Arrested for toplessness in NYC. It is legal but the cops still think they are protecting kids from the big bad ladies who show their breasts. I think they are trying to protect purient interest so the strip clubs don't lose money.

Opinions?

 Years ago on the Paul Harvey radio program, a 90yr male wanted a young girl arrested for being topless up on a Coney Island beach.... The young lady was only "5yrs old"!!.

 I thought that when someone was arrested that the Officer had to enter section of the law being violated in the form ### of the public decency ordinance.
Unfortunately, Police Officers will not learn until someone files legal suite against the city they work for.

 From my experience here in Las Vegas, Nevada no one will clearly answer the issue of what is and is not allowed in terms of nudity. Last year I wrote a letter to the Sheriff (Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department), Clark County District Attorney, and the State Attorney General asking about nudity on one's own property, including the front yard, back yard, and house, and driving nude.

So far, I've heard from the Sheriff's General Counsel and Attorney General. The General Counsel stated "The Sheriff is statutorily prohibited to practice law..." while the Attorney General which "represents State agencies, boards, and commissions, and by statute " is "unable to provide legal advice or assistance to private citizens" deferred the "private matter" to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department or Clark County District Attorney, which I've received no reply after nearly five months since I sent my letter dated August 27, 2011.

In both cases I was also advised I might wish to consult an attorney regarding my rights and obligations.

Doesn't it seem strange two different attorneys could not or would not answer my questions?

It seems law enforcement and the courts puposely strive to keep citizens uninformed of our legal rights and protections under the law. And, from conversations (not on this subject) with an attorney friend of mine the law is NOT an exact science since judges rule, at least at times, based upon their own personal biases versus an accurate reading of the law.

I do agree it will take a court case, or several over a wide range of jurisdictions, to settle the issue of nudist rights.

 We are told ignorance of the law is no excuse. Then we have lawyers that are like a gang extorting money from us to explain what the law is. In New York it is a case of state court handing down a ruling that woman had the right to be bare breasted any ware a man could. I do not know if the state legislature passed a law to reflect that decision.
