FL woman takes topless law to court

Topless Protest Against Law Banning Toplessness Legal



A woman, who was arrested when she exposed her breasts to protest laws
that bar women from publicly going bare breasted, can demonstrate
topless as part of a legitimate political protest, an appeals court has
ruled.

The
7th Judicial Circuit Court of Appeals on Oct. 5 upheld a Volusia County
judge's opinion that Elizabeth Book could protest while topless on the
city's Main Street Bridge.

Book, of Ormond Beach, was arrested
by Daytona Beach police and fined $253 during Bike Week in March 2004.
The city said she violated an ordinance banning public nudity that was
passed in 2002 to curb indecency at special events.

Book's
attorney, Lawrence G. Walters, said the latest ruling is a victory for
his client, who set out to test laws against nudity because she
believes they are unfairly applied to women.
