Summary
An attorney argued before the Minnesota Supreme Court that indecent exposure could include showing off body parts not typically associated with sexuality, specifically citing the case of Eloisa Rubi Plancarte's conviction for exposing her breasts at a gas station. The court deliberated on whether the indecent exposure law is applied equally and if it violates constitutional guarantees of equal protection, as well as whether female breasts should be considered "private parts" under the statute.
