[Demovictory9]

10. i don't see how her outfit violates the rules

[Bev54]

28. I don't see why the have "rules" in such detail.

[Probatim]

35. At least we don't have Sharia law in this country.

Thanks be to gawd for that.

(Yes, this is sarcasm.)

[Bev54]

37. Sounds like they are trying hard for an equivalent.

[Probatim]

38. Have been for years and years.

And getting closer every day.

The USSC said Maine has to use taxpayer dollars for religious schools. The wall separating church and state is getting hacked at.

[Bettie]

76. Wonder if they have a stock of Burkas

to cover those women they disapprove of.

[Probatim]

77. If your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out.

I swear I read that somewhere.

[sir pball]

75. To criminalize young Black males, duh.

I mean, it's as obvious to me as the nose on my face…"wear[ing] pants, trousers…which…intentionally exposes undergarments". She's just bycatch, a dolphin in their tuna net.

Of course, with the "cleft of the buttocks" criteria, Joe The Plumber is just as illegal as their targets, but I somehow doubt they'd prosecute that one.

[NickB79]

21. Cleft of buttocks?!?!?! 🤣🤣🤣

How many fat Bubba's got cited for their plumber cracks that day? Because I guarantee you, there were plenty in a place like Winfield, Louisiana.

[Celerity]

69. I have seen parts of bodies bursting out at Trump rallies that cannot be unseen. #scarred4lyfe

[Lucky Luciano]

30. Wow. Doubling down.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

72. "which is the proper venue to dispute any allegation"

Fuck those cops. The venue is proper if the victim of your Talibornagain bullshit says it’s the proper venue.

Maybe the pigs and the city council can fine her for improper venue. You know they want to.

[JanMichael]

2. They want all women to wear long light blue dresses & bonnets.

Maybe the cops were mad because they were burning up in 100°
temps and she wasn't, so this is just purely a fuck you move?

Or were they all a bunch of blond blue eyed nazi cops and the "perp" has brown eyes?

[BigmanPigman]

7. Maybe they were jealous that she could pull that look off

and they couldn't. Let's see wnat they look like. Maybe this is body shaming by the female police officers.

[LuckyCharms]

15. Agree. n/t

[rsdsharp]

3. Me thinks the female cops wanted to screw with her.

They want her to give up and pay the ticket, or take time off work to go to court. They will not show, and the ticket will be dismissed, but she will be inconvenienced.

My suggestion is to fight the ticket, but subpoena the “officer” who wrote it. Force her to be inconvenienced, and explain to the judge why she wrote an indecent exposure ticket to a woman wearing five times the amount of clothes of a typical female bathing suit.

[TheBlackAdder]

66. Wasn't there a court ruling where the police did not have to interpret or understand the law?

.

Understanding of what cleft of buttocks, pubic hairs and genitals are appear to not be in their pay grade.


And just because a bunch of people complain does not mean those in the crowd are correct.

.

[Haggard Celine]

4. I see women dressed like that around here all.the time.

Of course, we have beaches here, but she wasn't in a bikini, just regular clothes. Indecent exposure is such a bullshit charge. I can understand not wanting people to be having sex in public, but we shouldn't be concerned with what people wear. It's just not that important.

[Bev54]

26. I wouldn't look twice at the outfit, I find it tame compared to some I see.

They should come to some of the summer concerts I do security at, I was blown away at the "outfits" or lack of them.

[Haggard Celine]

32. Yeah, I suspect there are some

stodgy, backward people in that town. There’s nothing unusual about what she was wearing. That’s normal attire for a woman in the South during the summer. This looks personal to me.

[Bev54]

33. Yes it does, and I am doubtful the police were getting complaints about it either.

[ripcord]

5. It is the rips in the jeans that caused her the problems as it does violate the law as written

I have never understood buying pre-ripped jeans.

