Montana lawmaker moves to classify yoga pants as 'indecent exposure' - Twitchin Kitten - 02-12-2015
OMG what an uptight asshole. No wonder the republicans are looked upon as such! I wonder how many more of these dinosaurs are out there?
This country is so uptight on nudity.
The last two paragraphs are interesting regarding Montana's indecent exposure laws. LOL that guy should spend a day in NYC! He'd be in church pronto praying for our souls.
Montana lawmaker moves to classify yoga pants as 'indecent exposure' <-- click but the full story is below
A Montana lawmaker is seeking to strengthen the state's indecent exposure law, stopping just short of his wish to outlaw yoga pants.
Rep. David Moore on Tuesday introduced House Bill 365 in the House Judiciary Committee in response to a group of naked bicyclists who rolled through Missoula in August.
The proposal would expand indecent exposure law to include any nipple exposure, including men's, and any garment that "gives the appearance or simulates" a person's buttocks, genitals, pelvic area or female nipple.
The Republican from Missoula said tight-fitting beige clothing could be considered indecent exposure under his proposal.
"Yoga pants should be illegal in public anyway," Moore said after the hearing.
Leggings are a wardrobe staple for all fashionable New York women, not just the likes of Miley and models
Moore said he wouldn't have a problem with people being arrested for wearing provocative clothing but that he'd trust law enforcement officials to use their discretion. He couldn't be sure whether police would act on that provision or if Montana residents would challenge it.
"I don't have a crystal ball," Moore said.
Moore and Walt Hill, a retired professor in Missoula, initiated the drafting of HB 365 after the Bare as you Dare bicycle event outraged some residents last summer. Fearing that denying organizers an event permit would breach free speech, city officials allowed participants, many of them completely nude, to ride through downtown Missoula on Aug. 17, 2014.
"I want Montana to be known as a decent state where people can live within the security of laws and protect their children and associates from degrading and indecent practices," Hill said Tuesday in support of the measure. "I believe this bill is written preserving that reputation."
In 1991, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Barnes v. Glen Theatre Inc. that state prohibitions on public nudity are constitutional given that nudity in itself is not an expression. Bare as you Dare organizers call the event a celebration of body image and bicyclists' right to use public roads.
Rep. Virginia Court, D-Billings, said she is concerned that the provision prohibiting garments showing the outline or appearance of a woman's nipple unfairly targets women. "I think you are kind of being a little prejudiced against women," Court said.
Currently, a person convicted of indecent exposure three times could be sentenced to life in jail and up to $10,000. In an effort to promote enforcement of the law, Moore said, the bill lessens that sentencing to not more than five years in jail and $5,000.
A first offense for violating Montana's indecent exposure law carries a fine of no more than $500 and six months in jail. A second offense carries up to $1,000 or one year in jail. Those punishments are unchanged in Moore's bill.

Yoga pants aren't bad by themselves, but when they wear a size or 2 too small and show everything with a huge nasty camel toe around children... it's a bit much. By which I'm thinking of the damn hispanics around here. I swear, they do wear them so small and tight, with no panties, they may as well be nude.

I don't care if a 300 pound woman is stuffing herself into them. The fact someone wants to ban clothing because he gets a goddamn boner and can't control himself is just fucking wrong.

Biker, did you see the last two paragraphs?

6 months jail for indecent exposure? We aren't talking about some pervert showing his wang to little kids. Fucking yoga pants. Christ the morons in this country...
I've been to Montana. Very pretty. I'm sure idiots like this are a minority. But he convinced enough people to elect him. If they support this shit, they can just make their own country and fucking leave.

How about the 3x's conviction and you're in jail for life? FUCKING LIFE for indecent exposure. But he lessened it for yoga pants to 5 years and $5K fines. Asshole.

WHAT
A
DICK
This guy must have been potty trained at gunpoint!!!!!
I suppose he thinks the stirrup pants of the late 50's through the 60's are indecent too?
Guess next he'll try to mandate 1920's style swimwear.
