An Oregon man raged at a police officer during a disagreement over state laws permitting public nudity in front of children.
'You're saying in the state of Oregon, someone can walk up to your two-year-old kid completely bare naked and that's not a crime, even if it's on your property?' Collins demands. He asserts that a bare-naked stranger approached his two-year-old son before he 'ran over to him and covered his eyes so he wouldn't see.'
'They're basically saying we have to wait for that person to do something more serious to your kid before we can intervene.'Despite Collins' fury, public nudity is broadly legal under Oregon state law, which takes precedence in the city of Bend However, the conversation doesn't stop there, as the city hosts an annual nude bike ride that is legally permissible.
However, the city of Bend does not have a particular ordinance against nudity, meaning Oregon law is Bend law.
