In Myrtle Beach, "Nearly Nude" is a Crime

In Myrtle Beach, police officers are no longer required to issue warnings to those who show more skin than is allowed by local laws.
Depending on the severity of the indecent exposure, (city attorney Tom) Ellenburg said, an officer could issue a warning, a ticket or arrest the offender.

"Some indecent exposure rises to the level of a felony," he said. "Some is mild and some is just shocking."

It's ridiculous that something as harmless as displaying a skin or a particular body part could actually be considered a felony. It just doesn't make sense.
