Unjust Regulations
 

I believe that this proposal is unjust, unfair and highly irrational. It is a violation of civic rights to propose a dress code for individuals entering an establishment with an ABC liscense. It is unfair to the establishment and it's patrons to enforce regulations on wardrobe and public displays of affection simply because the establishment serves alcohol/liquor.

As an entertainer, I have seen my fair share of inappropriate behavior in bars, etc. These actions should be confined to the individual. The establishment should NOT be held accountable for the actions/wardrobe of its patrons, and in the same vein, the ABC board should NOT have the right to enforce any individual regualtions against said patrons. It's a violation of personal rights to have to adhere to any kind of regulation not set by the establishment itself.

I may not attend bikini contests, or grope people in public, but as consenting, legal adults, it is our right to act in a manner of our choosing without being restricted by guidelines and regulations other than our basic state and federal laws. The emphasis on the previous statement falls on CONSENTING and LEGAL. We are adults. We know the law. Indecent exposure, lewd behavior, all of that. We do NOT need a further regulation simply because an establishment holds an ABC liscense. It's simply irrational and a barter for more control over a society that should be able to act on its own, accordingly.