[PoliticAverse]

9. I was trying to figure out what the specific issue was and now that you point that out...

it does appear her underwear shows through the ripped portion of her pants.

"or skorts" - I learned a new word - skorts.

[Chellee]

24. She's wearing shorts.

A skort is a skirt that has a pair of shorts sewn inside it. So it looks like a skirt, but it gives you the coverage of a pair of shorts.

[Bev54]

31. Her underwear would not likely show where the rips are at all, unless she was wearing boxer type.

[cayugafalls]

44. The pockets might be showing, but not underwear...just saying.

[MerryBlooms]

59. Her underwear aren't showing. There is no indecency.

This is bullshit.

[MerryBlooms]

60. So, the statute in that town state no ripped attire?

[ripcord]

63. The law says no clothing that purposely shows undwear

[MerryBlooms]

65. Okay, but her underwear weren't visible.

I think it was abuse of power on the police part, and the gal cited will win. I have a pair of jeans I use for yard work, one pocket is starting to tear, under their ordenece, I could also be fined if the t-shirt I was wearing was not long enough that particular day. I hope they fined every guy with his butt crack hanging out, or his Harry gut hanging out. I find that in bad taste, but I doubt guys get fined for that fashion choice.

[dalton99a]

6. Her crime:

[DFW]

12. Otherwise known as:

“Walking upright while being female.”

Do cops in Louisiana take special courses on how to be obnoxious? When the next mass school shooting happens in Louisiana, the cops will arrive in the scene, armed to the teeth, and the first question they will ask is, “how many shooters are there, and are they modestly dressed?”

[Bev54]

27. Seems they definitely have sticks up their asses.

[DFW]

40. Railroad ties! n/t

[Demobrat]

46. OMG.

THAT is supposedly indecent? Those shorts with a bikini top wouldn’t get a second glance in CA.

Good grief.

[LiberalFighter]

8. I don't care for her appearance but it is not indecent exposure.

Again. Police need to be held accountable.

1) If someone is ticketed and the ticket is an abuse of power there need to be penalties against the police department. In this case, the police department would be required to pay all costs of the person ticketed. Attorney fees, lost wages, etc.

2) A public database showing the disciplinary actions taken against officers. Punitive actions against police officers violating the rights of citizens. Each step would result in more serious action.

3) To ensure judges don't abuse this and keep officers out of harm they would also be subject to action if found guilty of abuse themselves.

[halfulglas]

25. Wait a minute. We can't hold police accountable for shooting an

innocent woman paramedic in her own home in the middle of the night awoken by a no knock raid and you want to hold an officer accountable for writing a ticket for indecent exposure? You can't have young things showing their bodies and tempting men who can't control themselves. This young woman has to be held accountable for the bad things any passing man might have no matter how hot the weather is.

[vercetti2021]

11. Wow shes fucking beautiful

Maybe the female cops were a bit envious? Still I wear short shorts like this too and well it's nice when its 100+ fucking degrees. Fuck the police

[LuckyCharms]

13. Christ almighty.

She looks great and is dressed for the weather.

I'll tell you what...she said woman cops? Probably just asserting their "authority" because she looks attractive in those clothes.

She's covered up, and she has the figure to dress like that without calling undue attention to herself. And even if she didn't have the figure for it...so what? She's covered up.

Such bullshit. Every day, the bullshit gets deeper.

Do they allow bathing suits on a public beach?

[TomSlick]

14. Not particularly tasteful, in my old guy opinion, but hardly indecent.

I also don't see a violation of the bizarre local ordinance.

[LoisB]

16. I hope those cops never visit a beach or park in Southern California.

[LuckyCharms]

19. Right?

In my state, women can walk around completely topless if they desire to.

I've never personally seen a woman walking around topless, but it is not illegal.

I suppose if a particular business wanted to ban that on their premises, they could. But if a woman wants to walk down a public street topless, she legally can.

