Sapulpa City Attorney says the new “topless” ruling will not affect local statutes

City Attorney David Widdoes says that the new “topless law” will have little effect on state and city ordinances and that complaints would be handled “on a case-by-case basis, as they’ve always been,” he told Sapulpa Times on Wednesday afternoon.

The controversial 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that has made it possible for women to be topless in public, has been a hot topic since it was passed last week. Tulsa’s response was initially to move forward with the change—as evidenced by a Topless Trail Skate in Tulsa on Sunday evening—but then changed tune when Attorney General Mike Hunter came forth and said that the law “does not change local and state laws in Oklahoma on the subject.”
