Yesterday, I was approached by an RCMP member at my home because I was sunbathing topless. I was told I could be charged criminally.
The fact is that in 2000, the BC Supreme Court granted women in BC the right to be topless not only in their backyards but in public places like parks and beaches.
When I tried to speak to someone in authority at the detachment about this issue, the woman at the front desk refused to let me talk to the Officer in Charge of the detachment or anyone in authority.
My dad was an RCMP member for 30 years and I have spent a lot of time around cops and RCMP detachments. This is not how things are done in the real world.
I would like to remind the RCMP in Prince George and School District 57 that sunbathing topless is legal in BC. I believe the school phoned the RCMP and filed a complaint to harass me because I am complaining about noise at 2 a.m. and parental behavior at the school.
This community is really living in the dark ages. I am surprised women are allowed to drive. Make sure you don't do it topless, girls. Our bare boobs are a real threat to society.
