Petition Make it illegal to be naked in a public place

I would like the Government to take action to prevent anyone, and especially children, from being exposed to nudity in public places, regardless of if a person means to cause alarm or distress. I have always believed in children's innocence and I want the law to help uphold that.

More details

I feel it should be illegal for anyone to be naked in a public place. It is only current an offence for someone to expose their genitals if they intend to cause alarm or distress.

My argument is that many children and adults seeing nudity will be shocked, therefore whether intentional or not this should be against the law. I feel we need to do better to protect children.
