Is it legal for a 24 year old to be nude in her parents backyard when the neighbors could see it?

Look up your local laws.

Here in the Netherlands (yes, I have spend a few hours researching this, looking up the actual laws, as the house I will soon be moving to has a back garden neighbors can see into), it is legal; you can be naked in your garden if it is not visible from public spaces. The property of the neighors is not a public space, so visibility from there is not a (legal) problem. The only situation in which they can cause trouble, is when they see you doing indecent things... But just being naked is not indecent. Just don't do anything sexual. Just relaxing naked in the sun, or gardening... You're perfectly fine.

If your neighbors can see you then it's illegal because it's indecent exposure. Put something up that would block their view. So you can have the privacy and also the sun at the same time.

It’s not legal for you at any age to be naked in your backyard if the neighbors can see. However, if you can take reasonable precautions to prevent them from seeing then you can. So build a higher fence. Basically if someone can see you within a reasonable line of sight you could get a ticket for indecent exposure. But I can’t imagine anyone complaining about a naked woman in her own backyard.

[ushagomez]

It will depend upon the laws where you live. Here in the UK it is not an offence to be nude unless there is a clear deliberate intent to cause alarm or distress to other people. If you went nude in your neighbours back yard to alarm or distress them, that would be an offence. Being nude in your family back yard is clearly not intended to alarm them and so is perfectly legal.

[OlderAndWiser]

If you can easily be seen from adjoining property, you are displaying yourself nude in public. In most areas of the US, that is illegal. In what country or state are you located?

[JamesDiaz11]

No, it is not. That's indecent exposure, in the same way it would be if you were walking around your house nude with the windows wide open for people to see. You have to be covered in any area that is exposed to the public, including in/ on your personal property.

[najekim]

Not really. In the yard is a grey area as you are expected privacy on your own property. However, if you're nude in a dwelling and someone sees you through the window and complains, you can turn around and have them charged under "peeping tom" laws. A nudist friend of ours has done this many times and won every time if it went to court.

[JamesDiaz11]

@najekim Do you want to play in a gray area that may get you put on the sex offender registry?

[LazerBean]

In most states, no.

[MasterKS]

@lazerbean why not in his own house?

[LazerBean]

You can in your house. Your backyard is not in your house. If you are naked outside of your home or someone can see you in they did not give you consent, it is indecent exposure.

[MasterKS]

@lazerbean in own boundary there is no issues at all.

[LazerBean]

The legal system in most states clearly says otherwise.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Wrong.

[LeeannaDD]

If they have a fence that's not see through then probably

[RavVid]

Is it legal to be naked in your shower? Yes. Backyard yes. They don't have to look.

[megabamse]

Well it's legal sure. But not exactly a sosial norm. But not my life not my body. How ever i think it would be respectful to not walk around naked on my parents property for all the neighbors to see. I would save my naked stuff for when i own my own place.

[Nikki1989]

If your neighbours can see you, it is illegal.

[gorydetails]

Probably depends on where you live.

[notwoke]

its of if she's thin and hot

[strlb]

Sounds like you're asking so you can do it? While I am not an attorney to provide legal advice, I would look up state & local laws. Would love to be your neighbor and enjoy the beautiful view

[d_e141]

Sorry for interrupting but why do you want to get naked if the neighbors can see you and you don't want to?
And to answer your question I think it would be considered as indecent exposure

[MasterKS]

why not? its his private area.

[tallblondejohm]

Yes I believe it is legal. As long as ur in ur backyard
