Battleboro in Vermont has quickly moved to ban public nudity after townspeople started to take their relaxed laws seriously and gad about naked.

Brattleboro began flirting with a nudity ban last summer after a group of teens started hanging around a downtown parking lot naked.

Last week, the town council decided it had seen enough.

“People have a reasonable expectation that when they are going out, they’re not going to run into any nude people,” said board member Dick DeGray, who wrote the ordinance.

Next month, Brattleboro will hold a public hearing on whether the ordinance should be made permanent. The ordinance defines nudity as the showing of genitalia, buttocks or female breasts; a provision allows breast-feeding.
