Just one example, feel free to come up with more…
Last October a guy was busted for being naked in his own home. It was 5:30 in the morning, and he must not have thought anyone was outside the window to see him while he made coffee. It was an interesting story but I didn’t follow up on it at the time.
Well he was convicted of indecent exposure, and while he escaped without serious consequences it could have been much worse. Like a year in jail, $20K fine, and lifetime sex-offender registry worse. He’s appealing the conviction.
Anyway, it occurred to me the other day that Archimedes would have been handcuffed, jailed, convicted, and forced to register as a sex offender for running down the street naked, shouting; “Eureka! I have found it!” If they didn’t believe that Eric Williamson was just making coffee in his own kitchen, I doubt the court would have accepted the joy of scientific discovery as an explanation.
So if I understand this correctly, Eric is being fined because someone else looked through Eric’s window and saw him naked… WTF people!
Yeah, I saw this on Inside Edition. Apparently, the guy didn’t see a need to close the curtains at that time of day.
It’s great to see your tax dollars at work, isn’t it?
I was amused to see that his attorney’s name was Dick Young. But that probably just goes to show that it’s high time I grew up…
