The settlement, which allows dancers to use latex coverings that make them appear to be topless, allows nightclubs to remain on the right side of a 2005 law that requires opaque coverings on the tops and bottoms of dancers, the Birmingham (Ala.) News reported Thursday. Advertisement Keith Miller, the state's chief deputy attorney general, said the state decided to settle the suit, which was brought by Charlie's Club in Birmingham, after U.S. District Judge L. Scott Coogler signaled that the suit would result in his declaring the anti-nude dancing law unconstitutional. "Then we would have had no regulation of dancing," Miller said. "Theoretically there could be totally nude dancing in every juke joint in the state." "We had a choice between no regulation and some regulation," he said. "What comes next is for the Legislature to decide."
