If you use binoculars to gaze on exposed tail in Arizona, you face lifetime registration as a sex offender!

Suppose that the "comet" tail is exposed on purpose. Couldn't it be argued that the "comet" was actually wanting to be gazed upon?

The comet was discovered by a Japanese amateur astronomer, Tetuo Kudo

Kudos to Kudo
