In Louisiana, state law allows municipalities to place "matrons or policewomen" in dance halls. Why? According to La. Rev. Stat. § 4:361, "These matrons shall see that no lewd, vulgar, or suggestive dances are held, and that the costumes of persons dancing or performing in those places are proper."
As a side note, the law says that any municipality other than New Orleans may do this, and in New Orleans the police department may do this. I'm not sure what that says about city government in New Orleans. Like Fox News, "We report, you decide."
