MdTA Police Must Pay Strippers Back
From The Baltimore Sun:
First of all, I only read this story because I thought it was about the good kind of strippers, the nubile, young female ones.
Interesting story anyway, though. The cops were kind of creepy, I'd only expect that to happen with female strippers, so it's good to know that there's an equal opportunity for both male and female strippers to be harassed by the cops.
The thing I keep coming back to , though is the money that the cops confiscated. Not that it was confiscated, though that had to be illegal as all hell. bit the amount of money.
$10,000 FOR ONE EVENING'S WORK?
Hey, good for Edward Cloyd, 30, of Washington; David A. Lawrence Jr., 32, of Severn; and Derrick Williams, 31, of College Park. But $10,000? How the hell did my life go so wrong that I work my ass off, sitting in front of television screens for 10 hours a night, four days a week to make an amount of money that's more than that in a year, but not by nearly enough.
One look at me will make you realize why this is not a viable vocational choice for me. Still, a guy wonders...

A Baltimore District Court judge has ordered Maryland Transportation Authority Police to return money taken from three male strippers stopped for speeding just south of the Harbor Tunnel last year.
The three men, returning from a show in Philadelphia, were arrested after their attorney, Jimmy Bell, said police found a small amount of marijuana on the roadside. Police officers then confiscated about $10,000 in tips the three men had received at the show. While in custody, one officer also took nude pictures of the three, saying they were needed to document any tattoos.
According to court records, Baltimore prosecutors dropped misdemeanor drug possession charges against Edward Cloyd, 30, of Washington; David A. Lawrence Jr., 32, of Severn; and Derrick Williams, 31, of College Park.
A $5 million civil rights lawsuit against the agency is scheduled to go to trial March 28, Bell said.
