Court Hears X-Citement Video Case in Wichita
Kansas Supreme Court spends half an hour weighing licensing and enforcement of adult entertainment booths at X-Citement Video in Wichita. Case questions who can enter booths, monitoring duties, and whether the city enforces the ordinance too strictly. Justice Lockett questions the city attorney over lewd acts versus watching. The dispute hinges on whether two people in a single booth violate the ordinance and who is liable for violations.
