Nobody in our group has been ticketed, but I've heard a number of stories about other swimmers (including someone who spent the weekend in jail in their bathing suit) to be concerned....this particular article generated a lot of negative publicity, so it could be that they've decided to back off. I personally haven't seen them around much lately, and I swim several times a week at the beach....BrooklynMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567289968902715232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4225204891504095230.post-65161550751252515272009-09-27T17:02:10.487-04:002009-09-27T17:02:10.487-04:00This is totally ridiculous!
