I caught this on the news last night and figured someone would have posted about it by now, but it appears not to be the case so I am posting it now.
This story is pretty outrageous, if you ask me. The man in question went downstairs, au naturel, at 5:30 in the morning, to make coffee. Some woman, CUTTING THROUGH HIS YARD with her 7 year old son in tow, saw him through a window. She called the police, who arrested him for indecent exposure because they thought “he wanted to be seen.” The man faces up to a $2000 fine and a year in jail
There is sooo much wrong with this scenario! Either there is a lot more to the story than appears in the video, or the police are simply insane. As is the woman reporting in the first place.
Seems to me, she should be charged with trespassing and voyeurism. Yes, perhaps the guy should have drawn the blinds or put on shorts, but hey, who thinks that clearly at 5:30 in the morning, particularly before the first cup of coffee? Certainly not I…
I might be a bit biased, since I am guilty of this more often than not. I hate wearing clothes when I don’t have to. I used to live in the middle of nowhere with no close neighbors and got pretty cavalier about it. I would have a life sentence by now, if they arrested for that around here. With added time for subjecting the neighbors to the extra flab around the middle…
Is it just me? Am I just not the typical woman when it comes to finding his arrest much more offensive than the thought of him naked IN HIS VERY OWN KITCHEN IN HIS VERY OWN HOUSE???
Until we have televisions that work both ways, and have one installed in every room, then its up to each of us to watch each other closely and report any aberrant behavior.
