Councilman Devon Reid was reviewing city codes that may be unconstitutional, and his goal was to amend any that seem inequitable or have the potential to create unnecessary interactions with law enforcement. “I wasn’t looking for this, in particular,” Reid said. “I was looking for examples that would uphold folks’ bodily autonomy. And this happened to be one that focused on issues of equality.”

Topless in Evanston is much better than being Brainless in Springfield.
Except in The People’s Republik of Evanston *most* of the population IS “brainless”, lol…
