Des Moines man, 85, is home for holidays in plea agreement... why should bail ever be 1,000 dollars for someone showing someone else their junk? Its just a penis.

I represented a man who "mooned" his landlord. The landlord, a woman, was with her daughter. The underage daughter saw the man's junk. The prosecutor wanted him labeled as a "sex offender" in Florida. This is the same status a rapist gets. His life would have been hell with this legal status. Welcome to Florida. (I retired before the end of the case)

I think if someone "showed" someone their junk, deliberately, that it would be a sexual crime, and would be worthy of strict punishment in some cases. This guy was just going out to get his newspaper in the nude and some vindictive woman called him in.

1000 dollars is not really that high of a bail, it's really only a $100 (10%) fee to hire a bondsman, like the article says. It also mentions that it took him a long time to get out of jail because he didn't know the PIN for the phones. I can personally attest that the PIN is usually something really obscure incorporating several different numbers, and is never told to you by the police; you have to count on a fellow inmate letting you know.
