Streaking is a fun little thing to most people but it’s easy to forget that the act of running down the street with your genitals flapping in the wind is illegal in most areas. So one cop in Minnesota took a stand.

Streaking down the football field in St. Francis is no laughing matter. It’s a crime.

St. Francis High School students have been disciplined for streaking at three Saints football games this season, and one of the teenagers could be charged with criminal sexual conduct because of his nudity. The 17-year-old’s arrest at the Sept. 25 homecoming game brought angry students out of the stands.

“It was on the edge of being out of control,” said Police Chief Jeff Harapat. “More than 500 kids surrounded the two officers, swearing, throwing pop bottles and tennis shoes. … I guess they were upset that one of their fellow students was being arrested.”

“At what level of a crime does that stop? For example, if you’re at McDonald’s and having a Happy Meal with your kids and some adult male gets kicked out because he isn’t wearing a shirt. And he obviously isn’t right in the head and he goes outside, pulls his pants down and pushes his butt up against the glass while you’re eating. … Now tell me what the difference is when we fill a stadium with parents, minor children, and some very small children and we have naked people running across the field,” he said.
