Court: Man has Right to Masturbate in Living Room With Blinds Open
The Canadian Supreme Court ruled that a man could not be punished because his neighbors saw him masturbating in his living room. In 2000, Daryl Clark was arrested by police in British Columbia after a couple caught him in the act.
A judge ruled that his living room became a public place because people could see inside it and he was sentenced to four months in prison. The Supreme Court noted the couple next door looked under their blinds to watch the man.
The Supreme Court understands the couple was concerned Clark could be "masturbating to our children." However, it ruled that people are free to do whatever they want in their living rooms as long as they don't intend for people to see indecent acts.
Im gonna open my binds all the way, right when the school buses let out adn jerk the turkey, that will teach those stupid people who are nosy eneought to look through the blinds to stare at a man naked, i thnk the couple should be sued... thats jst wrong
Hey, as long as YOU don't think other people will see, that's all the resonable expectation of privacy you OR they need.
Beautiful.
For the record, I happen to agree with the conclusion of the Supreme Court -- you have the Right to do what you want in your home.
Technically speaking, it is their fault for having their sensory-input devices (peepers) pointed in the direction of the offending rebounds of protons off of the gent whacking his cock,...
And either the protons which filter in (and consequently, back out) the window and are originating with the Sun, or their peepers could be said equally as much as at fault.
But that is grossly overly technical.
I simply say if you go looking in people's windows, you deserve what you get.
Standing in front of your living room window which looks onto the neighbours houses and bashing the bishop should not be allowed. How are passing children going to know NOT to look in the direction of your house until they have already witnessed the said choking of the chicken? How did this w*nker (literally) demonstrate that he "didn't intend for people to see indecent acts"? If he REALLY didn't want ppl to see he should have drawn the curtains (unless he forgot) - sounds to me that he made an embarrasing mistake and was lucky to get away with it. Tosser.
of a story of a guy who was secretly choking the chicken in the living room behind his sofa, but did not realize that the light behind him cast a very long jerking shadow all across the street.
The Canadian guy has the right to masturbate until he's deaf and blind, nobody is disputing that. You or I have the equal right to walk along a public road without being exposed to the offensive actions of others. I believe this right over-rides the Canadians to jerk off in full view of anyone and everyone who passes by. The critical part is where it is stipulated "don't intend for people to see indecent acts", since if he was in view of all passers-by, regardless of where he was, then in my opinion he was guilty of indecent exposure. Its like noise pollution, except this is visual. You presumably do not have kids as if you did I'm sure you would not want them to be exposed to grown men masturbating in full view of them. You, instead, protect the rights of the offender. How you can suggest that ppl shouldn't be aware of such activities as they walk down the street is ignoring the reality - you are aware, whether you intend to be or not, of what is going on around you when you walk down the street don't you? And yet you expect the human race to suddenly keep their gaze fixed directly ahead while all the nearby residents merrily jerk off in the front window. Soiunds too much like the usual American PC crap gone mad IMO. You'll be saying its within a persons rights to download kiddie porn next - forget the rest of society and stick up for a persons right to be a pervert.
In most communities the two onlookers would be charged with peeping tom charges. According to the finding of the court,"the woman's husband fetched a pair of binoculars and a telescope. He also tried, unsuccessfully, to videotape Clark in action". These people didn't just walk by and see a clear shot of this man making baby batter. They saw movement and went to great lengths to get a better look. He was not standing in front of the window looking out. In fact, they couldn't really see anything at all. "The officer was able to see Clark from his belly up from the neighbour's bedroom and from the neck or shoulders up from the street level, but Clark was charged after the police officer shone his flashlight in Clark's window at close range." Peeping Toms should be charged or sued or both.
The Neighbors should have been arrested for being peeping toms! There's nothing wrong with ANY kind of sex in your own home, as long as the blinds and curtains are closed!
Anyway, I think that as long as the guy wasn't standing in front of the window and jerking off, and since it took his neighbors a lot of effort to get a good enough view that they would feel violated, I think they're to blame here, and not him...
Who is in the wrong here? A man for doing what 99.9% of men do, in his own home no less, or the neighbours for peering into another person's home? If he was hanging out of his bathroom window and doing it that'd be different haha. And what the hell was that "he could be thinking about our children" thing about?? Where did that even come from? I mean...God! lol. It sounds like the real "perves" are the neighbours lol. I'd love to hear the phone call to the cops though: "I wish to report that a man is in his living room choking his chicken, and I suspect he may be thinking about my kids because he is doing it in his living room, which is traditionally the child-porn room of the house, as I'm sure you know". Logically, it'd be easier to spy on kids and masturbate from an upper-floor, not the ground floor living room...not that I've tried or anything...:P haha...
Between the U.S government and anti-living room masturbators I don't know where this world is going!
Soooo.... are you saying it's okay to masturbate in a house with the front door unlocked, because those neighbors might come by and invade your privacy even further and enter the front door. Hell, they might as well since they got the Canadian Mounties to arrest the poor guy.
He should sue those damn neighbors because they got his name smeared all over the world as a chicken-choker.
