City Cracks Down On Naked Lawn Mowing

ASHLAND, Ore. (AP) Want to streak through downtown or drop your pants in the park? You could be slapped with a $250 fine.

City councilors in the southern Oregon town have passed an anti-nudity ordinance, prohibiting genital exposure downtown and in public parks.

Some residents opposed the ordinance, saying it infringes on personal freedom.

"I prefer that we not be legislating morality," said resident Paul Copeland. "I have a problem with the proposed language of the ordinance. If your neighbor is mowing his lawn naked or doing objectionable things, I don't believe the police are the right way to resolve your dispute."

He suggested making nudity legal if it were a political or artistic expression.

But Mayor Alan DeBoer said he was wholeheartedly in favor of the fully-clad plan.

"I have had many citizens say they cannot believe that someone can run through town with no clothes on," DeBoer said.

The new ordinance will make it easier for police to ask a nude person to cover up. Failure to do so could result in a $250 fine.

"prohibiting genital exposure downtown and in public parks"

I don't think the problem was people mowing their lawns naked. More likely the perverts having free for all orgies in the park behind the bushes. For some reason these deviants love city parks.

You mean it's such a huge deal to wear a friggin bikini when mowing your lawn? Geez, I feel naked without a shirt (though swimming is not a prob) and rarely wear shorts outside. Note that it said "genital nudity" - no problem with topless lawnmowing

You should wear steel toed boots when using a lawn mower....the rest is optional
