Officer “Smokey” Buchanan of the West Palm Beach Police Department measures the bathing suit of Betty Fringle in Palm Beach, Florida to ensure it conforms with regulations introduced by the beach censors, c. 1925 [1004 x 1410]
Rumor has it they had to pry that tape measure out of his hands and force him to retire at age 93.

Our school briefly did this with our skirts, but then they got in trouble for touching teenage girls legs, so they cut a piece of paper the correct length, stuck it to a clothes peg, and attached that to the base of our skirts to measure them. It was wild.

Is there a single despicable thing that agents of the state won’t do?
There isn’t a single good reason he shouldn’t have hung up his badge and quit the day they gave him the order to do this.

I’m guessing this was the guy who invented the “Im FBI – Federal Bikini Inspector” t-shirt
