R&B singer Erykah Badu may be facing jail time for her hi-jinks, indecent exposure music video romp in Dealey Plaza on St. Patrick’s Day.

“They definitely did not get a permit,” Dallas Police Department Senior Corporal Janice Crowther said about the filming. “To shoot that video they would have had to get a special events permit from the events office and it would have had to specify what type of filming they were doing, what subjects they would use and any traffic control they would need.”
