  He was arrested and detained under Scottish Law - This is not the same as English Law.
  Under Scottish Law a Police Officer can be the actual complainant, and I gather, was so in this case.
  
  In England and Wales actual simple nudity is not illegal - There must be some aggravating circumstances such as an intent to cause alarm and distress; or, there might be some sexual connotation such as for the Common Law: 'Outraging public decency.
  Because of this Various County Police Forces use any handy Law which they can bend to fit.
  
  Bear in mind that while nudity makes sex convenient, nudity does not always precede sexual behaviour and the two are not necessarily concurrent.
  Anyone citing their wife, daughter, granny or whoever as being a victim is using their own sexual preconceptions rather than an actual complaint.
  
  Clothing is for protection and convention.
  This man obviously feels that he needs no protection and is oblivious of convention.
  There are more dangerous people abroad on our streets, but because they outwardly 'conform' then no-one notices, until it all goes wrong.

  A+ would read again!
  
  The automatic assumption of a sexual reason for nudity, speaks volumes about those making the assumption."
