NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Public nudity is still a crime, but police in New Orleans say they'll let partiers walk on the wild side in the French Quarter this Mardi Gras. Last year, officers were overwhelmed when they tried to crack down on the female flashers, primarily women lifting their shirts for strings of beads. Police Superintendent Richard Pennington said that this year, officers are being instructed to make arrests only when bare breasts pose a threat to public safety.
