Naked Coffee?
 

They start doing this in Mexico and I'm screwed...

Story here

Seriously WTF! In his own home. I make coffee naked every freaking morning. This seems screwy to me.

Whenever I read one of these outrageous stories where the full force of bureaucratic law is thrown against some poor schmuck I think, Who the fuck is calling this shit in??

What kind of busybody asshole feels the need to call the cops on such isolated behaviour? Who has the energy, time and will to engage the bureaucracy and prosecute something like this? Doesn't the complainant have work or chores or a to do list to accomplish that day? Wtf?

God help him if he's in one of those zero tolerance everyone's-an-Official-Sex-Offender States.

I bet if it had been a chick he wouldnt have complained


oops didnt read the article enuff to see it was a woman that complained

Apparently it was called in at 5:30 in the morning by an unidentified woman walking through the man's front yard with a 7-year-old boy in tow.

To me...making coffee in one's kitchen at that hour naked is more normal than walking through a stranger's front yard at 5:30 in the morning with a child.

Police: Others May Have Seen Naked Man in Window

The 2nd story makes it make a little more sense

And according to that one lawyer, if the exposure to others was unintentional, it's not illegal.

has that anonymous exhibitionist guy been around lately...

That just screams bullshit to me. If I want to be naked in my own house, that's my own choice. If you don't want to see me naked and you look INTO my window and see me naked, don't look into my fucking window!

If they are releasing all of this info, they need to release her name. It should be fair that if they are talking about him, then she should have to have cameras in her face.

yes.. the police asking everyone to come forward and handing out fliers is the BEST way to handle this :rolleyes:

this sounds like a witch hunt.

The easiest way to tell if this was on purpose? If he had a hardon at the time.

Seriously.

Presence or absense of wood makes or breaks the case.

I'd want to charge someone for peeping in my windows...

The guy was NEKKID???

DAMN THAT MAN... through his perverted ass in jail!!

If god wanted us to run around nekkid, we'd be born that way!!!

Well I don't know. I always have a raging hard on when making coffee, but I really like coffee.

Seriously though, yes. If he's excited about it that's one thing (no pun intended) if not there really not much of a case here, IMO.

If I'm with my kid and there's a naked man in his own house, my reaction is much different if he's sporting wood than not. Honestly, I'd call the cops without a second thought if he's hard and touching himself.

And I'll bet that's what happened here.

He's making coffee at 5:30am... could easily be morning wood. Unless he's standing in the window looking outside and masturbating, I wouldn't jump to any conclusions.

W....T....F. It was dawn. He'd just gotten up. In his home. Alone. And he was naked, making coffee, and someone on the street was looking INTO HIS HOME and saw him naked and got angry. This makes NO sense, whatsoever. If we're running on the crazy makes-no-sense legal train, they should be charged for looking into his home.

I'm loosing faith in humanity.

So what you're saying is that you've NEVER had morning sex or rubbed one out first thing?

I call shenanigans.

Huh? No. What I'm saying is that the logic of "he's hard, therefore I'm calling the cops" doesn't take into account the very real possibility that he's hard for some reason other than getting off on being seen. That's all. Just because he could have gotten off before going to make coffee doesn't mean he did.

Or am I misunderstanding your post?

I don't think you're misunderstanding, but when faced with a hard cock, the glaringly obvious assumption is that it's being done on purpose.

I'm not saying this guy was or wasn't trying to get his jollies in an inappropriate way, I'm just saying that, regardless of the way this article reads, if he's sporting wood, he no longer looks nearly as innocent or as victimized. If he's flacid, then I'm just as ready as the next idiot to rabble-rouse about Big Brother, but if he's hard, he's got some explaining to do, none of which I've seen yet.

What a fucking pig.

He could've at least thrown on a thong or something.

At 5:30 am I would put it off to morning wood personally.

The law here is very clear. It is up to you to make sure that nobody sees you naked. Anyone catching a glimpse through your window and you are held liable.

Clear != reasonable.

The woman is a peeping tom.

Then again, if a woman was peeping though my windows at me nude it wouldnt bother me and I wouldnt prosecute certainly.

Indecent exposure happens frequently in the area, and it's usually obvious but unreported. It's the type where guys are in their houses, but stand full frontal by the window. We've seen it twice. Didn't report it or anything, but the police blotter for the area is filled with incidents.

I'm a little unsure of the veracity of his story.

I tend to agree here. If he's hard and standing in his window looking out with an erection (am I reading that correctly?), I'd have a hard time believing a simple 'I was making coffee nude' argument.

But then we only have the article to go on so the hard, window, touching, rubbing dialog you all have going here is moot.

/derail.

I was totally thinking that....

The WaPo has more on the story today.

Bottomless sorrow

Do I get points for my clever link title? Because I'm here to win the internets. It's he said, she said. However, his roomates are not very fond of the man.

Since when have laws ever been reasonable?

Not to diverge from the issue at hand here, and trying to accurately assess "culpability" on the particular person(s) from the story, but this interpretation and maleablity of the law in order to have your right to complain about someone and successfully have them prosecuted over it can be achieved quite easily by anyone.

Honestly, everywhere in America, nearly anything at all in which more than one person congregates can be deemed as "public space", yet altogether the same, be someone else's private establishment.

There is an example of which I happen to know that is as ridiculous as this story, yet still, the person was charged: a man was drinking at the bar late, obviously hammered, yet someone complained, and he was issued with a "drunk in public" charge, even though he was in a privately-owned business. The rationale: someone on the street outside of the bar saw him acting raucously, peered through the window and identified him; and there was nothing to be done at all about it because when facing the verdict, he was told that "anything that affects the general public and their right to the assurance of their well-being, even if you are not within the general vicinity of it at the time (outside in open space), you are held responsible for it."

If the situation was reversed and it was a man outside (with or without a child) randomly walking through a stranger's yard at 5AM and saw a female naked, no matter what the state of her arousal, HE would be charged. End of story. I know it's pretty cliche to call double standard here, but JEEZ. And while I think the "drunk in public" story is also ridiculous, that doesn't necessarily set a legal precedent here. The drunk guy wasn't in is own home so legally the reference is irrelevant. Not saying it isn't a good comment, just saying it wouldn't do anything for you in court. Unless, I suppose, the guy's window overlooks a busy street and not his yard (which she seems to have been traipsing through in the first place)...

When I read stories like this I am always amazed that humans perceive nudity to be so offensive. It's almost as if we are suffering from some kind of collective insanity.

wait...something doesn't jive. Who has a kitchen window that comes down low enough to expose his privates while making coffee...and wasn't there a counter there for the coffee maker that would block any view of him? I've never seen a kitchen counter that only came up to your knees.

Well, you can see into my kitchen pretty easily through the floor-to-ceiling glass doors at one end of the house or through the windows on the sides of the house that my 3 year-old can see easily out of without standing on tiptoe. For that matter, my bedroom windows start about mid-thigh for me and I'm 6'-0". I don't have any problem imagining that there could be something similar here.

my kitchen has the normal windows over the sink, but right beside that are the floor to ceiling 6 foot wide sliding French doors that open out onto the patio/deck in the back.

Of course, with a house full of people, I rarely (actually never) strut about naked. Mostly, my naked dashes are from the bedroom to the bathroom, for those times when a towel is needed....

Shell, my apartment had to have the blinds pulled at all times because the window went all the way down to the floor.

Non-issue for me: my kitchen doesn't even have windows.

Agreed! That's bullshit.

They weren't in his yard. They were on a well established path on community property. His kitchen apparently overlooks this path. It's all in the article.
