May it please the court”
In 1983, judge David Demers in Pinellas County was presiding over a trial of three exotic dancers charged with violating Pinellas' anti-nudity ordinance.
During the trial, a dancer bent over in front of the bench to show the judge that her outfit did not expose anything too anatomical.
Exotic dancers said that their shorts were too big to show what the undercover officers said they saw. The judge agreed with the dancers after they bent over.
