"Sorry, Snooki: If you plan to head a few minutes north from Seaside to Asbury Park this summer, you may face some legal trouble for wearing your monokini on the boardwalk!\nPinterestFacebookPHOTO: \u00C3?\u00C2\u00A9 www.splashnews.comIn a seriously antiquated bit of legislation, the town of Asbury Park has a ban in place on wearing swimsuits on the boardwalk, which was first enacted in 1958. The law says, &amp;quot;No person clad in bathing attire shall be on the boardwalk or the public walks adjacent thereto,&amp;quot; according to ABC News, and while it&amp;#39;s been largely ignored in recent years, one former town council member has asked that the ban be strictly enforced once again, in an attempt to uphold the town&amp;#39;s image.\nLouise Murray, 74, told CBS News that she believes it&amp;#39;s time to get back to some good old-fashioned values--and put on a cover-up. &amp;quot;Do you really want to be sitting in a restaurant and seeing somebody come up half-dressed? We all can&amp;#39;t be Sports Illustrated and we all can&amp;#39;t be GQ&amp;#39;s,&amp;quot; Murray said. &amp;quot;I had my day, the window&amp;#39;s obviously closed, but even at my best day I never walked in a bar in a bathing suit.&amp;quot;\nViolators can face a fine of up to $2,000, 90 days in jail, and community service, but other members of the town council say they&amp;#39;ll make sure that doesnt happen, via CBS: &amp;quot;&amp;#39;Since it is a law in the books, that needs to be revisited,&amp;#39; City Manager Terry Reidy said. &amp;#39;We&amp;#39;re not going to start arresting them or throwing them off the boardwalk. I think it&amp;#39;s something we really just have to look at.&amp;#39; Councilman Kevin Sanders said it&amp;#39;s an archaic law that he&amp;#39;ll make sure won&amp;#39;t be enforced. &amp;#39;That&amp;#39;s additional man hours. With the state cutting back and the city cutting back, that raises taxes. So I&amp;#39;m gonna have people riding around on bikes looking, checking swimsuits? No,&amp;#39; Sanders said.&amp;quot;\nAs for Murray&amp;#39;s reasoning? &amp;quot;We&amp;#39;re going to end up like any other seedy boardwalk in some seashore town.&amp;quot; Yes, Snooki, JWoww &amp;amp; company, I&amp;#39;d consider that an official dig! What do you ladies think? Ridiculous law that needs to be repealed, stat, or does this woman have a case?
