" NEW YORK (AP) -- A woman arrested for exposing her breasts has accepted a $29,000 settlement from the city, her lawyer said.

Jill Coccaro, 27, was arrested on a topless stroll two years ago, despite a 1992 state appeals court ruling that concluded women should have the same right as men to take off their shirts.

Coccaro, who now goes by the name Phoenix Feeley, remained in custody for 12 hours before she was told prosecutors were not going to pursue charges.

Her attorney, Jeffrey Rothman, told the Daily News that his client won the civil rights settlement from the city, which did not admit or deny wrongdoing.

"We hope the police learn a lesson and respect the rights of women to go topless," Rothman said.

Feeley told the New York Post that she was not treated well after her August 4, 2005, arrest in Manhattan's Lower East Side section. She claimed in an October lawsuit that a police officer yanked her out of a patrol car by her hair and police took her to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.

She told the newspaper she had gone bare-breasted after running the 2004 city marathon without police bothering her.

"I've always just felt that was something natural," Feeley said of going topless.
"I've kind of always done it out of practicality." "

Status: offline 		Some women and men should not go topless at anytime.  Since I am for equal protection under the law, I propose a tradeoff.  Women have to wear tops at the beach, but men are not allowed to wear speedos.  Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.

Status: offline 		unfortunately, women topless will not be considered obscene if guys didn't see a woman's exposed breasts as sexually provocative

Status: offline 		I consider women's breasts as beautiful and sexual as well but in no way find them "provocative".  Body parts are just there for the viewing unless you are invited to a game of "paint by numbers" with finger-paint-bubble-bath-that-dissolves-into-a-rainbow-of-colors.
