Two Cheeks to the Wind

In Australia, a lawyer is arguing his client was exercising a constitutional right to protest when he mooned the fuzzy wuzzies last August. The police prosecutor's indignant defense seems nevertheless ambiguous: "If we allowed everyone who wanted to drop their pants and moon police officers, we are undermining the authority of the police."

Instead of worrying about threat to authority and how mooning can become speech, the Aussie police might try indecent exposure as a charge. On the other hand, the person in question might try writing something on his cheeks the next time to test the theory of protected speech.
