Tickets Issued at Boulder's Naked Pumpkin Run


Police issued tickets for indecent exposure at Boulder's 10th Annual Naked Pumpkin Run because the huge crowd threatened to "get out of hand". Hundreds of costumed revelers started chanting “Let them go!” and telling officers to “find real criminals.”

Sorry, but I fail to see how a police crackdown on nude runners is an effective means to quiet a rowdy crowd. In this case it apparently just riled them up even more, and could have resulted in someone being hurt, or worse. Better to set up a police presence and let the runners have their fun. After all, it's not really indecent exposure if nobody is offended, is it? All the tickets that were issued should be challenged.
