Tremblay, a case involving a strip club called The Pussy Cat Club.

Several police officers from the morals division were considered experts at the trial because they had visited over 100 strip clubs to gather “evidence” in the 5 years preceding the trail. Interesting, that. I’ve also heard that in some parts of the US undercover police go to strip clubs, purchase dances all night, then fine the dancers for not having pasties that are big enough or thongs that have enough square inches of fabric. And here I thought our governments were all about pushing the nordic model and criminalizing the buyer instead of the sex workers? I guess there’s an exception for law enforcement! I can just imagine a cop coming home to his wife and telling her about his day at work going to see strippers and/or having sex with women so he can “save” them (I assume the cops are going to be hetero men soliciting female sex workers…would they let female cops have sex with male sex workers to save them I wonder?).
