Eric, that’s a good point re: if some evidence existed as to the need for a law, less than a year after the legislature passed a law giving local authorities to be more restrictive if they chose to be. This argument is similar to the voter ID law – from what I understand, cases of voter ID fraud are next to non-existent, so the rules put in place not only serve as an impediment to people who should be allowed to vote but didn’t need to be enacted in the first place.

As for your last question – you know, I’m not the best person to answer that! But I certainly agree with the point you make.

Thanks for reading and commenting.

I think the new law would have more bite if there were solid numbers showing additional crime after midnight at these clubs .. or that police are often involved in keeping the dancers and customers from touching one another.

As it stands, it screams of those who are home in the evenings and tucked into bed before the clock strikes 12 trying to push a moral agenda so they’ll sleep better at night.

That being said, how does regulating the sinner make them more likely to confess the sin?

Just thinking aloud .. good post Jill ..
