Naturist facing trial

This story reminds me of the old nudist joke: A woman phones police to complain that her next door neighbor is naked in his back yard. The police arrive and look out her kitchen window to see only a fence. The officer says, "Maam we can't see anything but a fence." She says, "Well officer you have to stand on top of the kitchen table and use these binoculars."
