A man who has a fetish for toe-licking strangers was caught by police after like three years, but was let go because there is no crime! The dutch are demanding an amendment to the law that prohibits toe-licking.

LOL yah, I heard about him already. If he tried that with me, a kick in the teeth is what he'd get. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Edit: And doh, there *is* no law prohibiting toe-licking, that's the point of the fuss.

The last time I was in Amsterdam I saw a male bodybuilder wearing nothing but a G-string rollerblading down the street.

Probably not necessary for an anti-toe licking law. I mean, come on, not a very common occurance, is it?

What I don't understand is why he could not be prosecuted. Couldn't they get him for assault or harassment?

Oh, him. Don't exaggerate, he's not a bodybuilder. Just a guy who likes to rollerblade around naked wearing nothing but a G-string and a rucksack. Sometimes he's on a mountainbike, too.
Personally I find it more shocking when some transvestite feels (s)he has to walk around in a pair of those pants that have a hole cut out where their ass is. Yuck. Prefer total upfront in-your-face nudity to the nasty surprise of a fully dressed person turning around and confronting you with their hairy butt. *shudder*

Toe-licking would be a tort under common law in most any European country and would be against at least a few statutes in most states in the U.S. It's called offensive battery and it may also fall under fondling or molestation laws, because it is sexual.

Just an FYI -- you don't have to specifically make something illegal if it falls under a more generally-prohibited behavior.

Great point. Thanks! I had not thought of that.
