DROPPETH TROU: New Laws Mean You Could Cop Jail Time For Mooning In VIC

 
An Aussie state government has cracked down on a problem that… well if we’re honest, we didn’t realise was such a huge problem that new laws would be necessary. BUT HEY, maybe this is why we ain’t politicians, ya feel?
So, Victoria has implemented new laws that have criminalised the juvenile, consent-removing act that is mooning.
Mooning was kinda illegal already, under criminal acts like indecent exposure or streaking, but now, it’s been elevated to its own separate crime. And attempting it will likely land you in jail.
No kidding – first time offenders now face up to two months in jail, and repeat offenders are gonna get a maximum of six months. 
In 2006, a judge in Maryland said that ‘mooning’ is a form of ‘artistic expression’. He told the court, 
“If exposure of half of the buttocks constituted indecent exposure, any woman wearing a thong at the beach … would be guilty.”
However, the VIC government has implemented this decision as a part of an mass overhaul of approximately 50 sexual offence laws. 

Liberal Democrats Senator David Leyonjhelm is thoroughly disgusted by this, saying that his terrifying-sounding commute on the bus is now going to look EXTREMELY different:

RIP to the enigmatic gesture that was, and will always be ‘the Brown Eye‘. What a time to be alive.
