That's not the core of Ezra's argument. What he was arguing was that the citation and the neighbor's action in reporting her to police were justified:
Quote:
Okay well let's break it down.
The neighbor sees indecent exposure.
So the neighbor phones the police to report indecent exposure taking place.
The police don't say "that's not indecent exposure" or "you should mind your own business" etc. They presumably say "thank you for letting us know, we'll dispatche an officer to check it out. And then the officer issues a citation for indecent exposure.
The neighbor was simply doing their civic duty to the best of their knowledge.

And, regarding the idea that we might tolerate women for going topless:
Quote:
I think it's absolutely egregious. The downfall of western society. Sodom and Gomorrah all over again.
You honestly took that seriously

It's been more active than I've seen a thread on WP for a while... the power of boobs!

I like the 'it was done on private property' argument, as if doing something outside in plain view, is the same as doing something within the privacy of ones own home.
Hmmm... maybe I should have sex in the garden and find out if that's illegal or not

Which brings up the claim that seeing something being done outside in plain view makes one a "busybody".
Adding also that name calling such as "liberal scum" is supposed to be a threat.
And "Where do you live so I can take pictures of you?” is supposed to be a threat.

That's generally an interesting question: where are the boundaries of public view?
What if you were having sex in your garden behind an opaque fence? A shrubbery? A fence with everything visible? In a greenhouse? In your living room with big, street-facing windows with lights on?

But what if I do that inside my house, with the curtains open and people across the street can see me? Should that be illegal?
I happen to have a huge window in the bathroom - should I be arrested if I use the toilet and forget to cover the window?
Joking aside, it would be interesting if someone with actual legal knowledge would chip in - can a legal activity become illegal if it's visible?

Yeah, as you can see I was thinking along the same lines.

I saw a COPS episode where a man was arrested for standing in front of his window while masturbating. Took place in an apartment complex. He had a second story apartment with a window facing the driveway.
