.: Meta :.
An alternate definition of this, from what I have observed in the lobby and elevators, is: “The preferred attire for women visiting the Harris County Criminal Justice Center.”
It’s the “or” that bothers me. That makes it sound like topless or bottomless—but not both—would qualify as semi-nude, and I don’t think that’s the intent.
Just two questions . . .
All of the references appear to explicitly or implicitly refer to humans (giving an appropriate nod to gender references), except for the anus.
Does this leave room for nonhuman anuses to go bare?
Is “anus” included simply as a metaphor to indicate that fully-clothed people with bad attitudes will now be considered semi-nude?
If it’s not used as a metaphor and people are forced to cover their anuses, could the resultant muffling of some voices be considered an unlawful restriction of free speech?
And, by the way, as the definition appears to refer to only a single buttock or breast, what happened to equal protection? (Note: I purposely am not raising this issue with regard to genitalia.)
Forgive me. In my confusion, I lost count.
Ambiguity allows law enforcement and the city to prosecute based on their attitudes, and not on letter of the law. Obviously community standards are enforced in matters like these, but wording a law so objectively means that one person will get charged for wearing a shear shirt while another won’t. It’s poor law writing.
If I opaquely cover two buttocks, I’ve covered more than a human buttock, so I’m not semi-nude, right?
