Melissa Midwest - Victim or the Crime ??
 

What do you think -

Post from earlier:

So I was sentenced today on my recent public nudity charges! The judge gave me 6 months probation and 50 hours of community service but told me if I finish my community service early she may let me off in December. I guess I would say it?s about what I expected but I still plan to file the appeal on Monday for both the conviction and the sentence because I still think it was crap. This may take up to a year to get resolved so I will go ahead and get my probation out of the way in the mean time. I also almost have my lawsuit ready to file I hope within the next 10 days it will be done. I am sure you will hear about all of this on the news but I wanted to share it before it was all over the place. Melissa


How do you feel about this ? Is she really got something to Bitch about ?

She feels she is a target for Cops ??? is this true or just Parnoid ?

Watch the video she has. Puts a whole new light on things.

Can you post it please ??

Definitly cops harassement... this was clearly established in the videos.

being from a small town myself I used to push a fine line with driving my dirtbike around town, and driving when the cops were not around etc.

things get tough when you play hardball with the law.

I think someone has misguided her that placing a big spotlight on herself was good which if its positive its good but since she is in the middle of nowhere the only way to do that is in the courts. I hope it doesnt backfire on the kid, that would be a shame.I also think if she was some old ugly chick no one would give a shit one way or another lol

You do the crime, you do the time. The law is the law. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU AGREE WITH THE LAW OR NOT. If the judge says the law was broken, then it was, end of story.

I agree with ya Tony I would hate to see her become a REAL target...however when she makes respones like this :

It's all about a certain police chief that does not like me and the fact that I am doing this in Lincoln or maybe it's that I make more then 10 times what he does in a year. Who knows but I am not going anywhere so get used to me! Melissa"


I mean want to piss of a Red Neck cop....Tell him you Make 10 times as much as he does...Nice one

I see how they could have gotten a little upset on this one:

I think that she should consider moving out of Nebraska and heading somewhere more sensible such as Polk County, Florida.

Check this out: From CNN.com http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/interne....ap/index.html

The 21-year-old Web designer was busted for violating Lincoln's public nudity ordinance by posting pictures on her Web site that apparently showed her naked in a downtown bar.

"It's unlawful to be naked in public in Lincoln," said Police Chief Tom Casady.

Casady said it was obvious to him that the photos were taken inside the Marz Intergalactic Shrimp and Martini Bar.

The owner of the bar, Jerry Luth, told Omaha television station KETV he is extremely upset by the pictures and did not give Harrington permission to shoot the pictures at the bar.

Harrington was to be arraigned in Lancaster County Court on January 29. If convicted, she faces a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $500 fine.

"They're not going to stop me from doing what I'm doing. I enjoy what I do and they really don't have any grounds now" to prosecute the case, she said.


So after reading this:

starts to sound like a CRIME....sorry but if you live there you have to go by there Laws good, bad or LAME as can be.

one day they're gonna catch you guys alone without the camera.
watch your backs!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :helpme

fucking with the cops in a small town is not a bright idea. They will change the laws just to fuck with you. Remember that people in Lincold Nebraska are not as open about adult as in lets say LA!

I think she is innocent.

"So I was ticketed again this week at Cheerleaders Bar here in Lincoln, NE for my WET-T-SHIRT CONTEST! A couple of weeks ago it was a public nudity ticket and now this week it was public indecency, they just don?t quit. See here is the deal I decided to poke a little fun at the police for harassing me so much so I had one of my friends dress up like a police officer and pretend to arrest me. It ended with him taking the handcuffs off me and then getting on stage to tip me. When this happen I grabbed his nightstick which resembles a penis kind of and I pretended like I was going to put it in my mouth. It was all part of the act (in which he was paid for) and seemed fun and the crowd really loved it but I guess the undercover police officers didn't. Soon after there were 9 police in full uniform as well as I think 3 undercover police and they literally shut the bar down right then and there. This we around 11:30 and the bar doesn't close till 1 AM! I guess they said that when I acted like I was going to suck the night stick I was breaking the law by doing a lewd sexual act."

She's hot. That's the only thing she's been guilty of..







:pimp

RAM, that's from the 2003 incident. The one she's posting about now happened a lot more recently.

From what I've gathered.... she had another of her "events" in a local bar. The law says a woman has to wear pasties to cover her nipples, but Melissa had on some sort of body paint instead of pasties covering hers. The cops came and arrested her anyway, even though she says other exotic performers locally have used the body paint and gotten away with it.

That along with her past troubles with these same cops has her wanting to file a harrassment suit and also challenge said laws.

Something like that anyway. :D

The funny thing is that Lincoln is a college town in some sense. Just head to a college bar on any weekend night and you'll probably see much worse shit going on in there.

she is a dirty dirty whore that repeatedly breaks the law and gets busted for it. at least thats what i hear

Interesting videos.... gotta love America.

You keep pushing the bullet and it's bound to explode in your face eventually.

Yes I understand this is from another case...However it seems to be just like this one.

another case "just like this one" meaning.... "Baiting the police for an arrest to draw publicity to her site... hoping to get in the news, stay in the news and profit from it?"

