No, this is no assumption:  it comes straight from MPD, who is making no
secret of the fact that they are now warning *women*.

I personally spoke with MPD today.  MPD is now engaged in the
"educational" aspect of ordinance enforcement.  Officers are approaching
women who they judge are in violation, they are explaining their
understanding of the ordinance, and they are telling women to "cover
up".

If someone refuses to "cover up," or if MPD has to speak to the same
person more than once, they CAN be arrested.  Not written a ticket, but
ARRESTED.

Again, this information comes directly from MPD.  There is no assumption
or rumor involved.

So, you lose your bet.  No, I didn't speak with Chief Weaver, but I did
speak to the representative I was directed to when I called.  Good
enough for me, but then maybe you think there's a conspiracy within MPD
to give out false information to those they serve.
