Les 34.000 policiers de New-York ont récemment reçu une note, dans laquelle on leur rappelle de ne pas arrêter une femme qui se promènerait sans t-shirt. Mieux, les agents auront pour mission de "disperser la foule et adopter des mesures coercitives" si trop de curieux importunent ces dames."

Defendants were arrested for violating Penal Law § 245.01 (exposure of a person) when they bared "that portion of the breast which is below the top of the areola" in a Rochester public park.
The memo reminds the officers that there are still times when they can detain, arrest or give tickets to women or men for being indecent in public — “if the actions of any individual rise to the level of a lewd act (e.g. masturbation, simulated sexual act), regardless of whether the individual is clothed above their waist,” or if the person is naked below the waist “and is not entertaining or performing in a play, exhibition, show or entertainment.”
