    Police, however, told the station that while the department is aware of the complaints, officers cannot arrest the man since no crime has been committed.

    …the paragraph above says he is breaking in to locked private property and exposing himself, that seems like crimes. Can’t help but think this reporting is missing some key aspect of why this is an issue.

      I was ready to say “I’m glad they’re not arresting someone for nudity.” and the claims he’s fondling himself might be the residents trying to embellish it to paint him in a bad light, but there’s literally a picture of him (or someone) climbing into someone’s window. How is that not an open and shut case?

      Like it would be good for America to be less uptight when talking about nudity, but this isn’t the poster child of that.

      Sometimes it’s good to know there are solvable problems out there… however small.

        If it’s small, he can’t solve that problem. Many have tried, none have succeeded.

          I think you just need to revise which senses you’re using to assess it. It may only look like a couple of inches… but give it a sniff, and you’d swear it’s a foot!

      I prefer this kind of news.

    Cops are just lazy fucks. Call them about any crime and they can’t be bothered to even pretend to care anymore. I had a neighbor’s car theft recorded on HD with the thieve’s faces, plaates etc. The cops were so uninterested, took a week to collect the footage, and nothing came of it. Neighbor and I managed to track down the thief’s truck and called the cops with an address, they instead chewed us out and did nothing about the thieves

      That’s why your had to take matters into your own hands when Ray stole Jerry’s statue, right, Son of Dad?

      Cops won’t do it? I’ll do it myself, and there may be violence involved.
