Is a person allowed to walk around buck naked on their own property in full view of the neighbors or would they be legally sanctioned for indecent exposure? For the record, I live in MA.

That would be illegal in Texas.

ln my state a "victim" would have to sign an order of arrest. The state, and police officers cannot be the victim of disturbing the peace type crimes.

 Not just NO but HELL NO! I live on the back end of a small golf course here and some of the guys like to get absolutely sloshed and then they "whip it out" for all the neighbors to see and pee on our bushes while they stand on the golf course.  The lady that lives upstairs from me is sick and tired of these pigs exposing themselves to her and everybody else.  We've called the cops and they did have a conversation with the clubhouse management, but it seems not to have had an effect.  What can be done?

Front yard you should be clothed.  Backyard, do what you want.  Neighbors should keep their eyes on their property and not concern themselves with what you are doing on yours.

It seems like the people who want to take their clothes off the most are the ones who need to keep them on.

Get a paintball gun and mark the bastages so they can not deny it when arrested!

Plant some poison ivy by their favorite peeing spot.

I thought of that. Then I thought of running a wire through the shrubbery and attach it to a fence charger. That'll stop'em.

I was assuming that you had a neighbor that was trotting around in the buff.  With this additional info, you've got public urination, them urinating on someone elses property, and doing it on a public place, ie not their own property.  Whole nother issue :)  If they are pulling it out and saying crude things, that is lewd and lacivious behavior.  If it is just peeing which requires pulling it, that is still wrong but not to the same degree as the former.

What to do?  Got a video camera?  Get everyone you see on tape, file complaints, take the tape to the golf course management and show them what is going on and let them know you will be consulting a lawyer if they don't get it stopped.

It is only illegal (in Texas) if it is offensive to someone. Since people are offended by practically nothing these days, then chances are there would be an issue with it.  For Public Lewdness, you need an "act"...and for Indecent Exposure you need intent to "arouse or gratify". Just walking around the yard totally butt naked for no apparent reason does not fall under either of these offenses.

This would be covered under local ordinance/municipal code.

Texas Penal code violations:

§ 21.07.  PUBLIC LEWDNESS.  (a)  A person commits an
offense if he knowingly engages in any of the following acts in a
public place or, if not in a public place, he is reckless about
whether another is present who will be offended or alarmed by his:
(1)  act of sexual intercourse;                                              
(2)  act of deviate sexual intercourse;                                      
(3)  act of sexual contact;  or                                              
(4)  act involving contact between the person's mouth
or genitals and the anus or genitals of an animal or fowl.
(b)  An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.                  

§ 21.08.  INDECENT EXPOSURE.  (a)  A person commits an
offense if he exposes his anus or any part of his genitals with
intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person, and he
is reckless about whether another is present who will be offended or
alarmed by his act.
(b)  An offense under this section is a Class B misdemeanor.

In NY, only public toplessness is legal; total nudity would get you arrested.

True, but if the genetalia and anus are not visible, you're good to go. Breastesses are not addressed by that law.

Plant poison ivy and/or nettle plants around the bushes.

I got this idea from other posts on this site:

Get a digital camera and post some pics on the internet.  With a little photoshop magic you can make these pics hot to the right type of people.  Sooner or later word will get around to these clowns.

Hey, no problem.  I also like the paintball idea, maybe use red paint to make them think something horrible happened to Mr. Happy?
