    Default OMG - vent


    Okay I had a horrible night at work. Twenty three girls and fifty customers through the door all night. And they all wanted sex. I made forty dollars, and I decided to leave like half an hour early cause there were like eight customers there and I'd talked to all of them. But I made the rounds one last time, and noticed a new guy at the stage. I sat down and we had a short conversation and he asked about the dances.. I told him about the rooms and the prices and he says "will you really blow me without a condom in the champagne room?" WTF! I just got up and walked away and went home.

    So as I'm leaving there's a cop behind me. No problem, I'm not drunk, I don't drink, I'm going speed limit, etc. But after like fifteen minutes he pulls me over. Now I'm not naive, I've had some bad experiences with cops, including being surrounded by a swat team with guns pointed at me when I was nine years old. I've tried to file reports and been told that it didn't matter what happened because I was a slut. But for some reason I just thought that being an adult not engaged in any illegal activities or in proximity of any illegal activities that I would fall into the part of the population generally protected and served by cops. Don't know what gave me that fucking idea.

    So he says "ma'am I pulled you over because you seem to be having some trouble staying on the road." That totally had not occured to me. I was thinking maybe I had a tail light out. I just said "No I'm not." He asked if I'd been drinking and I said no, I'd been working. He asked where I worked and I said Christies and he asked what I did there and I said I was a dancer "oooh.. I see." So he pulls out a flashlight and shines it in my eyes while waving a pen around and says he see's "stagnancy" and I'm like "I don't see how you expect to see anything with a flashlight in my face."

    "Ma'am please exit the vehicle." Oh shit. He puts his one hand on his gun and grabs my arm with the other hand and pulls me to the front of his car. Now there are headlights, flashing siren lights, and a freakin spotlight in my eyes, and he does the pen thing again. Then he has me lift a foot and cout one one thousand to thirty. About the time I get to twenty five he remembers that I'm doing it wrong, I should have my leg extended straight out in front of me and I have to look at my foot. This whole time he's playing with his gun. So I do it that way and count to thirty. Then I walk in a straight line and count backwards from fifty and recite my name, address, social, and birth date. And the whole time he's telling me that he knows I'm lying, I smell like alcohol (duh, I work in a bar), etc.

    Then he wants me to blow in a breathalizer. I'm like oh no, my lawyer told me not to blow in anything unless he's there. And he's like, if you don't blow in it I'm going to arrest you for a DUI. And I'm like, how can you arrest me for a DUI when I just stood on one foot for sixty one thousands, walked in a straight line and all that stuff? Can I call my lawyer? And he laughs and he's like "No missy I'm not giving you a chance to talk to a lawyer" And he says either I can be arrested now, or take the breathalizer and be arrested. I said I'd take the breathalizer. He pulled his gun out and held it between us (but not pointed at me) while I blew. So by this point I'm seriously trying to remember if the bartender screwed up and put alcohol in any of my drinks, while standing there blowing in this thing for a cop holding a gun. So I blow, and he keeps yelling at me to blow harder, and then he looks at it and he's like "are you sure you haven't had anything to drink tonight?" and I'm like, "yeah, what does it say" and he's like "well, your blowing zero's." And I'm like, yeah, I told you so. And he goes, well I'm going to follow you out of town, and if I see you cross the line or do anything stupid you'll be spending the night with us.

    So I got in my car and realized my legs were shaking. But apparently I made it out of town without doing anything stupid. Hell, I even changed lanes a couple times, using my blinkers, just to impress him.

    I called a freind while I was driving home and she asked if I'd gotten his badge number and if I was going to complain and stuff. That hadn't even occured to me. I'm sure cops are allowed to harrass strippers.

    This sucks.

    Damn Lena that sux! And the MF at the end of the night has the nerve to specify that he wants his blow-job without a condom! Like "Okay MF! WTF makes you think I'm gonna put my mouth on you?! With or without a condom!"

    And obviously the cop had nothing better to do... too late Dunkin Donuts's closed, better shake down this stripper.

    Another example that some citizens have more rights than others, with cops near the top of the list and with exotic dancers near the bottom. The actions of your last "customer" and of the cop simply confirm the low regard and Hollywood Stereotype assumptions that the "general public" holds for exotic dancers. Actually it's a good thing that you were as co-operative with the roadside check as you were - the cop could have busted you for DUI had you not taken the breathalyzer and could have also busted you for "failure to control your vehicle" or other trumped-up charges which would have left you in the difficult position of attempting to prove your innocence against the word of a cop.

    And all of this bullshit for $40 in earnings on a Friday night ? No doubt that many other dancers in your club earned substantially more than that by agreeing to supply the 'extras' that the customers were expecting in the Champagne Room. This sort of treatment just seems to come with the territory these days, which is the main reason that I rarely dance live anymore. And the poor earnings potential now available to "clean" dancers in clubs where most customers are expecting 'extras' and where many girls are willing to supply them really makes you wonder if all the 'abuse' is worth it anymore when you could earn just as much, with benefits, at WalMart.

    Lena, you could have been driving erratic because you were mad, not because you had too many. If you acted defiant to the officer in the first place it might arouse his suspicions. If you refuse to take a breath analyzer test that will further confirm his suspicions. You could have just told him where you were and not reveal that you worked there to eliminate chances of bias on his part.
    An officer does have the right to pull you over if they determine any erratic driving behavior. Usually you would call your lawyer if you've confirmed that you were being arrested.
    I don't know about the gun drawing business. What I've heard is that that constitutes abuse if he does not have clear reason to do so. I would call the police department and complain if you could find the identity of the officer.
    The rule to avoid trouble is to cooperate fully with the officer, however I don't think he handled this case very professionally.
    We all have our bad days.

    Tomorrow is another day. I wish I had something better to say. Hang in there and things always improve.

    Hugs from the Monkedance man.

    Anyone with a memory should be very humble.

    That sounds like a horrible situation to me.

    I wish there was some way that we enlighten the rest of the world and let them know that strippers are just like everyone else, hardworking people trying to make a living.

    I hope you remember the officers name. Maybe something could be done, I don't really know how things like that work.

    Melonie,

    Yeah, I'm definitely changing clubs. I do like a lot of things about this club, but it's generally not worth going in except on Saturdays, and since I often can't work Saturdays and I don't want to be harrassed by this asshole cop again next time he see's me, I think I'll just move on. While we're on the subject, how would I find out what the laws in Ohio are?

    Naomi, yeah, the way he phrased it was weird too. I think he was just trying to fuck with a strippers mood.

    Ravin, I'm not sure that anything could be done, but if it could I probably wouldn't want to be involved...

    Lena

    Lena, the whole key to control is your attitude. I was grappling with my classmates a week ago. All of them are bigger, stronger, and younger than me. Only one outranks me. In fact the only advantage I have on the rest is my skill and knowledge.
    Eventhough they were lower rank I fought them to a stalemate. I could tell I was doing well because my instructor would say to my partner"I can't believe Dreamer got you in his guard (advantage position) "or " I can't believe Dreamer submitted you".
    Lena, you had to deal with a tough crowd. The guys you went against were losers who were there because they couldn't establish a good relationship with a woman the way they behaved. They thought they could buy respect from you. They were used to getting their way (sex) from impressions other women have left with them with lowered standards.
    You stood your ground. You didn't compromise your values. You've impressed them by your strenght of will. You're a survivor. You're a trooper.
    Not only should you have left that place with a sense of pride and accomplishment but you should have confidence that you've made the grade and now can help others through such dilemas.
    After a match I always shake hands with my partner. They're just helping me to become stronger.
