Lingerie Store Raid Options

The crack-down on sexually oriented businesses continues, this time, targeting a local lingerie shop.
Police raided the Somethin’ Sexy lingerie store at 53rd and Slide and arrested the clerk. The law states, you can`t have more than six of the same sexual item for sale. Several explicit items were confiscated during the raid.

The owner, who asked to remain anonymous, says the raid is a waste of resources.

"I think it`s unfair, I think it`s old fashioned” he says. “I`m sure they`ll be several people who will agree that the raid was necessary and these items should not be sold in Lubbock. But I also think a lot of people think that this is wasted man hour by the police department."

No court date has been set for the store clerk. But if convicted, she would have to register as a sex offender.

The shop remains open and the owner says they are selling everything that`s legal.

Strip Clubs, Chippendale's, Lingerie Shops...

Seriously, Lubbock...you backwards-ass, hick fucking community of fundamentalist bible-thumpers.... Is there not any better way to spend those police resources?!?

FUCK

yay lets again immediately blame Christians. it must be their fault. they're the only people on the planet who don't like having dildo shops down the street from them.

on a more serious note, it sure does seem the lubbock police have turned into a new vice squad and I totally agree it's a waste of resources. then again, I also think it was a waste of resources to have some dude driving around in a car issuing warnings for city ordinance regarding yard maintinence.

I would be interested to know if there were any warnings given to the owners about violating city ordinance (before the "raid" (lol "raid"... did they go in wearing body armor with mp5s? ("DROP THE 5 FOOT COCK BITCH")))

Not blaming Christianity, just the "Christians" (or the ones beefing up obvious Christian Right morality) for enforcing their morals on everyone else. Same goes with the whole alcohol thing.

And yeah, the yard maintenance thing is a motherfucking joke. They once walked past my parent's house and issued them a $300+ citation for the chipped up sidewalk in front of their house (sidewalk that had been that way before we moved in the house). Now, isn't the sidewalk city property, technically? If it's not, then I wonder how they'd feel if my folks just tore it all up and planted bushes? heh

Why would Fox News cover a stupid bust of a sex toy shop in Lubbock, Texas? I'm not sure if you mean Fox News or the crappy Fox local affiliate "news" team. I understand that you're trying to take a jab at James in a sarcastic tone and implying that he's the voice of conservatism, but I just don't understand the reference to "it can't be true if Fox News didn't report it."

Just a lame sarcastic jab...nothing more.

well maybe that's not what you meant, but I dunno how else to read "Lubbock...you backwards-ass, hick fucking community of fundamentalist bible-thumpers"

and they weren't enforcing morals, they were enforcing city ordinance. apparently (if I read the article correctly) the city ordinance allows up to six similar sexually explicit items, and this store exceeded that number. so, you can say it's the people pushing their morals on others, but it seems fairly lax to me if the ordinance says "you can only have six purple three headed dildos on display at a time".

the police were perfectly justified in doing what they did. my only question would be is if they ever issued a warning. not that they would have to, but you'd think they would.
