Typical nature of the offence

[edit]

The article doesn't really give a good impression of what sort of conduct constitutes "outraging public decency" according to case law. Some more examples would be helpful. Hairy Dude (talk) 05:49, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Outside England and Wales

[edit]
  • "Outraging public decency" exists in Oklahoma (see this news report), but it is statutory (21 OK Stat § 21-22 (2014)).
  • There is currently a pending prosecution for outraging public decency in Melbourne, with a question as to whether the offence exists: according to this news report, it has previously been charged in Australia.
  • A citation for Hong Kong would be helpful.

I've add some contents regarding the laws of Hong Kong. Could be more, but too busy to do more. And, the content regarding history and statistics (i.e. usage) of the offence could be more -- (Dasze) 17:32, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
