"Of course when a naked lady walks by, it's hard to see anybody

That question of course is answered by the photograph sent to the
Sentinel by a reader showing a police officer on a bicycle riding
past the woman as if she were, well, clothed.

According to the California Penal Code, indecent exposure
is a misdemeanor, but according to case law simply walking
down the street naked doesn't meet the elements of the penal code.

"We can't arrest that person right there. that is not against the law

But Santa Cruz police spokesman Zach Friend said "If we gave a
citation for every one of Santa Cruz's idiosyncrasies, we'd be
swimming in an ocean of citations."

....

the second photo is after the policeman on the bike simply passed
her and both went on their merry way."

Update: Motorcyclist killed on Oregon 11 identified
Posted by The Oregonian July 20, 2008 11:57AM

Oregon State Police have identified a motorcyclist killed in a collision
with a pickup on Oregon 11 at the Athena Junction in northeast Oregon
Saturday.

David Larry Sundstrom, 61, died at the scene. His wife Jeanine Carolyn
Sundstrom, 52, remains in critical condition at St. Mary Medical Center
in Walla Walla, Wash. The Puyallup, Wash. couple were wearing helmets at
the time of the accident.

Hans Schroeder, 40, of Athena was traveling north and making a left turn
when his pickup was struck in the front bumper by a southbound
motorcycle, according to a release by the Oregon State Police. Schroeder
and two female passengers, ages 19 and 20, were not injured.

State police troopers from Pendleton are continuing the investigation
with the Umatilla County District Attorney's Office.

Another, left turn collision and an "Honest officer, I never saw the
motorcycle!" moment.

Starting in the 15th century, Europeans discovered that the scientific
method paid off, sometimes with spectacular success. As a result,
we put a lot of faith in technology.

Sometimes, too much:

My first thought was, it's uncanny how much this looks like
a Bonneville. But then, perhaps it and the Bonneville are both
instantiations of a particularly good abstract motorcycle type which
I suppose would be named British Roadster, although a more whimsical
choice might be Spagthorpe Lurcher.

The lurcher is a functional type, not a breed and has an interesting
social history. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lurcher

The Spagthorpe Lurcher would be a cross between a nimble, robust working
type (Border Collie) and an all-out racer (Spagthorpe Greyhound).

This time, it's my neighbor. I didn't know him personnally, but he
lived just a block or two down from me. There's only one guy who fits
the description of being 59yo and rides a harley so I know who it is.
And another sad thing is that he was killed by his neighbor who lives
on the same block as he did. He was killed just outside our
subdivision by his neighbor who failed to yield the right of way. This
is a 25mph road, too. Sad and a little too close to home. So close in
fact that people at work this morning thought it might be me.
