Police seek cyclist who was wearing tartan cap - and nothing else

Define 'offensive', it's massively subjective, I'm offended by what many people wear, i don't go spragging to the police that I'm outraged over what someone is or is not wearing though. The police should mind their own business and deal with issues that are actually harming people.

the 'Naked Rambler' Stephen Gough was arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned many times in Scotland (probably in England too) and he eventually went to the court of human rights in Strasbourg. they then basically said he couldn't walk around with no clothes on, so will continue to be arrested and spend time in prison.

It's an absolute nonsense that nakedness is seen as sexual or a perversion/offensive, that always says to me it's the person/s making that correlation have the problem!

Missing person. Biker who took part in the london naked bike ride has not returned home. Family are extremely worried. Last seen in Devizes. Mid 30's wearing nothing but a tartan cap.

Sure wearing a tartan cap is outraging public decency? I wouldn't want my child exposed to something like that.

Wiltshire police are definitely wrong; in England and Wales they must prove that public nudity is intended to offend for it to be a crime. In Scotland, it only needs someone to be offended, and apparently cops are very senstive souls.

Sounds like the Wolrd Naked Bike Ride lot need to send a crack squad to Devizes

ahem.

Imagine that the naked cyclist had a near miss incident with a car and reported it.  That would confuse the police investigating who has committed a crime?

Seemingly, they would go for the one that gets most column inches (fnar, fnar) 

Donald where's uuuur truuuuuuusers 

And your t shirt, vest, socks and pants.

Sun's out nob out, thats my motto! 

Thinking about it, I'm sure there's been a story about a naked cyclist in Devizes on here once before; I wonder if it was the same person?

FFS. Really?

all the stuff that appears on this site (and others) pertaining to cyclists being nearly or actually killed and the police do sweet FA even with video evidence. Now some  guy decides to do go cycling naked and there's an effin police appeal about it.  

all that guy needs to do is tell dibble that he was nearly twatted by some tit in a car and they'll suddenly not give a shit

have they really got nothing else to do? Like catch bloody criminals?

Apparently he did have a small sporran, even though it was a warm day....

Dear Wiltshire Police,

Have you really got the resources to piss around on something like this?

Yours faithfully,

A taxpayer.

So if I send the police a video of that rider getting out of his home naked with a full face helmet and his bike, together with a placemark, I guess the police will not be able to do nothing as they wouldn't be able to identify the offender due to the helmet. Or at least that is what happens with close passes...

Do you think the police would double their effort if it was a naked woman?

The police really are a bunch of donkeys wasting their time like this.

I understood it is only an offence to be naked in public if someone is offended? (Mind you the person that is outraged about it probably had to put Page 3 of the Sun down to be outraged)

Tartan caps are an abomination, but I will support anyones rights and freedom to wear one.

As I understand it, it's is quite a grey area, though probably not for someone this young.

I guess you could say he was left to his own Devizes.
