    Default Custies taking pictures in the strip club

    I just wanted to know how your club went about stopping this and any suggestions you may have to prevent it. Last night there were four pictures taken of me by four different people. One camara phone was confiscated that took one picture, attempts to confiscate the two other phones failed. The phone that was actually confiscated the customer had been taking pictures all night of various girls including myself and the bouncer finally caught him and took it. One was taken of me while a customer walked by and I was doing a topless table dance. I told the bouncer and the customer denied it plus they had on baggy clothes so you couldn't tell where it was. Then at the end of the night when all of the girls go on stage to say good-bye two were taken of all of us. Housemom had us all stand there for a minute because she wanted to take our picture from upstairs because we have a record number of girls at Heritage. Then the guy with the baggy pants took our picture and another customer took our picture. The floorman tried to take the camara from one of the guys and couldn't get it away from him but he said he would erase while the others never had their phones removed.

    This whole situation pisses me off. I don't really mind having my picture taken when I have my gown on but it pisses me off when I am topless because my picture could be exploited God knows where. These guys could put them anywhere.

    Do any of have metal detectors at your club or remove phones from customers caught taking pictures as well? This happens quite often at our club but last night was just ridiculous.

    Nope, and it happens more often than anyone could watch for it. Sucks, because it takes away our plausible deniability.

    I have guy friends who have shown me videos they took of girls dancing in the club in their video camera phones from over 30 feet away, its hard to stop!

    Yes, this is such a problem now. I really wish that most clubs would enforce a no cell phones out rule and have a separate set of bouncers to watch out for this. This is also why I put so much make up on and curl my hair every night to disguise myself. Most of those taking pics just are there for the free show and never buy dances. They really piss me off. I also worry that this infringes on the privacy of the older married male patrons who are my main sorce of income. My best friend who also dances claims she lost a good customer due to a cranky wife, and a private detective with a cell phone camera. Aparently the wifey could not handle the fact that her hubby got dances in the strip club. So she lost a custy.

    My suggestion is to get used to it. Now the cameras are the size of a cell phone. A year from now they'll be the size of a credit card. A year after that they'll be the size of your fingernail!

    Your picture being taken will become DE FACTO!!

    Get used to it, because it's enevitable!!

    Our bouncers watch for this hard core.... any time they see a phone out thats pointed the wrong way they grab it, take it to the back, check for pics and delete any if found. There is a sign posted at the door stating if camera phones are out, expect to lose them.

    haha last year i used to grab their phones and either throw them (to cause damage) or attempt ot throw them in the pool (our club had an indoor swimming pool)...no way was i letting a guy get away with taking pics if i couuld hepl it.

    unless the club helps you tho, you dont have much to stand on- is there a law in the US about such images? in nz there was one stating that NO image was allowed to be taken without the consent of the person in it- so had anyone complained- i would have won anyways

    We have a sign on the entrance saying that no cameras or picture-taking are allowed. Guys do try to take pictures once in a while, but the bouncers watch out for this, and their camera or phone will be taken away and the pics deleted. If it is a disposable camera (yes, we've actually had a few guys try to take pics of us with a disposable camera- this is big with the bachelor parties) the girl that the pics were taken of gets the camera and the owner of the camera has to pay her to develop the pics, and then she can take all the pics of her out, and the guy can come back on a different day to pick up the rest.
    Take the road less traveled- just make sure you have a map.

    WHAT?? You are supporting people taking unconsented pictures?? Let me guess, you're one of them.

    No one should ever have to "get used" to having their picture taken without their consent.

    My old club had a no camera rule. No cell phones were to be used inside the club. If you pulled your cell phone out to "talk" (come on, who really TALKS on their cell phone in the club?), it was confiscated immediately and given back at the end of the night. While they had it, mgmt would go through it and make sure that no club pics were in it. They were pretty strict on that...and the guys were told about it as they walked in...with signs everywhere. I cannot believe that your bouncers did not remove the offending persons and allowed them to stay. That is the first problem. Who cares if the guy had on baggy clothes? He violated the club rules. His many pics would have been cut down immensely if he'd been kicked out after the first complaint.

    No, no one should ever have to get used to having their pics taken. In fact, I'm all for clubs getting a phone detector and making the guys leave EVERYTHING in their cars. No one needs a phone in the club.

    A phone detector is a great idea. I thought a metal detector wouldn't be a bad idea either to detect weapons and such but I wonder how many strip clubs actually have them.

    There is a no phones rule in both clubs i work in. There is a sign on the enterence and on all the rules lists on the tables stating that no cameras or phones allowed. If someone wants to use theyre phone to make a phonecall then they can do it in the foyer. Like Venus said, who actually pulls out theyre phone to talk in a club, the music is far too loud to have any sort of conversation. This way if there are ANY phones out then the guys are immediatley asked to step outside to make a call. If anyone is caught taking pictures with a camera or phone then its confiscated until the photos can be deleated.

