So when I was looking up nudity laws in WalCo...

this dude was maybe providing a public service - his genitals were broken out from an std, and he wanted to be an example for the public, esp. teens !

I was able to do a little bit of searching in regards to Board of County Commissioners vs. Dexterhouse, and found the original text of the case. It appears that Hillsborough County, FL (Tampa) enacted an ordinance to protect the "morals" of the citizenry there, from the exposure of "freewilling" nudity on public beaches. Later today when I have some time I will look over the case to post more...it sounds interesting.

So when I was looking up nudity laws in WalCo, I found this exemption to the laws against public nudity:

(b) When the conduct of being nude can not legally prohibited by this article (i) because it constitutes a part of a bona fide live communication, demonstration or performance by such person wherein such nudity is expressive conduct incidental to and necessary for the conveyance or communication of a genuine messageor public expression and is not a guise of pretense utilized to exploit nudity for profit or commercial gain (see for instance Board of County Commissioners vs. Dexterhouse, 348 So. 2d 916(Fla. 2nd DCA 1977)) and as such is protected by the United States or Florida Constitution or (ii) because it is otherwise protected by the United States or Florida Constitution.


Can anyone think of an example where this may come in handy?

So basically...if we do a true to life reinactment of native Florida "indians" and Spanish invaders on Grayton, at the soiree, We are in the clear with the nude law thing....awsome...im in!

No reinactments for me--as long as I don't drink champagne. :shock: ;-)

So in plain language, does this mean you can not have your analversary on the beach?
