For stripes in doped antiferromagnets, we find that the ratio of spin and charge correlation lenghts, $\xi_{s}/\xi_{c}$, provide a sharp criterion for determining the dominant form of disorder in the system. If stripes disorder is controlled by topological defects then $\xi_{s}/\xi_{c}\lesssim 1$. In contast, if stripes correlations are disordered primarily by non-topological elastic deformations (i.e., a Bragg-Glass type of disorder) then $1<\xi _{s}/\xi_{c}\lesssim 4$ is expected. Therefore, the observation of $\xi _{s}/\xi_{c}\approx 4$ in $(LaNd)_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_{4}$ and $\xi_{s}/\xi _{c}\approx 3$ in $La_{2/3}Sr_{1/3}NiO_{4}$ invariably implies that the stripes are in a Bragg glass type state, and topological defects are much less relevant than commonly assumed. Expected spectral properties are discussed. Thus, we establish the basis for any theoretical analysis of the experimentally obsereved glassy state in these material.
