It's only a matter of time before someone so accused, with the aid of a very persuasive barrister, argues that "The Defendant was merely exercising his personal right to self-gratification. That the fact that there were onlookers, nay, voyeurs, in the immediate proximity, should have no bearing on the Defendant's human right to pleasure himself accordingly.
Furthermore M'lud, the Defendant wishes to claim damages for intrusion of privacy from the aforementioned voyeurs, one of whom, on such an occassion, took a personal photograph of the Defendant, rampant erectus, without the Defendant's consent, and proceeded to make the picture freely available to all and sundry on the medium known as the Internet.
Quite clearly, my Defendant, after the ridicule and embarrassment of having his private parts ridiculed by the public, has suffered from considerable low self-esteem, and has been unable to maintain his, ahem, rigidity for such purpose of self-gratification since the affair.
M'Lud : "Ah, yes, a terrible thing indeed. I hereby acquit the accused of any wrong-doing, apart from "littering" in a public place, which carries a maximum sentence of 160 hours of masturbation in the public community."Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Strange but true, the legal definition of rampant erectus is if it is greater than the angle of the Mull of Kintyre."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
