Read our privacy policy A woman who was cited for wearing shorts and a crop top at a music festival had her "indecent exposure" ticket dropped after one year of legal battle. Casey LaCaze-Lachney attended a festival in downtown Winnfield, Louisiana, with her family wearing a black cropped T-shirt and denim shorts when she was handed over a ticket by three women police officers. Ms LaCaze-Lachney emphasised in the video’s caption that she didn’t understand why she got ticketed, writing: ‘MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.” As the video went viral, the Winnfield police department on 15 June 2022 posted an explanation of the Winnfield city ordinance on Facebook without referring to Ms LaCaze-Lachney by name. In a TikTok video posted last month, Ms LaCaze-Lachney said while she considered this a "win" she still doesn't have an explanation as to why this happened to her.
