Detroit Strip Clubs: Appeals court rules for Shelby County restrictions on strip clubs

March 3, 2010 at 1:24 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No Comments

The strip clubs themselves have argued in court filings that the new rules passed by the County Commission in September 2007 are meant to shut them down.
The ordinance would eliminate alcohol in the clubs, require all workers in such businesses to get licenses, and would keep performers at least 6 feet from customers and each other.
It would apply to all sexually oriented businesses, such as adult bookstores, and massage parlors, not just strip clubs.
The new ordinance faced an immediate challenge from owners of several strip clubs: Christie’s Cabaret; Downtown Dolls; The Gold Club; The Jet Strip; New York, New York; Platinum Rose, and The Pony. The clubs argued the law violates First Amendment rights to free speech.

Efforts to reach lawyers for the strip clubs were unsuccessful Tuesday afternoon.
