Did I say 30 days? I meant 90 days. Geez, what a travesty... and there are actually people here who would defend this! Amazing...

It's illegal to jaywalk too, but cops, believe it or not, don't actually ticket every jaywalker that they see. It's illegal to drive 1 mile over the speed limit, but again, that doesn't mean that everyone who drives one mile over the limit should be busted.

These things didn't used to be so "accepted". At one time people really did get tickets for jaywalking.

You'll have to forgive me if I'm one of the people who would rather not see public nudity become just as accepted.

Apparently he's not a fan of "Whip 'em out Wednesdays".

Apparently, he never heard, or forgot the other mantra...

"Walk it off...DEEK!"

Why do I get the feeling this "prosecutor" likes "b-b-b-b-b-boys"?

tom leykis instructs his female students to flash men on the streets and freeways.

I don't agree. At no time, did cops ever give tickets to every single jaywalker they saw. At no time were cops consistently giving tickets for going 1 mile over the speed limit. Cops and prosecutors have ALWAYS had to exercise discretion. To say that it always hasn't been such is disingenuous. The idea that just because a crime is on the books means that it always has to be prosecuted is clearly wrong and not followed by any law enforcement agency in the country.

Apparently, you feel that a 90-day sentence for this crime is warranted and isn't a complete waste of time and money that could better be spent elsewhere. I would venture to say that most of us here don't.

Why must they work so hard to discourage this activity?

I think you get the crime you accept. It is a crime. It is prosecutable. It is a violation of public decency. It isn't a waste of time any more than prosecuting pot or porn.

I would venture to say that most of us here don't.

I would venture to say you don't speak for as many as you think.

What does this mean?

It is a crime. It is prosecutable.

As I mentioned before, not all crimes that are committed are prosecuted. Cops and prosecutors have discretion to decide which crimes they will go after. You don't deny this, do you?

It is a violation of public decency. It isn't a waste of time any more than prosecuting pot or porn.

Is it more of a waste of time than prosecuting jaywalkers or those who drive one mile over the speed limit? I notice that as soon as I mentioned prosecutorial discretion, you made the leap from jaywalking and speeding to pot and porn. What happened to jaywalking? Incidentally, most porn in this country is legal.

I would venture to say you don't speak for as many as you think.

You may be right, but if the comments that have been posted on this thread are any indication, I doubt it it...

#2 Might also point out that approximately 1/2 of people with a Mental Illness are Women

So wouldn't that mean the other half are men?

That's very good. I like that "relative moralist." Nice.

I meant it's too late... you've already reproduced. Given your childish ranting, I shudder at the thought.

Seriously, you're talking police state, I'm talking about public decency and long-standing, American-traditional values. Get a grip.

Wait a minute, I know the answer to this one, emm uh, carry the 2... (I hate word problems, they always confuse me)
Could you word it a different way?  I know I can answer this.

Kandy Kane made a statement through her attorneys: "I thought he liked it in there."

LOL! Perhaps at first.
