Was line dancing here with my girlfriend and as we walked off of the dance floor one of the bouncers (tall bald guy) walked up and demanded her ID. Which he had no right to do. She did not have a drink in her hand the entire night nor was she displaying any behavior that would prompt any suspicion of underage drinking. She was simply line dancing and even performing the moves correctly!
After taking her ID the bouncers told me to stay inside while they escorted her out of the building. At this point, I was very concerned for her safety. There was no real police officer present and they were illegally detaining her without any reason. She was perfectly sober the entire night. They even gave her a sobriety test (which she passed). After illegally holding her and keeping us separated for about 10 minutes, they asked us to leave. We had felt we had our civil rights completely violated as US citizens. We were doing nothing wrong, just dancing normally like average people and they held us apart.
Keep in mind that they are in no position to detain anyone since they weren't police officers. Actually, one worker was wearing an outfit much like a police officer. It was all black and had a symbol patched on the shoulder. Basically posing as a police officer. I am still really suspicious of the whole event that took place. Obviously, this place should be investigated immediately.
