I should add that I'm only curious.

i don't think so, you'd have to be flaunting your "nakedness" to people on purpose, you can't be arrested because the can't mind their own business |

Well, if you had a picture window on a busy boulevard, yes, you'd have an unreasonable expectation of privacy. You would have to take due care. |

We do still have some rights and being naked in your own house in one of them.. just as long as you're not shaking that thing at your neighbors or some little kid playing outside. In other words don't be a perv and keep your curtains closed or you will be bent over your cot in a jail cell getting your freak on with Bubba..
Peace Keep it Real |

If your front door was open and only a glass door was closed and they could see you standing in front of it, or if you stood in front of a window naked for others to see you, then you might could be charged with exhibition.
I had a case of this in my court, a man stood at his front door naked to "show" himself to ones coming by....he was fined, and I talked to him about seeking therapy. |

Ignore all those people who say it is fine. The law is clear on this matter. You are free to wander naked in your own home, but if someone outside your home gets such an eyefull they are offended by you then you could be prosecuted. In practice, someone with half a brain could pass this off as a mistake and prob avoid prosecution but I wouldnt make a habit of getting your winter veg too near the windows!! |

That really depends on how fat and grossley ugly you are, and if you fit both of these, then you ought to be banged up, out of sight.

Are you deliberately being an exhibitionist, or are
you trying to be seen by the police...... |

I think NOT, unless you are an exhibitionist displaying yourself to people outside. |

Don`t think so |

Depends, if you're just wandering around nakedafter having a shower or because that's your bag, then no. If you stand in front of the window with some nipple tassles swinging your scholong about for everyone to see then yes. |

If you're a woman naked in her own house and a man sees, the man can be arrested for being a peeping tom.

The law here says you cannot expose yourself in or in view or a public place. So if your sitting on your couch, minding your own business, and "enjoying your own company," you can be arrested if the people at the stoplight out front can see you "roughing up your suspect." |

I don't think so unless you did it on purpose. They could probably get charged with peeping. |

If you are just going about your business and not making a scene then I doubt you would be charged. Personally, I'd be afraid to try and press charges because the first thing the cops would say is "why were you looking in the window in the first place?" Of course I'm naked in my home 99% of the time, so I'd never take offense to seeing someone else anyway. |

As far as I am aware, this is not a crime of strict liability in England, so if you were prosecuted, the Crown would have not only to prove that you had done the act, but that you had a guilty motive in doing so. - in other words, if you are going about your normal activities, naked, in your home, you cannot be prosecuted.
It is illegal, and a summary offence, for any person "wilfully, openly, lewdly and obscenely to expose his person with intent to insult any female". (Vagrancy Act 1824, s 4; Town Police Clauses Act 1847 s 28). Therefore you would have to be standing in your window area or sunbathing naked in your front garden in view of the world before the long arm of the Law could grasp your short arm.
Incidentally, the Town Police Clauses Act also makes it illegal to leave a bucket unattended on the pavement between the hours of 16.00 and 08.00. |

Not unless you are actually standing in front of a window exposing yourself deliberately. |

No I do not believe so... However you might be able to press "Peeping Tom" charges on the individual staring in your window. |

The law states (UK) that if it causes offence to a passer by then you can be prosecuted. |
