Conspiracy Theory

After dealing with police, courts, attorneys, and other "criminals" in the past few months, I have developed a new conspiracy theory. The old club I used to work at remains open because it is a mecca of crime and drugs. It allows the police a place to slowly prey on people in order to keep their numbers up(aka quotas). This is merely a theory, but it seems logical once the facts I have discovered are added up.

The first thing that made me question the system(besides being arrested in a bikini for marijuana) was when I recently met a man in court. He was nervous looking, but very friendly and open about his charges, future imprisonment, and his past. He just needed a few kind words and someone to listen to his story. Small talk puts people at ease. I have learned this throughout my dancing career over and over again. "Rick" was caught with a quarter pound of meth. This is the norm around Lane county, so I was not taken aback as much as I maybe should have been.

Rick was caught at the club like myself, but they arrested him down the street. Arresting him down the street would save the club a black mark for having police interaction. Every bar avoids police interaction, especially strip clubs. He informed me that two dancers ratted on him from my old club. Now looking back this makes more sense then any other option.

There are two dancers at my old club who would get arrested and come back to work within a night or two, repeatedly. The first was a blond girl with children and a habit. I have even seen her(with my own two eyes) shooting up in the club, through the bathroom stall doors. Only to float around the club afterwards in a zombie like daze.

The other girl was a brunette. She was fighting the powers of addiction and needles, sometimes to win and sometimes to loose. Out of the blue she appeared on St. Patty's day on the party bus we have in town. When we were making uncomfortable small talk, she informed me that she ran out of the club without informing the bartender to join the party bus. It was a better gamble for her to leave the club then to stay and work at the club that night. Not an unusual story, I have seen girls make this decision many times.

Hear no evil, Speak no evil, See no evil.
My old motto that allowed me to survive at my old home club.

P.S. Also, when I was arrested the two young men police officers, who took me to two different jails without letting me post bail, informed me they do not enter the club because it is looked down upon. At the club in Texas I worked at, it was routine for the police to enter the club and make sure the laws were being followed. Why is Oregon different? Especially, because Oregon has much more liberal laws when it comes to strip clubs.
