    Default LA Bans Lap Dancing

    LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - You can look, but you can't touch or even get close any more.

    That's the order that went out to patrons of strip clubs on Tuesday when Los Angeles City Council passed a measure requiring dancers to stay at least 6 feet away from customers, thus ending lap dancing in the city.

    The ordinance, passed unanimously despite stiff opposition from strippers and adult club owners who fear for their livelihood, banned lap dancing and any other kind of bodily contact between dancers and customers in strip clubs, bikini bars and adult bookstores.

    The ban follows rising complaints by people living near adult cabaret clubs about prostitution, drug use, excessive noise and streets littered with condoms.

    But club owners and dancers, who make most of their income from cash tucked into their G-strings, have said the ban will kill the thriving business which employs thousands of people.

    The new law, which must be signed by Los Angeles Mayor James Hahn before going into effect, requires state-licensed security guards to be on duty at all times. Violators face up to six months in jail and as much as $2,500 in fines.

    Roger Diamond, a lawyer representing about 20 Los Angeles strip club owners, had opposed the measure, arguing that a city body cannot regulate what goes on inside adult clubs.

    But on Tuesday he said the clubs would "rather work with the city. We're not here to be bad neighbors," Diamond said.
    Pulled this from the SW board, I thought it might be of some interest on this site also. These fanatics are getting out of hand. LOL, perhaps Arnold Schwartzenegger can do something about this.

    That is fucking ridiculous.....they are complaining about the streets littered with condoms? well inside the clubs, its packed with condoms!..we just need more garbage cans.

    Up to six month in jail and as much as $2500?...seems a bit excessive compared to other fines.

    X, the only possible good I see from this is the possible relocation of some LA dancers to AZ.

    Aren't there better things for these damn politicians to be worried about, especially in f-ing California?

    Since its a city ban and not a county one, some of them may end up relocating to LA suburbs like Inglewood and City of Industry where the ordinance will not apply, but yes I do see a forthcoming relocation of LA dancers to Phoenix, San Francisco, and Las Vegas.

    That's why I don't go to try Boston any more. I can deal with half-grinds. I can deal with one inch and a little bump now and again - but six feet? You might as well watch the Spice channel. How dull.

    Even my old ATF, who could light me up like a Christmas tree, didn't seem exciting at that distance, when she danced in a club near Boston.
