First Hearing Scheduled for Nudist Activists Fighting Citations
The nudist activists who were part of a legitimate and
newsworthy political demonstration on the first day the San Francisco nudity
ban took effect are fighting the citations issued by the SFPD.
On Friday, February 1, 2013, four activists outside of San Francisco
City Hall, (three nude, one wearing sheer underpants), were handcuffed, thrown
in the back of a police van and taken to a nearby police substation and
unlawfully detained.
The activists were told they were under arrest. The nudity ban is a police code violation
that is written to result in a citation, however provides no provision for
arresting or otherwise detaining people, (until possibly after the third
offense). Ultimately the group of four
were issued citations and released.
Attorney Christina DiEdoardo, who represents some of the
nudist activists, said the false arrests amount to "kidnapping".
Come show your support for the nudist activists at the first
hearing regarding the citations on Friday, March 1 at 1:30pm, at the Hall of
Justice on Bryant Street, (courtroom number to be announced).
Following the hearing, there will be a news conference and
demonstration outside of the Hall of Justice.

And now the representative of SF, Nancy Pelosi, has said the most offensive and outrageous thing that I have ever heard a female politician in America say: we 'have standards'. Her definition of standards are every bit the same as Australian TV host David Koch's definition of standards as he displayed in his rant against breastfeeding three weeks ago. Pelosi needs to go or stop resign as the House Democrat leader.
