Yes, it's an issue of privacy.
The "you can take pictures at a public event" won't work here. At a public event, you can't just walk up to folks and take pictures of their body
parts (clothed or not.) You can take crowd shots if you like, but no ambling up, snapping, and ambling off.
That's what this guy was doing. He would have gotten the same fine if he'd walked up to guys and took pictures of the crotches of the ones in
Speedos.
And no, not all nudists (some of my family members are nudists) are exhibitionists. In fact, MOST of them are people that you young guys wouldn't
want to look at in the nude.
