Couple Valentine Role-Play leads to arrest.... Dumb cops

Quote :
One couples' bondage role play on Valentine's Day ended in handcuffs, but not the fuzzy kind.

Portland, Ore., police received a call Tuesday afternoon that a naked woman was tied up in the back of a Subaru last seen leaving a supermarket parking lot.

Police deployed "at least nine cars" to look for the SUV and even alerted authorities in Washington in case the car crossed the state line.

Twenty minutes later, the Subaru was seen pulling into the driveway of the registered owner's address.

Nikolas Harbar, 31, who was the driver, told police that he and his girlfriend were "doing some Valentine's Day role playing."

Once police confirmed with Stephanie Pelzner, 26, that she was voluntarily nude and tied up, they slapped a pair of cuffs on the couple and booked them on one charge of disorderly conduct in the second degree.

"Role-play all you want," Sgt. Pete Simpson told ABC affiliate KATU. "But when you do something that is going to generate a 911 call, you should probably do it at home."
So now we are responsible for other people's stupidty or stupid assumptions in calling 911?

Maybe next time when I see a white baby being wheeled around by a non-white person, I get to call 911 and report that as kidnapping and have them arrested..

If this statement isn't then I don't know what is. How lame and sad.

Let me guess.

You're one of those guys that would make his "hot daughter" walk around naked, right? Because it's totally natural, right?

Are you really that thick? What do you think is going down when a woman is handcuffed naked in a car and driven to a guys house? Who even thinks of that? Of course someone would call the cops. It wasn't Big Brother spying or doing whatever it is you hate. It was someone that called the cops.

Well obviously not as thick like you.... Maybe you need to re-read my post, you can read can't you? or do you like following you fellow mob here...

Yes I have a problem with stupid ass cops who need to arrest people even after they found out NO FOUL PLAY was ever involved and it was just two couples out enjoying their lives like what FREE PEOPLE do in a FREE SOCIETY.. obviously concepts like these are too hard for a weak mind to understand...

Maybe you need to re-read your thread. But I guess that's asking too much.

There was nothing wrong with the witness calling the cops, but the cops charging the couple? That made no sense at all.

Sure, it's illegal to be naked in public. But if the girl was actually naked in public...then why wasn't she charged with indecent exposure? Why was the charge 2nd degree Disorderly Conduct?

Here's the statutory definition of disorderly conduct in Oregon:

Quote :
You may be charged with 2nd degree disorderly conduct if you are accused of trying to cause public inconvenience, annoyance, or alarm or creating a risk of those things by:

a. Fighting or engaging in violent or threatening behavior

b. Making unreasonable noise,

c. Disturbing a lawful assembly,

d. Obstructing traffic in public,

e. Congregating with other people in public and refusing a police order to disperse,

f. Initiating or circulating a false report concerning fire, explosion, or other emergency, or

g. Creating a hazardous or physically offensive condition by any act which you are not privileged to do.
Obviously, A-G do not apply from the above list. Perhaps one can say that they created public alarm, but then we have to establish intent--they *wanted* people to see and they *wanted* people to freak out. That's clearly not the case. Stupidity and malicious intent are not the same thing.

So call the cops on them? Sure. Arrest them to give em a scare/teach em a lesson? OK. Charge them with a crime? Nah.

Because bathing a kid that is too young to do it themselves is the same as you forcing them to walk around naked all the time. LMAO

I dunno. You're the one that said you didn't see how dads resisted their sexual urges around hot daughters. I figured you'd be the one to ask.

Perhaps that's why they were released later that day... Seems like that second option was taken. They couldn't actually be found guilty of a crime they didn't commit. If they were charged with something like indecent exposure, they'd probably get found guilty and added to the sex offender registry. Which would you prefer if you were them?

Edit: Looks like they plead guilty. I'd still rather be charged with a non-sexual crime and not be labelled a sex offender as opposed to being charged with a sex crime and having that label on me for the rest of my life. Dontknow

I figured the sex offender angle too, but that just argues for letting it go w/o charges imo.

I'm nott so sure that indecent exposure applies here. Time to get ready for the gym, but here's what I find on the google:

Quote :
163.465¹
Public indecency

(1) A person commits the crime of public indecency if while in, or in view of, a public place the person performs:

(a) An act of sexual intercourse;

(b) An act of deviate sexual intercourse; or

(c) An act of exposing the genitals of the person with the intent of arousing the sexual desire of the person or another person.
It's not clear that any "indecent" part of her was intentionally exposed. Again, intent is key here. Having your privates exposed when, for example, the thread in your clothing suddenly and catastrophically disintegrates is not a crime. Stick Out TongueCool

here's a wild thought .....

how about NOT CHARGED at all....since it was just Harmless fun that people have since we are still living in a FREE SOCIETY.. you understand the concept of freedom, but i guess your dad was too busy covering you up im clothes then teaching you...

too bad you never lived in europe, otherwise you think you walked into a place the bible warned you about

Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:



SECTION 1. ORS 166.025 is amended to read:

166.025. (1) A person commits the crime of disorderly conduct in the second degree if, with intent to cause public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk thereof, the person:

(a) Engages in fighting or in violent, tumultuous or threatening behavior;

(b) Makes unreasonable noise;

(c) Disturbs any lawful assembly of persons without lawful authority;

(d) Obstructs vehicular or pedestrian traffic on a public way;

(e) Congregates with other persons in a public place and refuses to comply with a lawful order of the police to disperse;

(f) Initiates or circulates a report, knowing it to be false, concerning an alleged or impending fire, explosion, crime, catastrophe or other emergency; or

(g) Creates a hazardous or physically offensive condition by any act which the person is not licensed or privileged to do.
(2) Disorderly conduct in the second degree is a Class B misdemeanor.



This is a bit more detailed and the charge makes perfect sense.
