Just when you thought cops couldn't make any more unwise decisions than they already do... (better?)

I for one am going to make my coffee naked tomorrow morning. Hopefully my roommates won't be up yet.

There is some examples of Virginia Court throwing out other cases like this because the law couldn't prove he was trying to be indecent. It also has more details of the case.

I don't think they got much of case and it will either be tossed in the first court or in the appeals process. The law really has to work to get these type of cases thru the court with the judges siding on their behalf. I don't see that happening especially given the time the incident occurred and what the man was doing at the time isn't considered obscene unless your into screwing hot coffee pots.

Only in America

the police = epic fucking fail

In more eloquent terms though, no, there was no cause whatsoever for his incarceration

I am also noticing that it is only males that get reported about this sort of thing. Do women not accidentally get seen by the public from their windows or do people just not care if they see a woman's goodies?

If I were a judge hearing a case like this, I'd laugh at the lady and have the case thrown out.

I read about this story on sankaku complex earlier today.It still makes me cry inside, knowing that such a case can actually be seriously considered. Hopefully this case is quickly thrown out of court because if this woman wins then the world has become a slightly sadder place.

Seattle Cops used to closed down strip joints because their own police officers inside the club were offended by the indencey of women in the club. I heard they stopped doing that after the community rallied against them.

wait. 5 cops with Tasers to his face come to arrest him one of which calls him a pervert? Borderline police brutality? Yeah, this guy has a grocery list of counter suits.

that is like closing down a restaurant where you don't like the food or shutting down a movie theater because you were offended by cursing in an R-rated movie?

I think this is the only unanimous poll I've ever seen in my entire time here on the Escapist...
