BURIEN, Wash. -- City leaders in the small town of Burien have taken it upon themselves to crack down on the problem of body odor.
They passed a city ordinance that bans body odor in public places. Specifically, the rules prohibit obscene language and poor hygiene. The ordinance also says that people must wear enough clothing.
Offenders can be barred from public places for a year.
The American Civil Liberties Union called the ordinance unconstitutional because it appeared to single out homeless people.
