If you're topless in any part of British Columbia and a police officer tells you to put a shirt on, you don't have to obey.
That's the message a Kelowna woman wants to deliver to anyone who doesn't realize being topless in B.C. is legal.
Susan Rowbottom says she was at a local beach last week, sunbathing without a top on, when an RCMP officer approached her and told her to cover up. Rowbottom said she did as she was told at the time, though she was fairly certain it was legal for both men and women to be bare-chested in public.
