At a minimum yes. They could have also asked more questions like: Were the people you saw simply naked or did they behave in a sexual manner? If they are simply naked they could just choose not to respond. There is objectively no reason to respond to someone who simply saw something they didnt like.

A naked hike is great but a naked hike with my wife and a friend of mine is even better

Case law says that quiet places in nature are generally considered suitable. Unfortunately that doesn't guarantee a forester or cop won't give you a ticket as most people don't know the law and associated case law. However if you object your fine will be dropped since you didnt do anything illegal

I don't mind that most people don't know the law as long as police officers know the law and tell people who call them that simple nudity is allowed in public places. Of course it would be great if the public also knew about it. If people know something is legal they're much more likely to accept it

If the police better understands the law and its implications and know that simply being naked is lawful they wouldn't have to respond to non-issues like naturist taking a walk and people who call the police will also get told its legal which will greatly increase acceptance.

Afterwards we contacted the Naturist foundation who said they were going to try to better inform law enforcement.

We did have to explain the law and its case laws to the police as they clearly didn't know about it and thought what we did was illegal. The unfamiliarity with the freedoms we have as naturists is a big obstacle in the acceptance of public nudity.

During my last #nakedhike with a friend of mine someone had called the police. We didnt get a ticket as we obviously didnt do anything wrong. Being naked in public is simply allowed in the Netherlands under #artikel430a on all suitable locations such as the one where we were.

Shirley Mason: Nudity in public, when done respectfully, harms no one. It’s time our laws caught up with this simple truth.

Great article and i agree. Seeing someone naked doesnt turn a naturist on so instead you will rely more on things like touch, smell and atmosphere.

Naked hiking is a wonderfully healthy and therapeutic pastime, and an excellent way of taking naked living out into the world, beyond the clubs and the designated beaches.

It is time for us all to take naked living out into the world!

Both, Its definitely a lifestyle for me but also a silent form of protest for more personal freedom, to be able to be yourself everywhere. I want people to respect each others lifestyle, i respect other people's freedoms and i expect them to respect mine.

Taking nudism out into the outside world: a walk along the river.

We believe that the time has come for us to take nudism out into the outside world by being naked in natural public spaces, such as beaches (not only nudist beaches) and in the countryside.

Verkracht en vermoord jij ook vrouwen dan? Dan ben je inderdaad onderdeel van het probleem.

Zijn de begrippen 'verhoudingen' en 'percentages' nu echt zo ingewikkeld? Natuurlijk zijn er minder Somaliers in de absolute cijfers, er zijn uberhaupt minder somaliers in dit land dan autochtonen. In verhouding komen ze echter veel vaker voor bij dit soort misdrijven. Dat zijn gewoon feiten.
