I'm sorry to discuss meta-HN and scores, but judging from the upvotes it clearly is about punishment (not about the crime, this subject is pretty clear to everyone here).

Crimes are relative and sometimes very localized.

What abouts (not) wearing pants and underwear infront of children?

> I want the punishments to fit the crime. I'm okay with murders going to jail. I'm not okay with jay walkers going to jail.

How do you know someone actually commited murder? Shouldn't there be a process, with investigations, lawyers, proof, judges, juries, etc. first?

Being naked should not be a crime anywhere.

Most crimes are a crime "because some book says it should be" that book is typically a law book, but still.
