Court records indicate that Plancarte argued that she was improperly arrested because female breasts should not be considered "private parts" under Minnesota's indecent exposure law. Through her attorney, she asked the Supreme Court to consider whether her prosecution violated the Equal Protection Clause of the US Constitution because men are not charged when they walk around bare-chested.
