Men in speedos, he should get a ticket, no one wants to look at that. Women don't even want to look at men in speedos. I say throw him in jail with it on and see the look on his face when his eyes get real big.

“It frightens me and embarrasses me to go public with it."

-Hmmmm, but he's not embarrassed about wearing his little marblebag out in public. Men wearing speedos should be a felony!

Yeah, he shoud sue everyone he possibly can. When he wins a huge monetary judgement he can be paid from that big pot of money the lawsuit fairy provides to municipalities. <<rolling eyes>>

Sue-happy idiots in our society fail to realize any money awarded to plaintiffs comes from taxpayers, not from a "lawsuit tree" growing behind the courthouse.

The guy is owed an apology, if that, and nothing more.

He got a ticket for trespassing, not for indecent exposure. Something does not make sense about the entire story.

Well, if somebody on the beach complained and filed a complainet against the speedo dude, saying the guy was repulsive or something, the cop did the right thing. But he has to have somebody report it for him to come out there. The cop was dispatched to the area after a report was filed. The speedo guy will not get any money!!

With all the women running around the beach in micro bikiki's and throngs why shouldn't the men have the right to show off their package if they the nerve to appear in pubic just like the women.

I am a Speedo wearer. Wear it on my boat for tanning. No much different than woman wearing bikinis. One should look good to wear one. There are certainly women out there that should not wear bikinis.

There must be more to this story.

There are good cops and bad cops. Lee's hope the "bad cops" are weeded out by natural selection. Like the rest of the "bad" ones int he world.

I'm sure your truly embarrassed about going public (Right) with this. I would urge you to please make sure you continue to follow the advise of your swimewear consultant, I meant your attorney so both of you can go out an buy more speedos with the money you will get-receive-steal from the taxpayers.
