Does he own a pitbull?

He’s leaving the curtains open so the little kids will see him?
I looked up to see who posted this...now I’m so confused. I assumed it would be The Magical Mischief Tour because it’s about police shenanigans, but it’s Chet99, but there are no pit bulls involved.
Don’t confuse me bro!
I’m going to bed now, this is too hard for me.
Since when is it illegal to walk to your truck with beer in hand? I am in deet ship.
Uh oh... Phallic jokes coming in 4...3..2..1...
I am ambivalent on this one — extremely so.
You of course can be nude in your own home, but it isn’t fair (nor proper) to be exposing yourself to obvious passerbys. If the windows are in the back and only available to be seen by those who REALLY are looking for it, then the heck with them. But if they face the street, it is the same as being on the lawn (IMHO).
Now, as far as the cops go, I am even more ambivalent (I know, “ambivalent” is an absolute and should not be modified). But it is a quandary: Broken window — what if someone broke in and we (the cops) drive away? Likewise, what if we find someone there? BUT!!! Once it was determined that he was the owner/proper resident in the house, the cops should have left, even if there was anything less than a felony warrant.
Other thoughts? This is one of those cases where I always enjoy and mull FReeper thinking.
Now that I see there were actually two independent reports, I believe the guy was in view.
As far as the cops walking in because of an "open door," I'd rather they just stayed out of my house.
Hmmm...peeping Thomasinas? That’s some weird stuff.
Excellent post, should cause some memorable comments. Like “If you come over here and get up on this stool by this window, you can see him, officer! (Justin Wilson)
It is OK to make coffee naked, just not bacon.
OK- was he naked, or asleep with his pants on?
This whole thing sounds like my whole life working to help stop abuse and neglect—
Somebody does something, but the facts change every time you get another story from another character.
Somebody is shocked, or outraged, or thinks the behavior is risky, but other folks don’t think it’s that big a deal.
Nobody was really hurt, but the incident falls into a general category of events that can be hurtful.
Intervention causes about as much (and sometimes more) alarm and distress as the original incident.
The whole environment is so altered by the confusion of the original story, that “truth” is almost unimportant after a while. Who knows what the women who reported the incident really saw? Who knows what the guy really was thinking? I don’t even want to hazard a guess about whether the guy really was in the carport or whether this is just a trivial accident grown in the telling.
To a professional, questions arise as to whether the guy in the house is cognitively whole. Perhaps he is even partially disabled.
What a mess! It’s tough being in law enforcement; it’s tough trying to be a parent; it’s tough having the community think you’re a perv; it’s tough trying to stand up for community standards when about everybody make excuses for every weird thing done by every weird person.