America has gone to the shitter entirely. In my fathers day there were shows ten times worse than MMW's show. Its creepy to watch as our "free" country
Won't tollerate adults seeing the nude body. (even when its not nude) ugh!!

How is it I stand up to the police and all of you are like be careful they are going to get you. I am sorry but I do believe I am being singled out and there is a lot worse going on in Lincoln, NE that they do nothing about. They send 6 cops to all my events and watch me so I don't show a boob now you are telling me it takes 6 cops to watch me? I also find it hard to believe that there is not other worse crime in the city that they could be stopping. Shit maybe only send 3 cops send the other 3 to another place! If you felt like you were being treated unfair you wouldn't fight back at all? I find it hard to believe all of you would run with your tail between your legs at least I hope not because that would be so sad. I was in a bar at night with consenting adults and I had my entire boob covered in Pink paint! Melissa

Here is what it looked like on my boob not much different then a paisty but the law does not even state it has to be a paisty that is only what they cops said they thought the law meant!

why not just try keeping your shirt on in public?

Here is the law as it reads now you be the judge! Who it to say what an opaque covering is I mean one judge may think this in and another may not. It seems to me to be more of a matter of opinion. Wouldn't that mean a girl with a white-t-shirt and no bra on be breaking the law? That would be less then a fully opaque covering because light can get through so there is a public nudity ticket! Melissa

I understand what you are saying but I was in a bar full of people 21 years or older that's the part I can't believe! As for your second post I am always trying to make you wet your so dam hot:winkwink: !!!

Melissa the name of the game here is to bait you into a response.

The best thing to do is ignore it. Just imagine that the originator of the thread has a dick issue (hence perhaps the name RAM in caps) or whatever. It doesn't matter. The truth is the people on here and their opinions are nothing to you or to anyone else. It is a collection of meaningless names in cyberland who meet up on here to produce an endless stream of shit with the occasional nugget of useful information.

Take what is useful and ignore the rest. Your life is real and has meaning. GFY is not real and has zero meaning. Remember this every time your read a post!:thumbsup

Take a look at the details from Melissa's latest case from my story on XBIZ.com

http://www.xbiz.com/news_piece.php?id=16352

It doesn't seem like she violated the law on this one, I have to say. The cops didn't even issue her a citation at the scene. They waited for the next day to serve her the papers at her home. From talking to Melissa it's clear the Lincoln, Neb. cops have it out for her - trailing her to gigs, posting undercovers in the bar, etc. Pretty pathetic for some "alleged" public nudity, don't you think?

Regardless, I think we can all agree the world is a better place with Melissa Midwest around.

OK... point 1... lets get this out of the way. I AM A CYNICAL PRICK.

now that we are beyond that...



when i see this type of "look at me, look at me, fuck you" crap followed by "oh wow... look how i am being victemized .... AGAIN" crap... its a little offensive. More offensive is the suggestion that you are doing it for others, fighting some fight you did not choose, that you were being picked on, that you are a martyr etc etc.


they didn't send 6 cops to an event of yours just as a random occurance or because they all hate boobs or the word melissa. they did it because you have a record of baiting them, getting in trouble and being warned.

there is a HUGE difference for "standing up" for something and intentionally pushing the boundaries, knowing you are doing so, knowing others are on standby waiting to arrest you for it... and planning these events to intentionally bait them and promote yourself, hoping for a scene.

one might also ask "how is it that you can intentionally bait police by pushing the lines in a way that you know is going to attract negative attention from them, threaten to sue them, do it all again and again and again... and then say you are "standing up for something"?

all you are standing up for is self promotion... EXACTLY like the nebraska co-eds guy... repeatedly pushing the line, hoping for publicity.

on the video posted on your site you even guessed right away what the problem was with your comment about transparent pasties (or being "too transparent") - YOU KNEW IT. it was planned. YOU MADE THE CHOICE TO PUSH. you didn't NEED to be topless. YOU CHOSE TO BE TOPLESS BECAUSE YOU KNEW WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES WOULD BE. You then try to play games with pushing the line of what acceptable coverage is... and you know you are playing this game and you know police are tired of you playing this game.

so don't act like you are just totally blindsided... you knew the lines, you pushed right up to the line and arguably beyond.



To supporters....
its one thing to be distrustful of authority. I even think thats healthy. Its another however, to ignore any and all FACTS of the situation in doing so. Its about LAW.... not about opinion. not about anyones subjective beliefs of what is or should be "right" or "wrong". its about a person being warned several times already for similar behavior and that person not knowing when to stop. are the laws right or wrong? i dont know. the community apparently doesn't seem to think so.

This just needed to be quoted and repeated...

:pimp

OK SO ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS WHAT WILL YOU SAY WHEN I WIN MY APPEAL??? MELISSA

Haha those were funny videos, Melissa is cute and she's not hurting anyone, just having some fun. The world needs more fun people like Mel. Good luck in your battle.

Is that some type of defense for committing a crime? Only the worst crime being committed at any given time within a certain vicinity is enforceable?
