What about public property, though? And did anyone watch the video? I thought the use of force and the Tasering of the nude individual in question was completely excessive and out of bounds... the cops were clearly on some kind of power-trip.
Yeah, I found it quite disturbing and depressing actually.

Yeah, that penis was certainly tiny. I can see why you'd be upset.

Oh, ha ha.
I was waiting for this wise crack.
I don't think that poor guy deserved to be physically abused for being naked.

He was breaking the law and refused to stop.
So put yourself in the cops' place. How would you have handled that?
Remember that they tried very hard to ask nicely, then tried very hard to subdue the guy without the taser, then finally resorted to the taser when the guy became combative.

Yeah...Whether or not he was "legally" allowed to be naked or not the cops gave him plenty of time to comply.
He was of course within his rights to tell them to fuck off, which he did. 
Resilient dude, it took a lot of current to get him chilled out. I kept waiting for him to started pissing everywhere.

He wasn't being abused for being naked. He was being a ass and a fool. If you want to fight the cops than arm yourself. Otherwise what do you expect. He resisted their requests. I have no pity for the fool.

I think that would be cool....but our society is so sexualized that you couldn't go out naked without people making a big deal about it. I personally wouldn't want all that attention, especially chicks, cause holy shit there are a lot of perverted people.... if everyone was doin' it though...that'd be cool

I think if a cop sees a naked person in public and he or she is not disturbing anyone, they don't have to arrest that person. After all, who is going to complain that the cop is not doing their job?

You are very naive. It's a public event. It would get back to their supervisors that they didn't do their job.
If nothing else, some uptight mother would call 911 to complain about her children being exposed to the horrors of nudity and the police did nothing about it.
What world do you live in cuz you don't live in the same one I'm in.

I suppose being naked at a public event here in East Texas might be a big deal. I know a nudist couple from California who say it's not even a crime there unless the cop wants to be a dick, and then it's just a ticket. They were actually naked in a public parade in California and no cops even hassled them.

It all depends on the local but if it's illegal then the cop has to do his job or he can lose it. I'm no fan of the cops but I understand how things work.
I didn't watch the whole vid but from the little I saw that fool was asking for it. And he got it. What a suprise

Why even bring rights into this? It's really a matter of courtesy.
Do you think people want to see your nude body and all your reproductive organs?
Personally, I'm fine either way. But I do like the warmth :P

People SHOULD have the right to expose their organs just like they have the right to expose their face. In some Muslim countries, it's obscene for women to expose their face. That's just as fucked up.
One the other hand, you have the right to look the other way if a woman's face or a guy's tiny penis offends you.
Unfortunately, legal and illegal has little to do with right and wrong.

It would have been amazing if the rest of the crowd just shucked off their clothes in a demonstration of solidarity and civil disobedience with the original guy. Sorta like this demonstration of solidarity:
Sasquatch Music Festival 2009 - Guy Starts A Dance Party
Besides, nudity can even be educational:

Presumably this is what officers in LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition) do? I guess they have to charge an individual smoking weed if there are any witnesses around, though.

I don't see why nudity is illegal. It's odd that people should be ashamed of what they look like. Being forced to wear clothes might be away to ignore the fact that humans are animals just like everything else and (this is where death anxiety comes in).
