Minneapolis has repealed an anti-topless ordinance after police used drones to film nude sunbathers, claiming they were investigating reports about drinking and drugs, according to reports.

The Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Department voted Wednesday to roll back a ban on “showing female breasts” in city parks. Full nudity, however, is still prohibited.

The ordinance came into sharp focus after residents became aware that the Golden Valley Police Department used a drone to catch beachgoers breaking the law by going topless or nude at Twin Lake, WCCO 4 reported. The beach, known for being “hidden,” attracted visitors with the understanding that many freely bare their bodies.

People are still required to wear something below the waist... I think there are bicycle events where people are 100% naked...

Using drone to catch topless women...Waste of police resource?

Evidence is required before making a determination.

Rules.

Is this like the case where a guy exposed himself and was going to fight the case with a lawyer until the judge sent it to Small Claims Court?

I only live a few miles from there. Why was I not informed? I could have done research for the group. You know, for science and stuff.

Use the non police/social workers to investigate and take pictures.

Better yet, just forget it!

Probably a lot of DOM’s would volunteer to do this dangerous job.

Some 18 year old horn dogs would probably stand in line and pay to take the pics.

Somalis love living among post-modern, idiot leftists in the West. Its like living in some giant candy store, where after you take everything you want for free, you get to punch the owner in the face.

They used to have nude bicycle races in Montpelier, VT. I had the GREAT misfortune to be stuck at a light when they pedaled by...if these Minnesota women are ANYTHING like the nude bicyclists in Vermont; you do NOT want pictures!!!

FWIW, I’ve been to a few places where topless is OK. You NEVER see a good looking woman going topless there. It’s always a collection of baggy, saggy women who can’t get looked at any other way. Imagine Whoopie Goldberg and Sally Struthers had ugly sisters.

Ah, priorities. Minneapolis thinks breeders should keep their nasty kids at home so that the parks can be given over to sexual exhibitionism by adults.

Parents who allow their children to go to the parks can just get used to the idea that early sexualization of children and casual nudity is now the default position of the city.

The exhibitionists will always test the limits. It's just a matter of time before the topless sunbathers will start hanging out around the soccer fields and baseball diamonds.

You’re probably right. But you need to check, just to be sure. :>)