[LoisB]

54. Kudos to your state.

[Cha]

17. The Crime is the police giving her

a ticket for "indecent exposure".. she's exposed decently enough.

💙💛

[Solly Mack]

18. I don't see her butt crack or genitals or pubic hair or undergarments

and if people don't know the difference between a jean pocket and underwear then might I suggest they go to the store, grab a pair of jeans or jean shorts, head into the dressing room, drop trousers, and examine both the pockets of the jeans and their own undies. Keep looking until you can tell the difference between a jean pocket and your underwear. Don't come out of the dressing room until you do understand the difference.

And, btw, public parks with lakes and bayous as well as public pools are public places where people wear a lot less and butt crack is on display.

Are women expected to wear a burkini there?

[Bev54]

36. If they said they could see her underwear she should call bs and tell them she wasn't wearing any.

[questionseverything]

62. I think it's front pockets showing

[Bev54]

67. It really doesn't matter, they cannot see underwear through the tears in her shorts

it is all bs. Most women do not wear underwear that would be seen wear the tears are. So what exactly are they citing her for?

[questionseverything]

68. Lewd pockets? More like pocket envy, I suppose

[yonder]

20. She should wear the same outfit to court

with a swim suit bikini bottom and have the prosecution try to prove the difference.

[FoxNewsSucks]

22. She was just out of uniform.

No doubt an Aunt will take care of it.

Blessed be the fruit.

[world wide wally]

23. Ahem, ahem.

Isn't this the state with New Orleans in it?

[SunSeeker]

47. Last time I went to Mardi Gras in New Orleans....

I saw a guy in the French Quarter walking down the street wearing nothing but pantyhose, into which he had slipped 2 tennis balls to cover his front bits.

[rubbersole]

29. Repubs just need to save us all some time.

Last edited Thu Jun 23, 2022, 02:23 AM - Edit history (1)

Just get to the burqa mandates. This lady wasn't indecent.

[The Jungle 1]

34. How is this not Sharia law?

[brooklynite]

39. I guessing "Louisiana" has nothing to do with it...think about Mardi Gras...

Likely some small-town morals.

[littlemissmartypants]

41. Completely disingenuous citation.

It's clearly a citation aimed specifically at women meant to control and subjugate. Although it states, "any person" please share with me the instances that it would apply to anyone other than a female person. I'll wait.

She is righteously concerned and I hope she wins her battle. Because it's not just a battle against the power play by the cops.

It's a perfect opportunity to point out that women aren't here to be second class citizens under the control of an oppressive patriarchal society. No man will ever be in violation of this ordinance as it's written. When have you ever seen a man in a skort?

By raising the alarm she's educating the public and leading by example. Too many other women and girls in general, need to be made aware of their own oppressive situations and this is a perfect opportunity to do just that.

Just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so is evil and those cops saw exactly what they were looking for.

As a side note, mad respect for her being there with her ex-husband and current husband and having them both back her up. Not that she needed it.

Interesting post. Thanks for sharing this, demmiblue. ❤

[bringthePaine]

42. note: all of Louisiana's assholes are showing, so howzabout some goddam equal protection?🤨

[Joinfortmill]

43. Hope she wins and sues their asses

[Ferrets are Cool]

45. JFC This has gotten past rediculous.

I don't want to live in this world...their world.

[SunSeeker]

48. The Police Department is going to regret that idiotic citation.

She was not showing genitals. That was crazy. Those small town cops were drunk with power. They should have just let her go home and change if they were really getting "complaints." That would have solved the problem. But no, they had to be assholes.

Sounds like she is going to sue. Hope she gets some good money.

[VGNonly]

49. She's too old.

In Duck Dynasty they like them 13-15.

[rampartc]

50. in louisiana "indecent exposure" is a sex crime

gets her on the sex offender program, can't live near a school, might lose her children if she has any, must send out the postcards whenever she moves. and more.

good luck beating that up in winnsboro. and, this is small town louisiana. she will get off IF her father can call the judge and fix it, ptherwise if she fights too hard her life will be miserable.

