Roberta strode out of the station wearing her uniform: her cap, mirror shades, her collar, a navy blue tube top emblazoned with POLICE on the back, her badge pinned to the top (also through the skin of her left breast, she liked to feel some pain while working) a blue canvas shoulder bag, a wide leather belt from which hung a key ring with many keys, a pair of handcuffs and an electric prod, and a pair knee-high black boots. The fact that she was walking outside with her ass and pussy exposed might seem unusual but she was wearing a regulation summer uniform for a slave courtesy foot patrolwoman on the Briarton police force.
Briarton had been founded in 1870's in what was then an unsettled place by a group of old-timey BDSM enthusiasts in order to pursue their lifestyle without outside interference. The town grew and thrived while the country grew around it. It was now a prosperous town of over 20,000 inhabitants where three quarters of the adult woman and one third of the adult men were permanent voluntary sex slaves, more than half the adult population.
Laws and customs are different than most other communities: for instance, there are no indecent exposure laws, adults may be nude or wear whatever gear they or their owners see fit in keeping with the town's safety and efficiency ordinances. Prostitution was legal, in fact, an uncollared person (the Briarton term for a non-slave) allowing the use of their slave by another for a financial consideration was just considered neighborly.
Don't think Briarton was a free-for-all sex resort. It was a working town with businesses, families, government and most everything else a modern town has. Over the years the Board of Masters had developed ordinances in order to insure that the town ran safely and efficiently without undue distraction or danger. Because Briarton's only serious crime was occasional slave abuse, (the uncollared were expected to inflict pain on slaves: slave abuse was intentional behaviors that cause lasting negative effects on the physical health or functioning of the slave) it was Roberta's job as courtesy patrolwoman to see that the ordinances were followed.
It was a bright summer Saturday morning meaning there would be a lot of pedestrian traffic. Briarton has automobiles just like everywhere else but it is a walkable town and most Briartonians prefer to walk (or crawl) in order to better see and be seen. As required by town law all slaves were recognizable by their collars. Collars could come in various styles but they had to be black and be of regulation width with a metal tag in the front embossed with the name and address of the slaves owner. All slaves were owned by some one, most by individual uncollareds, the others by one of Briartons many social clubs for the use of their members or one of the agencies that rented slaves to uncollareds willing to pay the fees and abide by agency rules.
A surrey rolled by pulled by a male and female team of two pony slaves, nude except for boots, bits, and harnesses. Roberta glanced at it to make sure its permits and safety equipment were in order. The elderly man in the seat must be fairly well off. A team and surrey along with permits would not come cheap. At least here on the street his whip would be for show. It was against the ordinances to inflict pain on slaves in public. The town had no objections to slaves being in pain, slaves thrived on it. It had been found that public infliction was distracting and reduced productivity. Much of the gear that slaves wore caused them pain but could not be put on or taken off except in designated areas (i. e. restrooms, variously equipped adult privacy rooms found in nearly every public building, social clubs, and adult play parks.)
A male uncollared walking his all-fours bitch slave talked to converse with a female uncollared walking her all-fours male dog slave while their slaves sniffed each others butts. Roberta smiled. Pet slaves love to sniff.
As Roberta walked past them, the uncollared man said, "Morning, worthless slut." and the uncollared woman said, "Nice day, stupid twat." Roberta answered back, "Fine weather we're having, sir and madam. The "abusive language" was considered the polite way to address a slave and Roberta enjoyed it. What was not considered polite was for an uncollared to publicly raise his or her voice to a slave or unnecessarily touch them with out their owner's express permission. They were not actually illegal but Roberta was authorized to give citations for disorderly conduct for more extreme instances of bad manners.
A man was walking her way wearing a black hood, cock rings, shackles, and too small spike heels. His hands were mitted and cuffed behind his back.
Roberta took her report pad out of her bag and checked his tag and wrote down the name of his owner."Your mistress sent you out like this?"
"Urnh," he said. He was gagged beneath the hood.
