Yakima, Washington Bans Thong Underwear in “Cleavage of the Buttocks” Crackdown


Yakima bans thong underwear

Yakima Washington’s town council has approved changes to the town’s indecent exposure laws, banning thong underwear and see through clothing in public.

With the proliferation of coffee houses in the city employing service staff wearing provocative see through clothing and thong underwear, Yakima city council has altered it’s indecent exposure laws to combat the practice. The change was approved by the council and means that anyone in public wearing see-through clothing, a thong or a G-string “regardless of whether they are working at a coffee stand” could be prosecuted by law enforcement for a misdemeanor violation.

Let’s hope the rest of North America doesn’t adopt this extreme law. How would you feel if your city’s police force were the new “What Not to Wear” police? What’s next – police telling we can’t wear socks with sandals?

    This ruling could be abused, ridiculously. ok, so I don't want my kids to see all of those whale-tails, either, but ALL see-through clothing? What about clear raincoats? What about sheer tops with something opaque under them? Banning certain visible anatomy is one thing, but this law seems far too general, IMHO.

    So quick to rush to an opinion without reading the actual law? The artice is very vague and does not spell out the law well. I agree that if town people don’t like the risque coffee baristas then don’t go there. The problem is the coffee shops push the limits by intalling large windows. I think seeing a girls underwear is normally rare and innocently obscene. Seeing it daily in your face as you drive down a street, I could see the point of the complaining towns people. The law requires that buttocks be exposed. The same for see-through closthing that exposes the full buttock, pubic or female breast area.
