    Default I got fucking arrested at work

    I unknowingly danced for a vice cop tonight. Apparently, so did 5 other girls. They called us into the back office and said if we didn't cooperate they'd take us to jail in paper suits where we could wait to be bailed out. We cooperated. Our licenses will be suspended, we then have to appeal it and go to court with the club's attorney for this charge of an "indecent act" or whatever.

    My manager said that in Seattle, the law is written so that anyone can be arraested at a club. If you LOOK AT a guy for too long while doing a dance - indecent act. Wearing see through clothing - indecent act. Grinding - indecent act. I just did my normal dance, the cop didn't act weird or try to coerce me into doing anything strange at all.

    Anyway, it's shitty that this happened to me on my 5th day, but one of the other girls said she has never seen the cops not take the girls out of the club when they were arrested. So I got lucky, Man, this is so discouraging, it really makes me want to never go back.

    Wow. That really sucks. I have been fortunate enough to have never been arrested during a raid on a club. But then in the towns and clubs that I've worked in there has always been warning that they were comming. When one bar, even if it's not a strip club, gets hit by vice (they check for those gambling in bars too) the people who work there tell a few other bars, and then they tell a few bars, and so on and so on.

    Most of the clubs I've worked in....the housemom or bartender would call the girls aside and lets us know that vice was around and to be careful. But at one club they went even further and changed the lighting on the main stage when vice was around. Normally the lights would be mostly red tinted, but when the police were comming, they would change them to mostly blue tinted and flashing to let us know.

    Sorry to hear this happening to you too. Here is a hug. I work in Dallas where the cops have been making their rounds too. No one is ticketed. We just get warrants in the mail. I have to go turn myself in for processing monday. So I will be in a holding cell all day.
    I sympathize with you girl. It is never the level of contact or lack there of that brings about the busts. It is just political motive and religious fanatics. I think that by the cops going into the clubs it actually makes the working environment worse for the girls in that now they have legal bills to pay off. I can only imagine the type of pressure I would feel if I had a kid, and I was in a place like Kentucy where the cops are literally tying to close down places.
    Find yourself a lawyer girl. There are plenty of articles on the internet about how to find a good one. I met with three different lawyers before I found one I wanted. Fight this charge if you can. It is only by standing up for ourselves that this industry can survive. Besides if we all let them take away the right to give and receive a dance what will be next.

    Sweetie, don't let it discourage you. I have also been lucky not to be around when a raid was happening. You really have to assume in your head that everyone is a cop, and it's fuc*ed up to have to think that way but you have to be careful. I'm sorry this happened to you. Everything will work out though, hang in there.

    I am so sorry this happened to you, especially when you're just starting out!

    I worked with several Seattle girls when I was in Alaska, and I didn't hear a single good thing about working in the clubs there. I think Seattle and San Diego would have to be the two worst cities to dance in the U.S.

    Keep us updated, and good luck!

    Sorry that happened Noelle. That's a hassle. I was visiting a club tonight to think of working there in Boston (which is no contact) and there was an undercover cop car ( w the police radios) at the entrance when I walked in and there was a cop in uniform standing inside the entrance when I left. I'm not sure if it was for dance laws or if there had maybe been fights or crime around there.

    Ohio's laws are the same way. According to the law, if you do anything that can arouse someone, and it is for money, then it is considered prostitution. Anything.

    wtf? Is this common is US clubs, undercover cops going after dancers? Aren't there murderers and rapists to catch or something?

    That sucks ballsack. What is the purpose? I guess they want to make it difficult for the clubs to run their businesses...for the purpose of, what, getting rid of them? You'd think try something more effective like having the insurance rates for exotic clubs hiked or something.

    What I don't get is why they bother to 'bust' you if you didn't do anything- and I believe you didn't. I just believe that they're lazy dimwits who want to get paid for getting VIP dances, and so have to prove that they did 'work'.

    I'm sorry to hear this too...come up to Van! :p

    It is election year.

    People are small-minded and stupid and will continue to ooze bullshit out of every oriface of their bodies about our work when they dont know a damn thing...unfortunately there's not a whole lot we can do about that especially when they are cops, except get a good lawyer

    Bottom line, there are consequences to dancing, including being persecuted for absolutely nothing.

Our licenses will be suspended, we then have to appeal it and go to court with the club's attorney for this charge of an "indecent act" or whatever.

    Wait, whoa, stop everything... What, exactly, do you mean when you say "we cooperated." And what's this "paper suit" stuff? What, exactly, did they say to ya'll? Was anyone else, i.e., manager, etc. present during stuff in back, or was it just cops and dancers?

    I know you didn't want to go to jail and have to get bailed out, but "this charge of an 'indecent act' or whatever" is not something you want to just accept if you don't have to - laundry-list of bad s*** can ultimately wind up flowing from your being saddled with this kind of BS.

    The club's attorney is looking out for the club not for you! That's not just my opinion, ethically, a lawyer can only have one client, and his client is the one that is paying his bill. I agree with GnBeret, the whole thing smells. I'm not exactly sure what you meant by "we cooperated" but you should seriously check into this before agreeing to any more "cooperation". In some cities, dancers are given what is basically a traffic ticket. Other places, pleading guilty to a lewd act can label you as a "sex offender", a label that you will have for the rest of your life.

