Ma’am I have to issue you a ticket, “Writes down phone number”
Looks like one of the toughest days of his job

I agree with the ticket. Nudity should be encouraged
Looks more like 2027 to me
that curve. omg
What’s her @
This poor woman has gotten so many tickets on Reddit.
And smiling while doing it… slut shaming is for perverts.
I know this is repost but does anyone have an original source. I’d love to get this printed as an art piece for my house and would like to do it the right way
Look! It has pockets!
And I bet that he not only enjoyed the view but took an extra long time to write the ticket.
How much you wanna bet he gave her his digits?

(Commenters: I think this ol’lady is in the situation due to looks. And I think the looking for looks in y’all hasn’t gone away nor grown. Something to think of the next time before making up something about somone’s looks.)
In some countries it’s still like that.
I found this from an earlier post of this picture:
> A little insight on this pic.
> It was recently featured on a New York Times article by Alyssa J. Rubin entitled “From Bikinis to Burkinis, Regulating What Women Wear”, so this maybe is the reason why it has acquired some traction on the internet (and why it landed here, eventually)
> It belongs to Ullstein Bild, a German archive. Thus, very likely the girl pictured is a German tourist. **The “policeman” is actually a “Vigile Urbano”, an officer of the so called “Polizia Municipale”, or city police.** This is basically the police force mostly used for low-security/local/traffic issues. He’s wearing the tipical summer suit, which was “strategically” white, to better withstand the heat. It must be stated that in 1957 Italy was still a relatively poor and less developed country facing its reconstruction after the WW2, so AC was not even in the picture yet. And summers in the Emilia Romagna region tend to be particularly hot.
> Thing is, when asked about that particular period, veteran folks tend to exclude that bikini wearing was actually an issue. A then-lifeguard actually stated his perplexity about this picture, as he recalls bikinis were widely spread among girls (and tolerated, as Rimini was a very open and progressive city, for the strict catholic Italy standards of the time). Thus, it’s highly probable that the lady was actually being fined for a different matter, and not for wearing a bikini.
Whoever’s grandma this is, she bad as hell.
He brings the tickets, but she brings the fine
That’s an obvious class F misdemeanor: too FINE for the beach.
Female
Body
Inspector
Who is he issuing the ticket for? I don’t think she is carrying a wallet.
Does this bikini have pockets?
Are those pockets on her bikini??
“Sorry ma’am, but your giving me and all the other men around here huge elections.”
He’s wearing loose fitting pants. Guess why?
She kinda looks like Ana de Armas
Historians refer to this incident as “Bikini A toll”
“Do you know how fast you were nippling? I mean, you can’t operate a vehicle in this areola. Actually…I meant to say….boobs.”
We can’t have all these hard dicks at the beach!!
This officer is acting hella sus. She was a baddie.
Republicans if they had their way. Might even ask if shes on her period
How would he know if she just ripped up the ticket? She probably doesn’t have any ID on her so she could have easily given a fake name.
“Your body is giving me sexual thoughts and urges, so clearly you have committed a crime and shall receive a citation. I hope you see what you have done wrong.”
Lets remember how short a time ago that was.
Old post but she is worth looking at
Is he giving her a ticket or writing down his number, because she is ffffffffiiiinnee.
“Excuse me, ma’am, but you’ve got ‘fine’ written all over you.”
