    Default Camera Phones

    I think a similar thread was posted on SW, but I'll post it here too. As I was entering my local club last night the bouncer asked me if I had a cell phone on me, at first I thought "that's odd, don't they have a phone inside he can use?", he must have noticed my confused look because he then told me he just wanted to make sure I wasn't taking a camera phone into the club, apparently they have had some issues with that at the club. Seems like a valid concern for the ladies, has anyone had any issues with this (your own or witnessed anyone else's)?

    When the really good new camera phones come out next year, I predict this will become THE strip club issue
    for awhile. Motorola has some really good ones with
    high resolution and much better lenses. Low light
    level picture taking also.
    Unfortunately for Motorola they are way off on
    production delivery and it won't be until mid 2004
    on the new phones. Until then, I've seen some
    Samsung models with bad lenses, poor light
    level ability, and poor resolution.

    Guys are goofing off for the most part in strip clubs, especially in late afternoon to early evening.
    They are used to having their cell phones to keep their
    bosses, customers, wives mollified should
    some issue come up.

    It's going to be hard to get them to check their phones
    at the door.

    The dancers I like or fall for tend to be intelligent,
    and have a real life and another job. They are
    really dancing because of some money emergency or crisis
    back home or something. N o one knows they dance
    and they take great pains to hide their dancing from their
    "real" lives.

    They are real concerned about the advance of camera
    phones, live web cams at the club, and dancer picture
    posting on the web site. There is no way they
    will do this and continue to dance if picture
    phones become prevelant.

    Other dancers are into the stirip scene and
    realize they make more money by their own websites, advertsing, and web strip cameras.

    Of course they might not be happy about people
    taking their pictures without compensation.

    Going to be some interesting fights, both physical
    and legal over these cameras.

    Tight now the quality and resolution of the pictures
    sucks and very few peopleown the picture cell phones.

    Just my opinion but filtering several dancer comments
    into my response.

    These things are going to be a hot issue with respect to privacy and security at a lot of places, not just strip clubs. I've been to clubs where they will confiscate ANY cell phone regardless of whether it has a camera in it or not.

    Ironcally, Samsung has banned the use of the very camera phones that they make in its own facilities. Now hows that for irony?

    Great article, dr.catfish.... I always lecture dancers about giving ANYONE pictures. As the article warned, "In a moment of anger, a reputation could be damaged without any chances of recall." But they all say "I trust you" and not just to me.... As cell phone cameras get smaller with better resolution, clubs will have to ban all cell phone use outside restrooms. Some do that already.

    We have signs posted at the door - black background, white print - about how it is illegal to take pictures (etc) in the club due to it being adult in nature. Not those exact works but what the sign means.

    At the moment, I'm not too worried as I have seen the camera phones and they are too poor in quality to worry enough. You have to be really close and that makes it too obvious that you're using a pic. camera....

    My concern about the cameras will only go up as the technology to be able to shoot in low level light goes up... then I'm thinking cell phones will have to be left with reception (or something).

    Great Topic! Thanks for posting the article Dr. Catfish, I just posted it on my forum too....I'm not too worried about it, because people already know I'm a dancer. My only worry would be use of unauthorized photos..

    Some customers at my club have had their phones confiscated for trying to take pictures of dancers on stage. Duh! There are signs posted about pictures everywhere.
