[QUOTE="Dave-M, post: 832003, member: 17407"] Hiya, Just wanted to add our story to this as it was us that started the ball rolling on Faceberk about the whole bouncer intimidation thing. We got there well before it opened, myself and my Mrs, I'm a 41 year old bloke, don't drink, just out for a good time. Got searched 3 times on the way in, 3x pocket empties, 3x frisks and a metal detector. My Mrs got 2x searches. So, we were in there until about 11:30, just me and her, dancing, hugging, the usual kinda stuff for that kind of event. My Mrs sat down to my right and as she did, 4 bouncers swooped on me, one tried to push me into a dark corner with a maglite to the belly, to which I pushed him back and told him to get fucked, he was Polish (as is my Girlfriend, fortunately), he said he needed to speak to me in this dark corner, I asked why, he wouldn't tell me, so again, I told him to get fucked. Then another bouncer started, this time a skinny black guy, he said that the polish guy wanted to strip search me, and at this point I actually pulled me and my Mrs away from this corner because I feared for my safety as another 2 bouncers had arrived. They said, we are going to strip search you, and I said, no you fucking well aren't, you have no legal rights to even touch me, and if you do, you will be in trouble. At this point, the black guy conceded that they had no legal rights, nodded to the polish guy and then said to me that if I did not consent to a strip search, he would have to ask us to leave. I immediately said that we are leaving anyway. They then flanked us to the foyer. So, we get to the foyer and we are guided to the left hand side, a door is flung open and they say that they are going to strip search both myself and my Mrs and 3 of them are trying to force me into this room to be strip searched - By this time, I was, shall we say, fuming? Aint gonna happen! The very thoughts of them keeping me in one room while four of them strip search my Mrs is enough for me to push past the Polish guy and kick up a fuss, I could see plenty of non bouncers, a CCTV camera, and ambulance staff, so if they did try to detain me against my will, then they would have been in bug trouble. As I was leaving, the black guy went over to who I presume is the head doorman, said something and he came walking after me shouting that he's remember my face and that I'm barred for life..... Now then, I'm 6ft 2" and 16.5st, big build (bigger than the turds that tried to to accost me) and can look after myself reasonably well, the thing that worries me here, is that had I been a shorter, skinnier chap, would I have been overpowered and would my Mrs have been subjected to an illegal strip search by 4 or 6 male doormen as they were threatening to? It seems so.
