Nude Lawn Mowing

Interesting experience from another egroup concerning backyard nudity in Logan, Utah. Anyone have an opinion or experience related to this incident? Anyone else mow the lawn nude? I have.

"A number of years ago I was mowing my back lawn in the nude. My back yard has a 6 foot wood fence and vegetation. A neighbor riding his lawn mower over a mound saw me and called the cops. When the police arrived they asked why I was nude and I replied I was a nudist and I will be nude in my home and privacy fenced back yard. To not be able to do so destroys my privacy and property rights. They told me that nudity in the house is ok but questioned outside. The decision of whether to file any charges or not would be the decision of the county attorney. The story made the front page of the Logan Herald Journal and radio the next day including locating my address to within a few hundred feet. I contacted the Naturist Society, AANR and an attorney. Nothing ever came of it and I still mow my back lawn nude but with a little more caution and even more vegetation."

Aside from the behavior of the neighbor in calling the cops, the most disturbing part of the story is that it made the front page of the newspaper. How pathetic that they don't have more serious issues to grapple with.
