The NAC is talking state authorities misusing the law, and doesn't mention convictions, just prosecution. Could the lawyer/author just be addressing Seattle and local authorities take on the "mud" in what is pertaining to her circumstance locally? Are we back to the interpretation of the state statute by the ignorant cop, or local prosecutor, which might vary, cause trouble and nobody is sure what might happen? You only truly know after court and several thousand dollars expenses. Defense expense might as well be a stiff fine, a fine even though a law wasn't broken.
I slipped on the pants. I could have just covered up, throwing them on my crotch, technically. I think that things would not have been a warning and so much nice, had I decided on the latter. It gets down to, "Do I want to provoke, open myself up to a hassle?"
There are people among us who still respect the law. I respect peace, freedom and justice, something that so much of law and its enforcement no longer understands. We are left with anxiety and fear. We don't have definition, or clear consequence, or if we are breaking a law or not. It might as well be the kings men making things up as they go along with no input from the governed. Peace, freedom and justice is an illusion. Politicians, politicians in robes and police abuse of power are the reality. These ills go further than just the issue of simply not wearing clothing.
