Busted by the cops while scantily "dressed". For "nudity" in public!
What constitutes "nudity"? Most every online site has their own standards. And, every community in the US seems to also. Was I guilty? I'll let U decide for yourselves. Here's what happened:
I scoped out the site the day before our shoot. There was no one at the small, obscure city park on a steep hillside. For the 20 minutes I plotted where we'd set up, shoot, etc. It was about 11 AM. on a Thursday. Folks were working. Kids were in school. I figured if we started about 11 and finished before 12 noon, lunch time, we'd get away unseen.
We arrived at about that time on Friday. There was only a guy sitting in his car. We went down the hill and were immediately out of site from anyone on the sidewalk or the street above. Hidden by heavy brush and trees. I removed my pants and loose coat. Wearing my full length female suit, with undies, underneath for our shoot. We had just finished the first scene. I had the jacket back on, hiding my previously uncovered, silicone boobs, when a jogger ran by. We exchanged, "Hi's", and he vanished down the trail.
My photographer was visibly unnerved but we had one more scene to shoot and we could leave. The scene; a topless woman rolling down a hillside. I had just set it up when a lady walking her dog came down the trail. She was friendly and curious. We told her we were shooting scenes for an internet story. She made some encouraging comments then went off with her pooch. We were in a hurry now. It may have taken 10 minutes max to shoot the rest..gif "Big Roll Eyes")
Then, I hurriedly dressed and packed up all our gear. At the top of the trail, we saw a man of about 60+ watching us. Maybe taking photos of us with his phone? He had a local high school's name on his Tshirt. With the word, "Coach" on it. I tried to engage him in conversation. He said something like, "Just get the hell outta here u perv!" To which I said, ok, we r leaving now. He must have called 911. Because as we were pulling away, a black and white pulled up in front of us. Followed shortly by a really old guy in a Parking Enforcement car. He had no uniform. But, got out and watched during the entire show. As did 3 folks sitting on a bench by the curb.
I immediately got out. By the time I reached the uniformed officer the coach had walked away. I explained what we had been doing and unzipped my jacket to let him see a fake breast and told him I was and had been wearing underwear. He was about 30 and never had an attitude or gave me a snarky look. (Remember, to anyone not seeing me in my suit? I was just a bearded old man in dark, loose clothing.) He was not what I expected at all. I have memories of the, "u against us" attitudes by cops when I was growing up here. Our discussion was mainly about the local nudity laws and why they were enacted. His point was, whether or not I was breaking the law, the "coacH" was offended by my "nudity". I explained we thot no one would see us and had no intention of offending folks. But, we WERE in a public park he said. I agreed it was a bad idea and wouldn't do it again! (I won't.)
He took down my info from my drivers license. Interestingly:, never calling it in, ignoring my friend in the car, and the fact that my license expired months ago! The last thing he said was, there would be no public report and don't do it again. Since he wrote down my info on an index card, I wonder if he just tossed it after he drove off?
My friend and I discussed this later. Is wearing fake breasts in public "nudity"? Unless we were doing it to intentionally shock folks, I don't think so. But, I wonder? What do u think?
