clothes in public or you will be a registered sex offender for
the rest of your life. </span></div>

Whaaaat????<br>
<br>
How does being naked in public turn you into a sex offender??<br>
<br>
I don't know about american law, but in blighty, there's an offence
known as 'outraging public decency', and this can potentially be
used against naked people, but often isn't. The obligation to wear
clothes in public is more of a social norm than a legal thing. As it
should be.<br>
<br>
This flabbergasts me almost as much as the idea of 'school police'.<br>
<br>
America appears to be a deeply weird place.<br>
