My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York
The neighbor of a relative of mine was exposing himself publicly, but he was not arrested. The relative of mine called the police on this man, who would parade around naked in his yard. He would also leave the blinds open at night with the lights on, exposing himself intentionally. He would just parade around naked basically, clearly trying to get others to see him. Eventually, my relative had enough and called the police on this man. However, the answer she got surprised her and very much surprised me. The police claimed they could do nothing, because he was on his own property. They said that he wasn't committing a crime by lounging around his yard naked and parading nude in front of the window. However, I just found the whole thing puzzling. I mean, there has to be a law against indecent exposure in one's yard. In my opinion, it really seems like there ought to be really if there isn't already. My relative was quite worried by seeing this man's provocatively intended displays in his yard. I know that in addition to "indecent exposure" there also are laws on the books in most states regarding "lewd conduct". I feel like someone exposing themselves in their yard would qualify as well within the realm of "lewd" behavior, even if it wasn't technically indecent exposure given him being located on his own property. I can't possibly see how that wouldn't be considered "lewd" behavior.
