In case you think mowing the lawn topless is a cute idea

A friend made a joke on Facebook about being topless in their yard and after years of working for criminal defense attorneys and seeing some serious sentencing for what often amounted to merely intoxication and public urination, I have a BIG GIANT caveat.  In case anyone thinks that idea sounds cute and fun, public nudity = a criminal charge of indecent exposure for which you’ll be placed on a sexual offender list, have to register as a sex offender twice a year forever, be restricted to curfew, undergo regular drug/alcohol screening, you can’t own a computer with internet access, your home will be subjected to random searches for sexual related info, no visiting topless clubs or hanging where kids hang, you have to disclose the name of your sexual partners and disclose to them your offender status, and more.  Check the laws in your state for how it will affect your employment, etc.  Yeah, not such a cute idea anymore, huh?  Live and learn.
