What do they do to people on nude beaches who put towels on? Story out of New York City, New York:
Over Independence Day, police were in force along the traditionally gay section of the beach at Jacob Riis Park, where one gay man was pounced on and arrested for briefly being nude.
Brooklyn photographer Krys Fox told the Daily Dot he was photographing someone for an Instagram photo series when the towel he had wrapped around his waist dropped and he was momentarily exposed. But before he could refasten it, he was tackled to the ground by multiple officers.
“I just didn’t wrap my towel around my waist tight enough and it suddenly slipped down and I literally got sent to jail for it,” he said.
Fox had removed his bathing suit to let it try, but says he had no intention of going naked. The police had been sweeping the beach all day, according to Fox, “on horses, in uniform [and] undercover.
Six uniformed officers and several undercover plainclothes officers carried Fox off the beach as he screamed, “Help me.”
He wasn’t even allowed to get dressed before he was taken to jail, where he was forced to wear a paper robe as he sat in a cell for three hours.
Fox was ultimately charged with public nudity, disorderly conduct, interfering with agency function and disobeying an order, before being sent home.
