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

Impala, you're forgetting all the wasted tax-payers dollars that paid for these ridiculous raids, and hundreds of thousands of dollars that will go towards lawyer's fees, DA fees, etc. in the prosecution of the poor clerk. Then all the wasted tax-payers dollars that will be needed to either jail the poor clerk or put him on probation.

Thank you, this is exactly what I was going to say in response.

hundreds of thousands of dollars? I don't think so.

the point was, it's not like the streets of lubbock have been running rampant with crime the past however many years because a handful of cops took part in a few hours worth of questionable raids.

I know that these 2 incidents don't take a lot of time, but the keyword here shouldn't be police time, it should be "resources." As in the police officers that are assigned to a dildo store raid instead of patrolling the streets, the guy that was shot over rent money in a domestic dispute at the same time the city had like 20 cops and at the Chippendale's show, the DA's resources, the lawyer fees and court fees associated, and whatever other processing fees that I do not see on the outside. Us taxpayers pay for all of this crap. These two separate incidents are good indicators of where the city's priorities are! It tells me that they must not really care about drugs, violence, and other harmful crimes if they're willing to set up these stings ahead of time and use more manpower than necessary to accomplish them.

Why did the clerk get arrested but not the owner? That makes even less sense.

Because they used an undercover cop the night before to go in and buy a dildo from the clerk. The clerk was arrested for selling the obscene toy to the cop and they confiscated everything else.
