2012 May 16. Arrest in New York City. We received a report that this afternoon a topfree woman was arrested in New York: Moira Johnston, whose previous activities are presented here. The police threatened her, threw her in jail for an hour, and released her with no charges. The excuse: there were children in the vicinity.
New York's law recognizes the assumption that children will be harmed by seeing breasts to be false. Clearly that doesn't stop the police from self-righteously threatening and arresting women when they know or ought to know that their harassment goes against the law. Many NYC police behave responsibly about this issue. Regrettably, many don't.
