Would a Person Be Breaking The Law If They Walked Around Their Backyard Nude?

Question

Would It Be Indecent Exposure or Would It Be Okay Because It's On Their Private Property?

Answer 1

Depends if the average observer could see you.

If theres a 5 foot fence around you, and they can only see your head and part of your chest, i doubt anybody would even notice, much less be obliged to report you for indecent exposure.

Answer 2

If someone sees you, its illegal.  And the worst part is indecent exposure can end you up on some states Criminal Sexual Conduct list for 25 years where you have to report in every three months for the next 25 years.

Answer 3

do you have a fence?

Answer 4

It depends on where you live and what the local laws are. In most places, it is illegal if people can easily see you. If you have a high wall or something like that then it is usually not illegal, but of course some places are more conservative than others when it comes to this.

Answer 5

As long as no one sees. The city would be hard to hide in... http://jeordie.myminicity.com/ind

Answer 10

It depends- if the person is visible from public land or another private property, the city, county, municipality, or a person on the other private property could prosecute the nude individual.  There are no national laws against nudity, so it is up to state and local governments to designate locations for nude or partially-nude activity.  For example, there are many nude beaches in the United States, and in Eugene, Oregon, it is legal for women to appear topless in public.

Answer 11

It's their own land, they can do what they want!

Answer 12

yeah especially with fence anyway howcome ask

Answer 13

Being on your own property is not a defense to criminal conduct. If you can be viewed outside of your property by a normal observer, it is illegal. If you are observed by a minor, it could be a felony.

Answer 14

You can do anything within your property.  

Answer 15

If there is a chance that anyone outside your yard can see you, then its illegal.

Answer 16

I don't see how it'd be considered indecent exposure, being as it IS on your private property, but just to be safe I'd make sure your yard is equipped with fences tall enough to shield you from curious neighbours or passers-by.

Answer 17

it depends on what your neighbors would think of it if they saw that person doing that

Answer 18

its fine, as long as your neighbours dont see you cause wouldnt that be awkward?

Answer 19

It is your own property
