Naked fast-food customer challenges laws
BARRIE, Ont. - An Ontario man who court heard went through fast food drive-thrus while naked and pretended to get a wallet out of his non-existent back pocket is challenging Canada's nudity laws as unconstitutional. Brian Coldin is facing five charges for incidents near a clothing-optional resort he operates in Bracebridge, Ont., and incidents at an A&W and a Tim Hortons. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- One witness wept while testifying about seeing Coldin nude at a drive-thru. Another witness testified about his children being upset by seeing Coldin near his resort. But Ruby suggested no real harm came to them, as they didn't seek counselling. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jessica Swift testified that when she was working the drive-thru window at an A&W in Bracebridge in May 2009 she was "very uncomfortable" when three nude men drove up in a car. She wept on the stand as she described how she could see their genitals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The unusual case got off to a strange start Monday morning when Ruby asked the judge to exclude someone from the courtroom. Coldin told the court a woman and her brother have been stalking him, and that the brother spit in his face in the courthouse lobby just before court started. Coldin teared up as he said the woman had threatened his life. She left the court of her own accord.
Death threats for being nude? A woman crying because she saw genitalia? And they say that naturists are the weird ones?
EDIT: I took out most of the article due to copyright infringements but left in the highlights about overreactions to the nudity, that was my main point. Also, I was wondering if we give credit to the original publisher and author then isn't that OK to reproduce the whole thing?
Note: Entire article is available in a link 2 posts below.
jaydog i agree if the defendant was a female there wouldn't even be a court case, but i don't understand the problem of him being at a nudist resort unless he standing on the roadway nude flagging people into the club, i do think alot of people overreact to seeing the common person nude but if they are from hollywood they are examted and raved over. oh and what i'd give to go to tim hortons for a sub, soup and donut.....
