In the state of New York it is legal for a woman to go topless anywhere that a man can go topless, except if she’s selling something. It has been since 1992, after the NY Court of Appeals ruling in People v. Santorelli.
Holly Van Voast has been going around New York City topless.

Van Voast appears as her mustachioed alter ego “Harvey Van Toast” taking pictures and video of herself, other people, and herself while taking pictures and video of other people.

| Yes, that is Bill Cosby in the background. |
And sometimes other people video her.

She seems to be interested in the attention, and seems to consider toplessness as a possible route to fame or notoriety or something.
Moira Johnston just appears.
She’s promoting awareness of the law.
Yay! Go ladies.
Holly Van Voast was arrested and went to court last fall for her topless appearances. While in court she removed her jacket, exposing her bare breasts.
She says about the incident that “not much” happened.

Moira Johnston was taken into police custody and detained for a short time.
But it’s legal and the police can’t really stop a woman from being topless.
She talks about it in part of this video.
A few years back another woman was arrested in New York for being topless. She was released 12 hours later, sued the city and settled out of court for $29,000.
Yeah! Ya gotta hit ‘em where it counts.
