Detroit Strip Clubs: Detroit police crackdown in high-crime areas crosses line, critics say
March 3, 2010 at 3:00 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsBut Evans insists he’s going after criminals, not violating citizens’ rights. “Say you pull a guy over and he doesn’t have a license. The smell of weed is so strong it knocks you out. That’s two violations right there. We’re going to take him out of the car, pat him down. What else does he have? Sometimes a gun. We’ve pulled hundreds, maybe.”
During a Feb. 26 night patrol, Evans and Jones pulled over eight vehicles. Violations ranged from broken windows to failing to obey stop signs. Of the eight vehicles stopped, only two had the required paperwork: driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance. One motorist was in possession of an unregistered gun, which was confiscated. Another stop netted a carload of teenage boys smoking marijuana. They told police they were headed to a strip club.