    The lighting at my club makes it nearly impossible to get a good photo of anything more than a yard away from your cell phone. The manager will still take your phone and delete the pics.

    While there are ordinances, rules, posted signs and bouncers ...they cannot stop it each time forever. I think its amazing that many clubs have not awaken and banned all phones. Any City Council with an agenda(or Vice) would love to accumilate many pictures and videos of an illegal nature, such as breaking a three foot rule, to support their cause in passing more laws/ordinances, shutting down clubs, and winning their court cases against dancers. I agree that many dancers and customers would rather not be on film on the 10:00 news.

    I truly hate this. In my club, customers are allowed to talk on cell phones (no idea why) but if pics are taken, then the phone will be confiscated and the offender kicked out. The bouncers try but generally it's the girls that look out for this. If a guy pulls out a cell phone, when we are walking the floor we will all look over and if he's taking pics then we'll call a bouncer over. The good news is, our word is gold and it doesn't matter if the guy claims he didn't take pics, if a dancer nails him... he has to give up the phone.

    One time while I was on stage, I saw a guy on tip row take a pic with a phone. The seat next to him was empty so I smiled, walked off stage, and sat next to him and chatted nicely. A bouncer came up immediately, and got him out. I went back and finished my stage.

    The good news is, my club will enforce a no pic rule. The bad news is, they have yet to give a shit about a no cell phone rule.

    I KNEW I'd draw some serious flak from that post!!

    First off, let me clarify, I do not condone, in any way, having pictures taken of someone without their permission.

    Perhaps my post was too emphatic. For that I apologize.

    What I'm saying is that over the next few years, the technology required to take pictures will shrink, significantly. At some point that camera (now in a phone) will fit into a button.

    You (or your club) cannot stop what they can't detect!

    This is another example of the technology having an unintended side-effect that we're not prepared to deal with.

    The internet has created an environment condusive to the proliferation of child pornography, and we're having a tough time dealing with it. That's not something that was thought about when the technology was developed.

    Clandestine picture-taking wasn't thought about when the camera phone was developed, or if it was it was ignored.

    If we (as a society) want to be able to deal with this issue, are going to have to change the way we think about it. What was once an issue of intellectual property (photo shoots, videos, etc.) will soon become an issue of persnal property. By that I mean having every single thing you do potentially being seen by the whole world!

    In closing, at some point, in order to confiscate cameras, you'll have to remove almost everything that the customers are wearing. I don't know about you, but seeing customers naked scares me

    Camera phones are one of the WORST inventions in the history of mankind. Seriously. I'd say it's right up there just underneath the nuclear bomb. I have no idea why so many people have them; I certainly don't want one.

    I bought one as it was convienant to have a camera within my phone.

    I abhorr (sp?) the use of mobile phones in strip clubs esp. in re: pictures being taken without consent... and also within private parties when they havn't tipped or paid me for that privelage (esp. when I'm doing more than a stripper-gram aka g-string show and/or topless waitressing) !!!

    In the private parties, if they want a photo then they will have to tip for the privelage. If they want a photo without tipping, then they can wait until I am dressed or only get a butt/back shot or any type of shot where my head/face (anything above my shoulders) is not in the photo. So yes, guys have taken photos of my pussy (at private party bookings) however since it was so damn close.. it was just of my pussy ....and well.. you can't see anything else in the shot I don't know too many people that know me THAT well !

    Yes, camera phones are the worst shit ever invented!!! Fuckin' A I tell ya!

    I think NO customer(even if he/she looks like they aren't going to take a pic, they can be sneaky & get away with it) should be able to talk on their cel. phone in the club, they should make the custy walk outside if they have to talk.

    I've had guys take my picture on stage at my old club. My new club is very stricy about cell phones on the floor.

    The thing I never understood about the guys that took my pic is that I'm on stage in t-bar and pasties and if they wouold've gone to the hostess counbter they could buy a club calendar with my NAKED picture in it.

    Because it's illegal for someone to take another's picture without consent, first of all. Second of all, MOST dancers do this "undercover" meaning that they do not want their face splashed all over the damn internet.

    Why is it so hard for people to respect other people?

    exactly. Tons of dancers don't tell their families or friends that they are dancing. The last thing they want to see is their picture somewhere where someone could see it. Furthermore, those pictures could be put in a site that earns money and you don't get a cent of it, and it's your picture.

    I absolutely hate this. Where I live, some clubs are strict, others don't care. We have quite a number of shifty bouncers who will allow the customer to tip them to not take the phone away. I would have all cell phones are banned rule so if they bring their phone out, they are given a warning to go outside. If they do it again, out they go. It's too easy for guys to say that they were only making a call or sending a text.

    My club is so dark it takes forever to get your eyes to adjust, so I don't think that's a problem. But I'm sure that if the roles were reversed, custies would like us taking compromising photos of them.
