BERLIN (Reuters) - A naked American tourist raised
eyebrows when he went for a walk through a German city
and told police he thought this was acceptable
behavior in Germany.
"We have been having unusually hot weather here lately
but, all the same, we can't have this," a spokesman
for police in the southern city of Nuremberg said
Tuesday. "The man said he thought walking around naked
was tolerated in Germany."
Many Germans enjoy nude sunbathing which is allowed in
public parks. The 41-year-old was carrying his clothes
in a bag when police stopped him Monday evening after
complaints from pedestrians.
The tourist was not under the influence of drugs, said
police. They made him get dressed and pay a 200 euro
($269) deposit pending his investigation for indecent behavior.
