"Ten months ago, the Office of the Attorney General of Maryland accepted a request to issue an opinion on the legality of female bare-chestedness from the Worcester County State's Attorney", wrote Covington on her web page, which contains a NSFW photo.

For years, Arbin said, the beach patrol would just tell topless women, "Hey, you can't do that". But without an opinion from the attorney general, Arbin says they don't feel like they can tell women not to sunbathe topless.

Those guidelines were sent to employees in a memo from Ocean City Beach Patrol Capt.

Davis said she became a linguist, speaking Arabic and Farsi, and spent four years assigned to the NSA at Fort Meade, Maryland. Winner's lawyer told Martin that during Thursday's hearing, he planned to request that she be released on bond pending trial.

Covington argues that her request is covered under Maryland constitution's "absolute prohibition" of gender classification, which she says provides "no justification for treating genders differently when making or enforcing law, at the state or local level". They are "strongly opposed" to the idea put forth by the "top freedom" movement advocate identified by the Associated Press as Chelsea Covington, the television station said. "Personally, I don't think it is good for Ocean City or the families that wish to visit an All-American city, but we only enforce the laws and ordinances".

A hectic Thursday night in Ocean City included a drive-by shooting, a stabbing and the accidental discharge of a gun on the beach. However, the office has yet to give an opinion on the matter.

In the meantime, Ocean City Police said they'll address concerns on a case by case basis. This even includes if complaints are made by others on the beach. The post added officials will do "whatever is necessary" to prevent toplessness from happening on the beach or any public area in Ocean City.
