District Court Judge Sally Loehrer threw out five misdemeanor criminal cases filed under Las Vegas law that prohibited strippers from fondling customers during lap dances is unconstitutionally vague. The law is now past tense.
Strippers had been barred from touching or sitting on the customer’s genital area but defense lawyer James Colin said a lack of specifics made the law impossible to enforce. It stated only that strippers and their patrons should not “fondle” or “caress” each other. It would seem licking, petting and poodling were up for grabs in this semantics snafu.
“It’s too confusing,” Colin said. “No one knows.”
Under Loehrer’s ruling, no dancer in the city can be arrested for violating the municipal code. But, the strippers can be violated if they're arresting. The city is considering an appeal.

'Unconstitutionally vague'. Awesome. I'd say that thing about the right to bear arms was unconstitutionally vague, but no-one would be listening 'cause it's not about being fondled by strippers. Or caressed. Or even smoothed.
