* Terri Sue Webb "more naked activity in Eugene. Several arrests and release without charge, numerous encounters with police. My first naked bike rides. Participation in anarchist "Festival of Resistance" activities and organisation, often topfree, sometimes naked. It became clear that Eugene police will not interfere with topfreedom--this is not against the law. Went all over the place topfree, kicked out of some business establishments. Went top-free to city council meeting on proposed prostitution ordinance, was told I could stay and speak if I put a shirt on, why must I wear a shirt? "Legislature" was the reply. I simply went ahead and voiced my opinion--mayor and others were already present, then departed. During part of this time I was employed as a live-in caregiver for mentally handicapped at state-sponsored Moon Meadow Farm. I put in my resignation after a few months as I could not justify my employment as an agent of human repression. Shortly thereafter I was barred from further contact with clients due to partial nudity (topfreedom) in the home." Spring - Summer 2000 [source: Terri Webb]

* Terri Sue Webb "Arrest (on a number of criminal charges including a felony charge of attempted burglary and "public indecency". This later charge was justified by the falsified report of one of Eugene's finest who said that I spread my legs and mastrubated during the arrest. I was not able to see the report until several weeks later, and was quite shocked. In the meantime I had been judged 'incompetent to proceed w/ trial' and transported to Oregon State hospital. This was due primarily to my reluctance, and sometimes refusal to wear clothes while in jail. I'm sure the arresting officer's report helped as well! the decision to send me to the hospital was made in my absence, i was not allowed into the courtroom, the judge merely entered the side room where I was being held, asked me one question and it was over. I was in OSH 6 months + a month of surrounding jail time. September 2000. [source: Terri Webb, more info in stopsegregation post "uniforms"]
