what if you refused to wear clothes.

what would happen if you woke up one day and decided to not get dressed. you just went about your day as normal....of course until the cops came. but im saying what if you still refused to put on clothes, now sure the cops would cover you up but even then whenever possible (might not be possible because of handcuffs) you take off everything covering you. sure you would have to see a judge and im sure you would get a contempt of court, but the bottom line is, would you spend the rest of your life naked in jail? would you get sent to a mental institution, because in this scenario a straight jacket is the only thing that could keep you covered. anyone know if this has ever happened before?

 

this just might work for my crazy check..

 

If your looking to go that route you have to do it after a tramatic experience.

 

better not drop the soap..:leaving:

 

I just wonder why you asked the question? Do you ever plan to go naked 24/7 just to prove you are insane? Don't bother my freind, you've already done that.

 

Men would melt

 

I don't think anything that dramatic would happen. The cops would tell you to get dressed, you'd be arrested, and eventually pay a fine or spend a few days in jail.

 

The cops would not charge me I'm sure I'd figure out a way for us both to get what we wanted

 

There is someone doing this. Search on Steve Gough Naked Walker. He walked from Lands End to John O'Groats in Britain about 10 years ago. Got arrested a few times, but England just warned him, Scotland however were not so happy. I think he then tried again, with his girlfriend of the time, when they got to Scotland again he was arrested, convicted and imprisoned. He is naked 24/7 in prison so he is kept in solitary confinment and everytime he is released he is immediately arrested again because he is naked. He has been through numerous psych evaluations and been declared sane. He is just determined to prove that there is nothing wrong with being naked.

 

As long as you are inside what difference would it make. I think the problem would be when you went out to the store of work LOL.

 

who cares if someone is naked? unless they're jerking it in front of my window i don't give a fuck

 

Stephen Gough has recently been released from prison after agreeing to return to England, though without putting any clothes on.

The original question is pretty meaningless as it depends very much where you live. Laws on public nudity vary between countries and from one US state to another. Also, even in places where the law is relatively liberal the police can often find something else to charge you with. The bottom line is that in most places, refusing to wear clothes in any circumstances would make your life pretty complicated.

 

Steve Gough was released on July 17 and was allowed to walk away naked, without promising to go to England or anywhere else. He was then arrested again (by a different police force) on the 20th and held for trial in August.

You'd certainly rob yourself of the ability to live a normal life. Steve Gough ended up in prison and was re-arrested every time he left.

Even if you didn't fall foul of the law, you'd probably find you couldn't get a job, you'd be barred from riding on public transport, shops could refuse to serve you, if you were at school you'd probably be expelled...

About the only place you could just refuse to wear clothes would be at home with family, you could just say to your family "I am no longer going to wear clothes any time I am here", but even then, you would probably wreck your relationship with them if you acted that way towards them.

 

Have you heard about that Aussie guy? (Theres thread somewhere on this forum) He was in jail for a long time but then they decided to set him free.

 

Thanks for the update Amontillado, I had missed that.

And you'd probably get beaten up on a regular basis - unless you're a tough ex-Marine like Gough I suppose - but the bottom line is, you would basically be opting out of society.

 

Er no ... there is a forum post "Aussie Naked Rambler Set Free" but it's actually about Stephen Gough being released from Perth Prison. They evidently confused it with Perth, Australia.

 

Yes, Gough is a specially-trained man who saw a mission that few others would or could take on. It is not just about the nudity, but about freedom of choice.
Do we really want to live in a nanny state?
And by the way, I am not against social safety nets such as UK and much of Europe provides! The idea of social liberty is not inherently incompatible with social justice. Gough should be free to dress as he pleases without the government assuming that his body is inherently offensive to society and without individuals having the right to demand his arrest because they don't like his choice of wardrobe.
Gough has done us all a huge favor and far too few realize what he has done.

 

There are ways to undress/dress someone who is in handcuffs and/or being restrained!

They would probably assess you mentally, but after some time you still maintained to be naked - what would they do
