Judge: Lap Dances Protected By Constitution
Opposed Residents Call Ruling Setback
POSTED: 12:23 pm PDT June 30, 2007
UPDATED: 12:33 pm PDT June 30, 2007
SALEM, Ore. -- A Marion County judge said lap dances in Salem are
protected by the free speech provisions of the Oregon Constitution.
Judge Albin Norblad's ruling struck down a city ban Friday on
"prohibited touching" -- sexually exciting physical contact for pay.
The case involves 24-year-old Laurel Guillen, a dancer at a Salem club
called Cheetah's, who gave a lap dance to an undercover officer in 2005.
Salem residents hoping to limit Salem strip club activity called the
ruling a setback. They said they hope to get a measure on the ballot to
amend the state constitution to strengthen local government regulation
of strip clubs.
Cheetah's does not serve alcohol and is open to people 18 and older.
Salem City Attorney Randall Tosh declined comment but said the city
would review the ordinance and consider an appeal.

I wonder how many times the judge had to go to Cheetah's to 'gather
evidence'?

And who paid for it? Your tax dollars at work...

I'd rather my tax dollars not be misspent. Still,
I'm less unhappy if my tax dollars are spent on a
lap dance than on the slaughter of Iraqi
children.