    First thing monday morning, call a lawyer and find out what the hell is going on and what your options are.

    Virginia Beach never has these problems, but then in that town a broken law means the club loses its liquor license rather than some bogus charge for their dancers. The potential loss of all that income translates into the club doing all the regulation that the town could want, and the girls only risk being fired (not jailed).


    Sorry to hear it, Noelle. I had a near brush myself; I was the only girl not arrested the night we were raided. Trust me, in this town where thongs and brushing past a customer to get to the dressing room is violating contact laws, my escape was dumb luck.

    How sad. I'm really sorry you're having to deal with this.

    I have the feeling that we're going to hear more and more of these stories this fall as elections approach. I thank my lucky stars that strip clubs are simply not an issue in the town where I live and work *knocks on wood*. That's the one good thing about Austin; it may not have the big money potential or the number of clubs as Houston or Dallas, but we are fortunate in that the city's considerably more laid back about the issue than either.

    Best to you; I would definitely consult a lawyer because you never know what the consequences may be of "cooperating."

    This is probably something you definitely didn't want to deal with right now, and my thoughts are with you. Did they actually read you your rights? As in previous posts, never cooperate with anything until you find out what in the hell you are being charged with and why. Take notes even, you have every right to gather your own evidence to protect yourself. Also if they read you your rights and they ask you if you understand them say no because obviously if you thought you were doing something to get arrested for you probably wouldn't do it. You want to be able to fight back on every level that you can. They won't expect you to stand up for yourself and will wish they stuck to actually busting someone for a crime. Remember you are innocent until proven guilty. Keep your head up-

    Thank you guys so much for the support. For some more clarification: They told us we were under arrest for indecent acts, which is pretty much anything that is done during a lapdance. What I mean by "we cooperated" is that they said if we got hostile about it they'd take us to the police station. They put you in a zip-up paper suit so you're not sitting in jail in your dancewear, they don't let you call anyone or go to the dressing room to get your stuff, they take you directly to jail. We were extremely lucky we didn't get taken in. I didn't want to do that. I was so shocked by the whole thing that if I had tried to say anything about it I would have just burst into tears. They didn't question us, they just got our information, looked at our licenses, took their money back, and said we'd recieve a summons and our licenses would be suspended until we appealed it.

    The fact of the matter is that the way the law is written for Seattle, we can all be arrested at any time. Luckily, this charge is a misdemeanor, not a prostitution charge. The club's attorney will go to court with all five of us girls and argue the charge on a technicality or because it was a first offense for all of us. I don't see how the attorney would be looking out for the club, because the club wasnot charged with anything. it is strictly over the heads of us dancers. Basically the police are banking on the fact that we're stupid strippers and we won't show up for our court date.

    Like I said before, if the club is paying the lawyer, the lawyer is looking out for the club. Also, be very careful, even though this is a misdemeanor charge. Some states, even pleading guilty to a misdemeanor gets you labeled a "sex offender" for life. That can come back to haunt you in a thousand different ways, jobs, apartment applications, things like that. Some places print the names of sex offenders in the newspaper everytime they move. I still say, talk to your own lawyer about it.

    Welcome to Washington state! Girls who have worked there a while know that this will happen sooner or later, and I think the charge is $500 fine and no worse on your record than a trafic ticket, or ticket for littering etc.

    Brush up on your laws for Seattle. It is illegeal for you to recieve cash tips from any customer. Yup, the customers must first buy funny money, then tip the dancers with the funny money. Taking cash or any kind from a customer is considered lewd behavior, and can get a low level prostitution charge.

    Of course this is good for the clubs because when you turn in your funny money, the clubs keep 20% of the cash value (depending on the club). The customer also pays 20% of the cash value to get the funny money, so this is a real racket. The clubs probably didn't tell you this when you were hired, and kind of just threw you to the wolves, huh?

    The other thing the cops ignore is that the clubs are basically brothels during the day shift. There is never a bust during day shift, but full service is available in most Seattle clubs. And not ugly girls either. these chicks pull down $700-1000 on day shift, doing extreme extras, and do you ever hear about the cops coming in at 2 in the afternoon?

    I work in Portland and Missoula (both easy drive from Seattle) and hear the horror stories from Seattle girls all the time. I'm in Missoula this week, and about half of all the dancers here are from Seattle, right now.

    I'm sorry that you had such a bad thing happen to you. Try driving down to Portland for a weekend, and see if you like it any better. It is pretty easy to get hired in Portland, and frequently you can work the same day you audition.

    Good luck to you, and I hope your day is looking better.

    We're all pleading not guilty.

    ParisLove, if I had a car I would totally travel to Oregon or Montana to work, but right now I do not and school prevents me from taking too many trips. You're right though, some of the clubs here are pretty shady during the day. Usually I work dayshift at my club and it is totally clean. I find it ironia that it was my first time working at night and of course the cops had to come in =P.
