If you go outside nude and stay in your own yard can you be arrested?

A woman I know said she went to her mail box at the end of her driveway nude and nobody cared. She told me that you can go nude on your own property. Was she wright or just lucky nobody complained

If you come into my yard, you'll be arrested (or at least carefully scanned).

I would say she's just lucky. Indecent exposure means being in view of the general public, regardless of whether you are on your own property or not.

05/17/2007 I just found out today either Connecticut or Vermont (I don't remember which) has no law on indecent exposure. So if you live there, I guess your safe.


One Sexy Jeep Girl
Nobody complained. She can be cited for indecent exposure.

she was just lucky that she was not arrested for what is called indecent exposure the same law that applies if you decide to use the bathroom in public does not matter if it is on your own property or not legally you would be charged


Living In Korea
Yes.

Even though a person is in their own yard, they could be in trouble for public exposure.

She was lucky nobody complained.

Yes you could get arrested. The charge is called "indecent exposure", darn shame about that arrest. Mom should have known better.

nobody complained, if a kid had saw her she could get in huge trouble

In some places, such behavior can get you locked up for psychological evaluation.

Being arrested seems better.

She was prbaly hott. I bet if it was an old fat guy he would have been arrested in 5 min


I'mHisStaRR
yes! don't do it....that going to be a hard one to explain.

If you can be seen by the public, it is illegal and you can be arrested.

She is wrong. It's called indecient exposure. People might have thought she was off of her medication.

It's just that nobody saw, or complained. depending on what she looked like, I WOULD'NT complain either!
Ya can go nekked wherever you want on your own property, so long's it's not visible from a public, or neighboring area. High fences, or trees that obscure, etc. are O.K. So long's it's private and hidden from public view.

It is considered to be public indecency, and is illegal. She is probably lucky that no one reported her, she could have been arrested if she had been seen by a child.

Goodness, I hope I don't ever see any of my neighbors walking to their mailbox in the nude. That would not be good.

She is checking to see if you're dumb enough to do it yourself.
Of course its illegal.
Unless of course her name is Heidi Klumm. That is perfectly legal.


Damien T
It's illegal.

In public yes, in private no.

Nobody complained.

There was a case I saw reported on some news magazine show:

The neighbors were at home, shades closed except for a small sliver of a view, and they were engaging in marital "relations."

A man across the street used a zoom function video camera focused on the sliver of view and filmed them as reflected in their vanity mirror.

THEN he called the cops, turned over the film, filed a complaint of indecency saying that his kids might have seen it - and the couple was arrested and they LOST THE CASE!

Just goes to show you - not all justice is just.

If she does it again - and you don't want kids seeing her - test her theory.

Peace.