[LeftInTX]

61. This is not a criminal citation. It's a $25 fine.

This is basically like "code compliance", "loud music" or "parking illegally" which is strictly municipal.

I don't agree with it, but she's not gonna be a sex offender

She is not being charged under Louisiana's law, which is a felony.

The town also outlaws sagging pants with the same penalty.

[GoodRaisin]

51. It must have been an awfully slow day for these police officers.

Had to be Republicans.

[Roy Rolling]

52. Winnfield

It’s next door to a for-profit prison. It’s just what you’d expect from their corporate citizens, so why not also the politicians who hire them?

[ZonkerHarris]

53. Laws like this are about punishing women for being sexual beings.

[Disaffected]

56. Guilty of questionable

taste IMO but not indecent exposure.

[Phoenix61]

58. I can't help but think there's a jealous female somewhere.

She said she was sitting with her ex-husband, her husband, and her two kids. Living in a small southern town myself I can just see her ex’s girlfriend getting her knickers in a twist and running to the cops. Talking trash about how she’s a mother and shouldn’t be dressed like that in front of her children…blah…blah…blah. I hope she sues the shit out of them.

[TheBlackAdder]

80. Jealous that 'their man' was looking at another more like.

[JI7]

64. It may have been about money . There are some people that just pay these tickets

or citations or whatever they are instead of fighting it and it probably brings in some needed money for the city .

Or maybe she had something which identified her politics in some way .

It is disappointing when it's other women that push this type of bs onto other women.

I would like to see if others have received the same thing and what they were wearing. Maybe they might come foward after seeing her do it .

I would also like to see what the police that gave this have to say .

[Emile]

70. I think the cops were jealous.

[867-5309.]

73. This was my first thought, too n/t

[alphafemale]

71. She was cited because she looked great

And people were et up with jealously.

[Ligyron]

74. A Citation? She should get an award instead.

For being both brave and gorgeous.

[highplainsdem]

78. There's nothing wrong with her outfit given the setting and especially the

weather. I agree with the people who suspect the female cops were jealous.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

79. I'M OFFENDED by the POLICE.

Maybe this is a case of small town cops where crimes reported by relatives of the chief LEO are pursued before crimes that actually matter. Maybe it's just that law enforcement pursues crimes where they feel less likely to get hurt or killed similar to how they appear to act in a state next door. My search indicates that Winnfield has 17 officers in the department. I infer that they don't work 7 days a week so maybe about 6 or 7 officers were on duty at that time. In view of the following data, it's good to know that Winnfield is taking seriously the danger to the community posed by shorts and t-shirts.

https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/la/winnfield/crime#description
With a crime rate of 42 per one thousand residents, Winnfield has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 24. Within Louisiana, more than 82% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Winnfield.

Separately, it is always interesting and important to compare a city's crime rate with those of similarly sized communities - a fair comparison as larger cities tend to have more crime. NeighborhoodScout has done just that. With a population of 4,153, Winnfield has a combined rate of violent and property crime that is very high compared to other places of similar population size. Regardless of whether Winnfield does well or poorly compared to all other cities and towns in the US of all sizes, compared to places with a similar population, it fares badly. Few other communities of this size have a crime rate as high as Winnfield.

Now let us turn to take a look at how Winnfield does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Winnfield.

For Winnfield, we found that the violent crime rate is one of the highest in the nation, across communities of all sizes (both large and small). Violent offenses tracked included rape, murder and non-negligent manslaughter, armed robbery, and aggravated assault, including assault with a deadly weapon. According to NeighborhoodScout's analysis of FBI reported crime data, your chance of becoming a victim of one of these crimes in Winnfield is one in 94.

81. A recent post to the Winnfield Police Dept's facebook page:

I’d like to report someone in my neighborhood wearing a crop top. I feel threatened.
