Just how funny was that story of the man in Fairfax County, Va., who got up early on Monday morning, Oct. 19, walked naked into his own kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee?<\/p>\n

The next significant thing that happened to 29-year-old Eric Williamson is the local cops arriving to charge him with indecent exposure. It turns out that while he was brewing the coffee, a mother was taking her 7-year-old son along a path beside Williamson’s house, spied the naked Williamson and called the local precinct, or more likely her husband, who turns out to be a cop.<\/p>\n

“Yes, I wasn’t wearing any clothes,” Williamson said later, “but I was alone, in my own home and just got out of bed. It was dark and I had no idea anyone was outside looking in at me.”<\/p>\n

The story ended up on TV, starting with Fox, and in the opening rounds, the newscasters and network blogs had merciless sport with the Fairfax police for their absurd behavior. Hasn’t a man the right to walk around his own home (or in this case, rented accommodations) dressed according to his fancy? Answer, obvious to anyone familiar with relevant case law, absolutely not.<\/p>\n
