BS. No cites, most of these are fictions.

Fictions or wild interpretations.

In my home town years ago, the city enacted an ordinance against having sex “in a public place, or a private place in view of a public place”. That one got some laughs because of how the words could be interpreted, but the intent seems clear enough. Florence Oregon.

Meanwhile, some things folks just take for granted are not in law at all. Not too many years ago in Eugene Oregon there were some yoots making trouble downtown. One time they decided to all gather around the storefronts wearing mud (and nothing else). The cops hauled them in but when it came time to quote a chapter & verse for charges they couldn't find one in city or county code or state statutes. There was (and far as I know it remains so) no law against public nudity. The cops had to let them go.

I remember a couple years ago there was a segment on O’Reilly where he made a lot of noise over another person (somewhere close to Portland) who had been exploiting the same absence of legislation. Being a some time Oregonian who thinks he knows everything, I thought he came off real idiotic in his rant because he clearly had no idea what that person was doing was not against the law - and as we know in the sphere of morals O’Reilly has no legitimate claim to superiority!
