Paris allows women wearing trousers? (7)
lukasz11: Women who want to dress like men, must obtain the permission of the police and provide medical justification for such a step - so says the official existing law in Paris. Recipe from 1799 was rediscovered by Maryvonne Blondin senator.
Prohibition on wearing pants, except for special occasion, introduced in Paris in 1799, just after the French Revolution. Nearly a hundred years later, in 1892, city authorities have modified slightly to the right. Women can walk around in pants, provided that the "hold the reins of a horse." In 1909 provision was once again changed. Women were given more freedom, provided that "go on bicycle, or hold his wheel."
In subsequent decades, the law fell into disuse. In the face of rapid changes in the field of gender, few people saw the trousers as an attack on morality. In 1969, the Paris city council has asked to withdraw the provision. The head of law enforcement, however, refused and stated that "it is unwise to change the records," because in the unforeseeable future, fashion can change.
In 2010 the city council again asked the police to cancel the law, but was again disposed of. The police said that it's "Legal Archaeology" and do not have time to deal with it.

Dammit. Sorry about the double pointless quote.
Paris police were being asked to change a lot of things in the late '60s, as I recall. But it is interesting that such a law might still be on the books. It could raise issues of "selective enforcement" when compared to other, more recent laws regarding how women dress in public. How can you arrest one for wearing a hajib or burqa but not arrest the other for wearing pants, if both are against the law?

Discretion. Without it you could say that not following any law to the letter is justification for not following any laws at all.

Don't you think that the City-Council has that kind of power,since it is the Legislative,which the Police are not?
