every couple of years the city tries to raid clubs and bust people for dancing and doing clubs. i've always found this to be a tremendous waste of energy and money. and now i have the evidence! from tricia romano's article:
"According to spokesperson MAGGIE GANDASEQUI of the special narcotics prosecutors' office, seven people were arrested and indicted stemming from the club busts. Browne says the city spent $34,465 purchasing 528 grams of meth and 258 Ecstasy pills inside locations. (It was not clear if this included the total of 1,006 locations in the city that have been closed or received restraining orders since January 2005)."
i'm so pleased they spent more than many people make in a year on drugs they aren't even going to do.
