What's the worst search you've gotten before going into a club?

[zeronineteen]

For me it was at Pacha in NY when Digweed played there during the Diamonds tour. First got the typical patdown and pockets check. Then the guy proceeds to grab my balls and yanked them so hard! He did the same thing to my friend too! He should have at least taken us out to dinner first! I'm suprised he didn't want to check my fucking prostate! Talk about feeling violated. To top it all off later that night this kid walked by me with a fucking knife clipped to his belt! They are practically giving cavity searches at the door and they miss a knife?

Re: Worst search before getting into a club?

A club called This is London. The first female security check thought she felt something in my bra. I denied it and rearranged right in front of her. She said I could go in after the other female securtiy checked me, and check me she did! I don't know how she missed my dube!

Re: Worst search before getting into a club?

i hate this sort of shit!!

i always get the full going over. clubs, airports, the lot.

i guess i look shifty. or maybe its because i'm indian. but everyone thinks i'm upto no good.

it really takes the shine of a good night. when the bouncers act like the undereducated neanderthals they seem to be.

pretty stupid IMO...they are just doing their job. All of you or most of you do drugs and then u complain about being searched...well guess what bouncers are there (at least in theory) to try and stop you from bringing in drugs to the club.
Its like coming to the air port with a T-Shirt "I love Bin Laden" and complaining about being searched.

no one said anything about drugs!

its just the way bouncers treat you. regardless of drugs or not. its not even a problem about being searched. (obviously it becomes a bit of pisstake when it gets to discrimination because of the way u look)

This may be true in a minority of clubs but the sad truth is that most door men are power ego drug dealing wannabe's. I used to go to a club in Sheffield in the late 80's early 90's, this club became my second home, so much so that I got to know the owners. It was quite abvious that the door men were not only there to search people for drugs, but then the drugs they did find they then proceeded to sell them back to the people they took them off in the first place (This was done by runners, not the door men themselves)

Regardless of what you put in place to stop people taking drugs in night clubs.. people are still going to take drugs in night clubs. If you totaly eradicate drugs from clubs then the majority of clubs aren't going to have any one in them.In my opinion, don't employ a door man/women to search every person that enters a club, it's a waste of time. Employ some undercover door men to find out who is dealing in the club instead. Anyone caught dealing in a club deserves to be shot for their stupidity.

Re: What's the worst search you've gotten before going into a club?

i've had the bouncers give me back my drugs at turnmills.

they didnt believe me it was for personal use, but they gave em back anyway. so fair play to them. wouldnt let me in mind.

MJ has it in a nutshell. Searches and patdowns at the door should be for weapons not for drugs.

Did I say anything about drugs? NO. I am not complaining about getting
searched. However, I am complaining about getting my fucking nuts grabbed and yanked on! Guess what? Don't accuse me of something I don't do or anyone else for that matter. I know the bouncers are just doing their job, but they don't need to fucking squeeze someones fucking nut sack. You're not complaining because you probably like it!
