DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Several women will be going topless at a rally in Daytona Beach Sunday, and an agreement with the city will keep cops from arresting them.
Elizabeth Book has been squabbling with the city over her right to go topless during Bike Week.An attorney for Book and a city attorney signed a memorandum of understanding last month that allows her to be topless at the rally on the last day of the rally.The agreement stipulates that she and other topless female protesters must use a flatbed truck covered with a six-foot tarp to shield them from people who don't want to see their bare breasts.The agreement also prohibits city police officers from arresting the women.Book has said it is unfair that only men are allowed to go topless in public places and that women are fined for flashing their breasts at events like Bike Week, the annual gathering of hundreds of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts.
