   goo lord lad, this is an old chestnut that keeps popping up.....the
   sole grain of truth to this is that one person once got a ticket for
   indecent exposure becuase he took a whiz in front of a cop, and even
   then I believe the ticket was later rescinded. An Old ranger friend
   of mine tells this story from about 4 years ago......
   The  Sheriff  of Pershing County and his newest deputy were partolling
   on
   the  first  day  and the deputy's eyes were popping out of his head at
   all
   the things he should be making an arrest for....finally an exasperated
   sherriff looked at his Deputy and said "son you're right, how many
   people around this one area do you suppose we can arrest?" the Deputy
   looked and quickly counted about 60 or so people. The Sherriff then
   said "and our jail can hold about 7, so unless you want to invite the
   rest of them to stay at your place......"
   If you've been to the playa you would understand, but there is no way
   the Police can make arrests for public nudity, do the math, 25,000
   burners >50 cops............nuff said
