Apparently Strictly Skillz won a lawsuit over this.

Unlike previous inspections of Strictly Skillz… the August 21 [2010] search was executed
with a tremendous and disproportionate show of force, and no evidence exists that such
force was justified,” the appellate opinion stated.

The lawsuit stems from sweeps of several minority-owned barber shops and salons in 2010.
Deputies partnered with the state’s Department of Business and Professional Regulation for
what officials described as inspections.

Officials with both agencies said they targeted shops where inspectors had found resistance
or witnessed crimes in the past. Deputies found little illegal activity, but jailed
dozens on a “barbering without an active license” charge rarely used for arrests
