L.A. Bans Lap Dancing
The morality police are out in full force in L.A. The Los Angeles City Council has banned lap dancing at strip clubs.
The City Council has voted to ban lap dances and all other physical contact between entertainers and customers at strip clubs, bikini bars and adult bookstores. A "no-touch" rule would require dancers to remain at least six feet from customers even when dancers are tipped. The council also voted Tuesday to outlaw "VIP rooms," where nude dancers perform privately.
....Supporters of the law argued that strip clubs contribute to prostitution, drug use and violence.
At least one attorney, Roger Diamond, is challenging the law. Many dancers are opposed to the law because it threatens their liveihoods.
