Man Arrested for Being Naked in his Own Home

Reread the op’s CAPITALIZED portion. Also listen more carefully to the video link. It clearly states that the woman cut through his property.

That is more fucked up than any of us could put into words.

Seriously.

if she calls the cops, and signs the complaint, the police have to arrest him…right?

I think they have their hands tied behind their back in that scenario.

But, naked.

I am just imagining going to an Austrian cop and complaining that I saw a naked man in his own home while trespassing on his property.

That might leads to some interesting reactions, to say the least.

$2000 fine and year in jail is a little excessive.

WONT SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

This is scary. I have gone into my kitchen naked plenty of times in the early morning.

If I was the guy I would be looking to bring her up on charges. There has to be some law being broken if you are on someone’s property looking in their window which she is admitting to.

Next time, he should still walk around naked, but be sure to set the timer for his lawn sprinklers to go on at just before 5:30 am.

These idiots should be removed from our planet.

What the HELL is wrong with the police? I would’ve fined the woman for wasting peoples time and money.

Simple, the rights of woman and child come first, the rights of man are a distant third.

The woman broke no law by being on his property without a warning.
However, the police could not have entered the man’s home without his consent. The observation by a second party of a crime being committed inside the home of a third party does not constitute reasonable suspicion because the third party has an expectation of privacy inside his home.
It’s similar to that man being arrested for disturbing the peace on his own property after the police had gained entry into his house based on a phone conversation.

Can you sue someone for voyeurism? Maybe she should get charges for being a peeping tom and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

There is an expectation of privacy within your own home, but this applies to the act of a crime being committed. Looking through someone’s open window is not illegal in Virginia.
The woman didn’t break any Virginia law. She would have had to be warned verbally or by a sign in order to be trespassing.

How retarded. The only thing wrong in that article is the woman taking a 7 year old child for a “walk” at 5:30 am whilst looking in other peoples’ windows, that’s just a bit suspicious to me.

Double standards make me sick.[/quote]

EX-fucking-ACTLY!

That poor dude is already going to have to pony up some cash just to defend himself from these ridiculous charges that bitch made.

He didn’t “want to be seen” he was just too lazy to put pants on…I think everyone’s been there in the morning.

Mebbe, but that is not what I am talking about.

There is something seriously wrong if someone like that is not laughed out off the police station.

I find it very offensive as well. Speaking as someone who walks naked around the house, I think we ought to be able to have some expectation of privacy within our own homes. How dare someone look into someone elses windows and then complain about what they see.

Purely in the interests of investigating legal hypocrisy, I volunteer to stand in your back yard, observe you being naked in your own home (for as long as it takes) and then try and get you arrested for it :slight_smile:
