Does anyone find it a tad ironic that this story is written by Wendy Cox? ;-)
Now if some guy was playing with himself in front of the window where it is real hard not to be seen, then he should be busted for it by a local "lewd behavior" law.
In other news, there's now hair on his palms....
OK so that suggests they were at best silhouettes. And they were in plain view.
The woman moved to another room for a better view, then called her husband. The pair watched Clark for up to 15 minutes from the privacy of their darkened bedroom.
She saw movement at the neighbor's house and say, "I wonder what he's doing!" "Hey, honey, let's hide out and watch this guy doing what we think he might be doing and maybe get aroused by it." Fifteen minutes, eh? Sounds suspicious.
The court found they took care to avoid being seen by Clark, peering out from underneath their partially lowered blinds. Later, the woman's husband fetched a pair of binoculars and a telescope.
TELESCOPE! Good grief! These folks have serious issues. If they're concerned this guy is watching their kids, pull the drapes.
The officer was able to see Clark from his belly up from the neighbor's bedroom and from the neck or shoulders up from the street level.
OK... they couldn't see him with a the naked eye, binoculars, or telescope from their home. And yet the cop goes closer to the guy's place, not where this couple was watching him from, shines a flashlight in his window and says, "You're under arrest because I can see your genitals Right. Clearly a criminal case worthy of the court's time!
This story, as reported with this article is surreal at best.
I seem to recall cases in the U.S. where if you can see, even by peering over a fence, or extra effort on your part, some sexual activity or nudity in a neighbor's home they're violating law at least in some jurisdictions. That's what I recall, anyway. I don't know if SCOTUS has said anything on the matter.
oh my!
Why does the guy who is accused get his named splashed all over the papers, but the weirdos watching him stay anonymous?
Don't worry, I'm not offended. Just couldn't resist the play on words with "Yank" as a description for Americans.
Hmmm... One of you is from Canada, and the other is from Minnesota.
Sooo...... who's the "YanKER" and who's the "YankEE" in this thing?
Hey, don't look at me. I'm down here in Texas. From this vantage point, BOTH of you qualify as YankEEs.
:-D
"The neighbours, who are identified only as Mr. and Mrs. S, called police."
The police should have told them to beat it.
The Cops just told the guy to get a hold of himself, pull himself together.
The only guy I ever saw masturbating standing at his window ended up being the man who was stalking me for a year. He was arrested and convicted on terroristic threating and stalking. Now a felon with a 5 year sentence in the pokey.
Masturbation,No he was spanking Hank!
Who are the "perverts" here?
Yeah, well you guys stole our hockey team because you couldn't play hockey and wanted to part of real America. BTW, we sold you the North Stars because they couldn't play hockey either.
BTW, unlike most damn yankees, I DO know what BBQ really is and, yep, its unavailable up here...except in my backyard.
LMAO!
why?
