We need a much more powerful framework to justify and encourage nudism.
I've been working on it with help from lawyers and law enforcement California, specifically San Francisco and Marin County.
California state law permits nudity in public, but Police still respond to 911 calls. In fact, they respond especially quickly to those calls. Some officers, especially the young ones, do detain and arrest. Obviously, that's an inconvenience even if the district attorneys do not press charges, which they usually don't.
I need help to collect stories from people who've been arrested but not charged for PC 314, i.e. being nude, not lewd. The Marin county counsel provided me with a list of a couple of hundred people arrested in the past 10 years. 70% of those cases were dismissed.
So we need to figure out how to reach them so we can ask whether they would share their stories. The first step is to find phone numbers from the list of names, and that requires a subscription these days.
I had truthfinder, but it wasn't very helpful because it typically gave a long list of possible numbers, most of which were no good. If you have a subscription or something better, that would be an awesome start. Or if you have time to call lots of numbers, to find the good ones that could work too. (And then if you could help to interview people, and write up or podcast their stories, that would be fantastic.)
Very sad loss. I visited Praia do Pinho in 2018 prior to attending ELAN Brazil, with my son and a naturist friend from Chile. We were impressed with the secure paid parking, the restaurant and snack/souvenir shop, and being offered an umbrella for the sun and a table and chairs all for rent while enjoying the naturist beach for the day. My son was 12 at the time. There were other families and couples and groups from Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil when we were there. I liked it better than Haulover Beach due to pricing/company/food offerings. There was even a small set of cabins to rent, but we stayed locally in a family place for a few days and flew in through Sao Paulo to Navegantes International Airport and rented a car. It was a perfect little naturist vacation for my son and me and a friend. I am very sad and disappointed that the area seems to have deteriorated due to the presence of non-naturists and there are not enough legitimate naturist tourists any more to make it a viable naturist beach destination 😢
That's disappointing.

Thanks for all your work reporting on international naturism!
Hey thank you!

So sad that this is also happening in Brazil. 😢
