Imagine a group of wrinkled old white guys in a secure room in the state Capitol drafting this legislation.

How many of them have man breasts?

They’re called moobs

Will be littered with the loosened bumpers for miles and miles upon the pristine sands ….

get a life dudes, jeeziz

they're Nutz grabbers!

You can get away with it too if you are a Christo-Fascist.

Geez. Not even the Bible gets that granular. Again and again and again.

babies in public? Sometimes the nipple or areola is exposed, even accidentally.

Puritan hypocrites!

That so wrong... Every hick needs his nutz.

Sometimes indecent exposure is not that shocking.

Can't say how they'll enforce it, but afaik, topless beaches typically don't involve anyone exposing anything "lewdly".

If it comes to court, a lawyer could certainly argue that the law specifically includes that word to make it clear that non-lewd exposure is not a being banned.

"...where there is present another person or persons who are offended thereby is guilty of a misdemeanor."

If it's not done willfully, it's not a misdemeanor. Full stop,
If it's not done lewdly, it's not a misdemeanor. Full stop.

That's 100% unambiguous from the construction if the sentence.

The word "lewdly" itself is subject to interpretation, but there's doubt that it applies. There would have to get a separate provision or a "notwithstanding the foregoing" part in order to override the earlier restriction that it has to be willfully and lewdly.

any reasonably competent attorney should be able to argue that the statute doesn't apply to really anyone except flashers? People who are trying to shock and upset people with their nudity?

So toddlers that are 100% done with wearing their clothes, breastfeeding moms, people just sunbathing on the beach, wardrobe malfunctions, those people would be safe even if there was some deeply offended, overly pious, whack-a-doodle there calling down both the wrath of God, and the Idaho state legislature?

so in the end, they're not really banning being topless, they're banning certain actions and/or speech while topless.

trials may come down was she just walking or was she moving things suggestively.

or Momos, or a combination of the 2.

Also: where are these beaches?

would ever move to Idaho in the first place---

and if she was born there, she would have emigrated by now.

Seems like another of those "performative bills" to me...

I live near Coeur d’Alene and the beach at Coeur d’Alene Lake is a big tourist attraction. In Sandpoint the same is true for Lake Pend Oreille. You’re only surfing at either one with a wakeboat, but you can do other beach stuff.

Bare Bresticules and fake danglers were just corrupting the minds.

A Nampa city councilor named Sebastian Griffin went to Canyon County Pride one year (apparently so he'd have something to harrumph about at the next city council meeting) and saw a topless woman there. He tried to get the police to make her cover up or leave, and the cops told him what she was doing was legal.

It is illegal in Idaho to have a strip club that serves liquor…so, the one strip club up here has a bar next to it. Get juiced in the bar, go next door for the show.

We have big lakes and rivers here. There are many places along them that have beach-like sand that people use for such.

Bet there aren’t many days in the year this Texas gal would consider hot enough to be beach-worthy.

Geeze Someone someplace had a good time writing.that.

… my excited she-male snowman, wouldn’t it?

The Idaho legislative session lasts months when they could get everything necessary done in a week. So, once they pass the budget, the tax cut, the bill relaxing gun laws and the anti abortion bill they run out of anything to do and start writing bills like this.

eom

Could be a First Amendment violation, freedom of expression.

Otherwise, such is the authoritarian, fascist right.

Random people can just walk in, claim they are offended from the sex toy displays, and then get them shut down.

Big time. Parking lots will be full of Idaho license plates

driving your megamaga coal hauling truck on the "Beaches of Idaho" while flaunting your areolas and nipples?

Funny thing though, I was just talking to a friend the other day and mentioned that I was going to take 2 weeks off in order to drive from Tampa Fl to the topless beaches of Idaho but they only have 3.4 hours of summer and I couldn't figure out which month that might be in so......................scratch that bucket list itme.

My guess.

When they put in the state line between Idaho and Utah it ran through Mormon country, so we’ve always had Mormons here.

They are a sign of male insecurity for those who can't afford sports cars.

get a muffler.

But I will admit "beaches" aren't the first thing that came to mind for me regarding Idaho.
