Should it be legal for women to be topless in public?

[Gustaf]

I voted yes simply beacuse I find the idea of a topless woman getting arrested so ridiculous. I guess it could be bad taste, but a lot of the young men here are probably convinenetly over-looking the fact that even if it WAS legal, not many women, especially not hot ones, would do it. It would mostly be middle-aged fat German nudists on vacations and that sort of thing. So I don't think many people would be disturbed.

All laws has to balance the potential damage to victims with potential damage to perpetrators, innocenntly accused, and so on. In this case I think the balance is pretty heavy on one side. If someone gets shocked by seeing someone naked that doesn't really out-weigh all the ways this could be abused.

What potential 'abuse' are you talking about?

I don't know, stealing someone's clothes maybe? Or let's say there is a break-in and you're in the shower and you chase someone nude (not likely to happen, I know...). Should that be a criminal offence? It just seems, well...silly.
