    “In Oregon, it is not illegal to be naked in public. We do have a public indecency law and a private indecency law, but both of those have a required element," Miller said. “It has to be for the purpose of arousal for it to be illegal. That was not the case in this issue.”

    So, dude walking around with his junk hanging out? Not illegal. Dude jacking it in public? Illegal.

          In Oregon or all over the US?

          Would a brown paper bag in front of the private parts make it legal, like alcohol?

          But how do you evaluate if people are unconsenting about an act before the act takes place? That’d be premature evaluation.

        Would be a fun defense to try:

        “Your honor, you’ve seen the video, nobody is aroused by that…”
