Indecent Exposure Laws are Indecent

Tommi Avicolli-Meccabyline‚ Nov. 14‚ 2007

Indecent exposure is one of those “crimes” that leaves me scratching my head in bewilderment. What’s so indecent about “indecent exposure?”

Nolo.com, a source for all things legal, defines it in the following way: “Revealing one’s genitals under circumstances likely to offend others. Exposure is indecent under the law whenever a reasonable person would or should know that his act may be seen by others--for example, in a public place or through an open window--and that it is likely to cause affront or alarm.”
