Thank you for the memories. I was a cop in that county back then, though not in that city (West Palm Beach.) Miss Gloria Gonzalez started that whole enterprise, and did quite well at that. I remember the wringing of hands as the county struggled with the wording of that ordinance, too.
Back in the late '80's there was a rash of dangerous 'Hotdog Vendor Girls' selling dogs along the roadways of Southern Florida. They wore bikini's and the better looking (and more skimpily clad) ones seemed to do better business so the race was on and there were some absolutely spectacular women hocking their wares....which did cause an accident or three from people who couldn't look away. So for our 'safety' the local Government set out to ban them. What a farce! The proposed law ended up being thousands of words and many, many pages as they struggled to describe just how much a bikini needed to cover to be legal. I remember one section that went on and on....'the curvature of the buttock at a radius of xxx' cotangent to'....trying to quantify in legalese and in the end...after many weeks, they gave up and just banned all from the main thoroughfares to the side roads where they could sell as they pleased. And...they DID please!
