Keep your shirt on

Man, I bet this is a law that the cops prefer to enforce when the perps are female:
For only the third time in five years, Easton [Maryland] police have ticketed someone for going topless in public. Sean Cephus, 18, was cited June 4 when police say he was spotted without a shirt on South Street near Hanson Street. He was also cited for failing to obey a lawful order to stop for police.

A town ordinance adopted in 1974 forbids anyone from going topless in public buildings or on public streets and sidewalks. Possible penalties are a fine of up to $100 and up to 10 days in jail.
The article goes on to say that the police consider shirtless people a "public nuisance." Being a fan of this show, I'm inclined to agree. Shirtlessness seems to be a major cause of crime in this country.
