Nudity is legal in UK
To be totally clear nudity is legal in UK given some restrictions which for recreational naturism are always met.
This is all covered in documents agreed with the police by British Naturism (BN).

See the first two columns on page two of the Police College document.
Actions which are described as passive (sunbathing, walking, cycling,...) and the nude person is not intending to cause distress are legal and require the call handler to tell the complainer that no action is needed. It is not a matter of the complainer being distressed - it is what the nude person intends that matters.
Too often call handlers do not know the law and pass it on to police and then the Police don't know the law.
Until these errors by police are called out, we will not get our rights to be nude in these passive situations.
BN campaigns tirelessly and defends members successfully. Police do tend to make things up and fail to apply the Police College guidelines.
Oh damn, that's super cool!
I mean, not the call handlers or cops not knowing the law part, just that you all have that ability.
US is so damn far behind on so many things. Probably will stay that way beyond my lifespan. So many people here are so backwards (to put it mildly) in their world views and want everyone else to be just as terrible as they are.
Ye i have done some reaserch into this and it seems its perfectly legal as long as it doesnt cause offence. Which is a bit ambiguous tbh as its down to the individual as to what is offensive. Overall not bad though, seen a few guys on here who cycle naked through towns and country lanes with minimal issues so thats a hood sign.
The trouble is the victim will be co horst in to saying they were shocked.
Police - were you shocked
Victim well no, but it's not something you see every day
Police so you were startled
Victim well sort of
Police so you were shocked
Victim well yeah............
but if you were dressed like a clown the same would apply...........
If the victim does not like what you do your nicked - fact
One officer told me that he would arrest me anyway. Sometimes its not just about what the book law says, but the attitude of mind of the individual officers concerned. Give individuals the power and in most cases it always turns out to be abusive. I never could get my head round how anyone could say the human body is indecent. It is a design that we get no say in and everybody is the same, male and female.
