QUOTE 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 -------------------- |

I'm sure there's more to the story than what is being said. What law? A state law or a city ordinance?

That makes it even more confusing!
QUOTE The lingerie store, Somethin’ Sexy was raided by police last week for violating Lubbock`s sexually oriented business ordinance. Then a little while later... QUOTE Earlier this month, four officers raided the shop, confiscating several toys deemed to be illegal by the Texas penal code. The code states "a person who possesses six or more obscene devices is presumed to possess them with intent to promote the same." In other words, intent to sell. I guess I still need to know what they're considering obscene. Just because other stores across the state keep these obscene merchandise in the open doesn't make it legal. Larger cities like Dallas have more problems to deal with than Lubbock, so they prioritize differently. Don't get pissed at the enforcers of the laws; get pissed at the creators of the laws. -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?

Those who enforce shitty laws are just as guilty as the law-makers.

Everyone who is in Lubbock should go to Somethin Sexy and make a purchase to support that shop... then mail it anonymously to the police station! Maybe they have too much "tension" that needs to be "released"

It is not their place to question whether a law is shitty or not while on their job. Enforcers consist of both the D.A. and the police. They're both part of the executive branch, the branch that acts out on what is decided by the legislative branch. It is the judicial branch's responsibility to decide if a law is shitty. When you have executors deciding, you start to have corruption, which I'm sure we both agree is not what we need. -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?

so a person who innocently sells a product in a store will be grouped into the same category as a child rapist.
that doesn't make any sense whatsoever. -------------------- Don't sweat the petty, pet the sweaty.

Now you're going to have to drive outside city limits to get your butt plugs. But in all seriousness, this is bullshit. Not surprising in the least, but bullshit all the same. I'd encourage as many people as possible to go to a city council meeting and raise hell because our joke of a mayor and city council want to be the morals police of lubbock. -------------------- LANCE IS PRO-CENSORSHIP!

Yeah. Yall are barking up the wrong tree. City council and mayor have no control over this law. If you want to complain, have a chit-chat with the state representatives.
http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/statutes/docs/...00.htm#43.23.00 There's the law. Pretty easy to read. So yeah, when you contact your state representative, at least you have the exact code to reference. -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?
