There have always been topless women on French beaches. Does this represent a trend towards the misuse of authority?

Edit: Interesting that the BBC link it to a different story about a group of women stepping outside cultural norms about going topless. I would think it was more a story about the police taking action regarding something which has been a cultural norm.

Hopefully not, though there does seem to be a trend toward "conservatism.

Frankly, I am surprised that the police officers were not better informed about the local regulations. I would have expected more professionalism. Oh well, at least the topless women were not shot seven times in the back.

France looks conservative compared to Germany and even moreso to Spain.

I *personally* think that the freedom of topless bathing should be allowed.
I can understand the controversy but nature is nature and people were all born naked.

It is interesting that Spain is more casual about it than France, given that Spain is predominantly Catholic and France less so. Just goes to show, don’t judge a country by its religion alone.

Scandinavian countries are also pretty casual about public nudity.

The same rules should apply for both men and women on public beaches.
