Wisconsin Man Calls 911 After Paying Wrong Woman For Lap Dance

[matcom]

<snip>

(AP) CLYMAN, Wis. Oops! A man uses his cell phone to call 911 after paying the wrong woman for a lap dance.

The Dodge County Sheriff's Department log says the man called the emergency number early Saturday after he gave $20 to a woman at a Clyman club.

The woman did not work at the club and left with his money.

Failing to get a lap dance, the man called the sheriff's department.

Officers are trying to locate the woman.

1. In much of Wisconsin, you aren't allowed to touch the dancers in any way

Which, in my mind, defeats the purpose.

As for this moron, if he didn't want to waste $20, why the fuck did he go to a titty bar in the first place? Dipshit.

4. If a person wants to touch a woman,don't go to a strip club.

Duh.
It's entertainment,not sex. If you want sex, go pay for it; or go to a bar where there's a bunch of drunk, indiscrimminant women.
Not that I'm advocating anyone do anything illegal.
I'm tired of people who know perfectly well what the rules are before they come in a club expecting because they give me $10 or $20 that they are special and can break the rules....and risk me being arrested for possible solicitation of prostitution.
As long as we both understand what the rules are; I am perfectly willing to eneterain you for 3 min and 30 seconds; and lots of convo before and after...or not.


Hey..not bitching at you; just general. Sorry.

10. Nowhere in the article did it say he wanted to touch her but every

lap dance I've ever had involved the dancer touching me on some level.

And it wasn't sex.

[lildreamer316]

15. Well of course.

The point is one shouldn't go in EXPECTING it. What is 'allowed' and what really goes on are two different things, as we all know. I take issue with the fact that someone would expect it when the law and the club rules clearly state the opposite. And then withold payment or bitch about that. This person EXPECTS me to break the law for $20!!
It is my choice, as the dancer, how much contact will be made. I know clearly here in this city that if I break the six inch rule that I run the risk of going to jail/a charge. But that is MY decision and I choose to break the law or not. I want to take the responsibility. If I perform a dance; I expect paymet for services rendered. Period.
But; I've veered off the basic subject of the OP. He was right in the end to call the cops because he was ripped off by someone who was not an employee of the club and who did not perform the service he paid for. Hell, if I am an employee of the club and he pays me for a dance and I don't perform it; I believe he should get his money back.
I was taking issue with the attitude of the first reply.

6. Believe it or not, paying someone for exotic entertainment doesn't entitle you

to unfettered (or any) access to her body, even if she is a woman. I realize that's a concept many men on this board seem to be unfamiliar with, but maybe you could start trying to wrap your brains around it. Women, including those who work in the entertainment business or who work in the sex trade, aren't property you can just do whatever you want with.

11. Excuse me

I am not talking about fondling, I am talking about stuffing a tip into their g-string. The idea that I view women as property is fucking insulting, but, then again, I don't expect people at DU to have "nuances" in their beliefs, just reasons to get OMG OUTRAGED.

And as the other poster said, if you pay for a lap dance, there is going to be some contact, even if you keep your hands to yourself, which you would realize if you weren't too busy trying to gain some macho supercool uberliberal cred by being a jackass.

2. Why did it have to be Wisconsin?

God, I hope it wasn't my own stupid brother, I'm afraid to read the article.

3. Unless the woman pretended to be a stripper, how did she break the law?

[lildreamer316]

5. Payment for services..

it's theft.

Trust me; I know. If she is not employed there; it is certainly theft.

[philosophie_en_rose]

13. I'm not sure about that.

If this guy shoves $20 at her and she takes it, is it really theft? Wouldn't it be his fault for assuming that a woman can't be a customer at a strip club?

If she says "I am an employee of this establishment. May I entertain you in exchange for $20," then perhaps he may have a cause of concern. Still, $20 is hardly something to call 911 over. The least he could have done was call a non-emergency police line.

[lildreamer316]

16. You're right about the 911

but I've seen similar situations threatened at my club (with dancers employed there); and it was enough to get the customer reimbursed. And believe me; this club is not one to give money up if it dosent' have to. In a bad way.
We the dancers have been lectured about this several times; and told that if we do not perfom the service paid for; that the cops can be called. I'm sure it varies from state to state.

[philosophie_en_rose]

18. I think people are lying to intimidate you.

Not performing a service after taking payment may be a civil matter, but it is not at all a criminal matter. Otherwise, every asshat on Judge Judy or eBay would be in jail.

Anyone can call the cops, who may or may not be intrusive investigators. But a prosecutor that endorsed this type of case should face sanctions for frivolous prosecutions.

I am not suggesting that the customer would not get his money back or that the club couldn't expect to be reimbursed from whatever money the dancer accepted. However, all of those issues are civil and not criminal matters.

7. why the hell are officers trying to locate the woman? gimme a break.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

12. They're not ...

but they have to pretend to take this seriously. They'll search for her in a few donut shops, trying to keep a straight face (and failing)

[skygazer]

8. Our tax dollars at work

Twenty bucks? Chalk it up to experience, ya moran. :banghead:

[Initech]

9. D'oh!!!!

[rug]

14. This wasn't necessary. If RevCheesehead needs money all she ask to do is ask.

[yellowcanine]

19. That is funny as hell. I hope they gave him a citation for calling in a false emergency.

That's no emergency, that's stupidity.

[Withywindle]

20. 911? 911?!?

That's the issue here, IMO - stupid entitlement-complex freaks who think their little $20 ripoff tantrum is an EMERGENCY.

Weren't most people taught early on that 911 is only for situations where there's, say, a whole lotta blood or a whole lotta fire?