She checked his hood; the eye holes were large enough that his vision was unobstructed. She looked down at his feet. The shackles and heels slowed him down but not enough for him to be a hazard or obstacle. The cuffs behind the back would have to be corrected. Bondage was fine as long as it wasn't deemed to be hazardous. The rule for arm bondage on unaccompanied slaves was they had to be able to bring their hands to their eyes, nicknamed the "peek a boo" rule. Before the rule there were too many instances of accidental blindings and facial damage because the slave couldn't protect themselves. Roberta found a key on her ring that unlocked the cuffs. (As a cop, she was issued a set of "universal keys.") She brought his hands around to his front and locked his wrists together.
"Now bring your hands to your face, so I know everything is safe."
He covered his face with his mitted hands.
"You know your cuffs were against the law. I'll let you go this time but I took down your info and if it happens again your mistress can be fined and you can be put in jail."
To show there were no hard feelings despite her stern warning Roberta gave his balls a friendly little stroke. He let out an appreciative "urnh" and hobbled on.
A master and his male slave approached all done up in leather. They were walking upright but the master was leading the slave on a leash. As the slave passed Roberta he darted his hand out and rubbed her pussy.
The master yanked on the leash. "Gavin, don't get distracted!"
Roberta grinned. "Yeah, Gavin, keep your mind on your master." Gavin was probably one of the many male slaves who despite being attracted to women submit to a master because mistresses are in short supply.
As you may have guessed while it is considered bad form for an uncollared to touch a slave, there is no such rule when it comes to slaves touching slaves. Public sex in frowned upon but the uncollared expect and enjoy seeing their slaves engage in friendly touching. While there can be jealousies and incompatibilities between slaves most slaves have affectionate attitudes toward their fellow slaves. Seeing their slaves touch each other makes the slaves seem to be the innocent sex animals that every good slave strives to be.
In former times most slaves were house slaves; doing only household chores and pleasuring their owners. Now due to present day social and economic conditions most slaves have paying jobs. The pay goes right to their owners; as property themselves slaves don't own anything but they can and do work in nearly every conceivable field and position except for elected office. Roberta is a cop. She graduated from the Briarton police academy. Other slaves go to Briarton's fine four year community college or vocational school. Many go away to "outsider universities" where after adjusting to the differences between Briarton and everywhere else they study whatever they and their owner think they have aptitude.
Every workplace has its own rules of conduct and what is best for the job may alter expected relationships between slaves and uncollareds. For instance, if Roberta worked her way up the ranks on the force she would eventually end up with some uncollareds below her on the chain of command. They might call her "stupid cunt" to her face but still would be expected to follow her orders.
Roberta saw a harnessed up chubby young slave girl aged about twenty sitting on the bench near the bus stop. She had a look on her face that wavered between anticipation and anxiety. An older uncollared man sat down beside her and handed her a wooden disc. The disc system allowed owners to lend out their slaves without telling the slave the particulars while preventing unscrupulous uncollareds from misusing slaves without the owners permission. Each disc was marked with signs that identified as belonging to the slaves owner. It also had the name of the lender and, usually, an expiration date and time. Once handed the disc a slave was expected to treat the lender as his or her owner and do whatever the lender told them until expiration. The slave looked at her temporary new master and smiled, he was older but rather handsome and didn't have a weirdo look that might indicate he'd want to do something she wouldn't like. Slaves do whatever their owners, permanent and temporary, want but they all have acts they prefer and don't prefer. As the girl willingly followed behind her master for a day, Roberta imagined she was in for an interesting time.
Roberta walked past a group of teens, three boys and four girls. Minors under the age of eighteen are not allowed to be or own slaves. They were wearing shorts and tee shirts similar to the clothes outsiders where, if anything a bit more conservative than what teens wear in other towns. When they came of age it was probable that four of them would become slaves. Roberta tried to imagine which ones
Roberta thought back to her eighteenth birthday when her life became what she always dreamed it would be. After finishing her cake and ice cream her father said, "I have something for you." and dropped a brand new collar on the table in front of her.
"Please, put it on, master," Roberta said, trying to contain her excitement.
Her father put the collar around her neck and tightened the latches in the back. The tag in front had her father's name on it. When young slaves first become slaves they are considered the property of the head of household, usually the oldest uncollared, until they are transferred.
