Court rules strippers must at least wear ID cards

license display will allow police officers to determine more easily whether a performer is complying with city regulations

Sure they'll be looking at the license tag. Sounds like a great detail for the male officers! (and some of the female officers too!)

"With this opinion in hand, we will start enforcing that requirement,"


Enforcing this law must be pure hell. I bet noone volunteers for it at all

"You need a license to strip???? "

Yeah right. Next we're gonna need a license to go to the toilet. Probably require us to have a hazmat placard on our butts.

I thought TADSLOS made a truly excellent point.

Even the phrase 'Illegal Alien' is being treated like a racial slur. Illegal Aliens are petitioning to get college education discounts, Social Security, special grants and privileges that hard working American's do not qualify for.

Now, the city of Houston is requiring LEGALLY employed Americans to display their ID; yet the police are forbidden from even asking to see the ID of a suspected Illegal Alien.

What are they going to pin the badge to?

Let me know when they find out. I wanna see it for myself...

WOW! You mean I'll get to find out Bambi's real name?

What are they going to pin the badge to?

Maybe she could just stick it in her ,ummm, pocket(?) and just whip it out as needed?

[expatguy]

It is a very good point.

I say we require all illegal aliens to wear an ID badge as well.

[sharktrager]

Not only do most dancers not use their real names, lots of clubs refuse to let them use their real names.

I don't think much of stripping as a profession, but I also don't think they should be put at even more risk just because the city wishes the clubs weren't legal.

Looks like there will be a few openings for ballerinas.

I think some will quit.

[rolling_stone]

ridiculous law/decision, outlaw stripping or make the laws about licenses sensible......

remember the HPD and Kmart parking lot fiasco? How will HPD use this new decision?

Expect more inspections.

Every year it seems there are reports of the fire inspector checking out the topless bars "during business hours".

I would think that anyone who goes to watch a stripper wouldn't need the parts labeled.

Can they just tatoo it on?

Someday we all may have to tattoo our IDs on. Mooooo.
