20 Jaw-Droppingly Weird Laws That Still Exist In America
6. New York - Women Can Be Topless, But Not Dress In Body Hugging Attire
Law's Origin: 2013
Risk of Prosecution: Old people stares
Taking a wild stab of a guess, these laws (the first and second are separated with a comma) were created at two very different times in New York's history. While the latter seems like it could have stimulated from the flirting is a misdemeanor days, the first concerning female nudity in public is actually quite recent. Women of the world, you may walk bare chested through Times Square right past a policeman if you desire.
Best law ever? Not really. Despite what some may call a double standard in society concerning gender equality, a topless woman walking down the street of a huge city sounds only a little more awkward than the dude who is constantly shirtless. For real, cover it up, bro!
