A man walking down a Callaway street spotted a Bay County Sheriff’s deputy and ran away. The deputy caught up to the man and observed that the man’s pants were unbuttoned and unzipped but the man’s genitals were covered. The man provided the deputy with his driver’s license and told the deputy that a friend had given him a ride to a location in the are and he had gotten lost on his way home. The deputy asked for the friend’s name but the man refused to answer any further questions.
The deputy arrested the man for loitering and prowling because of high incidents of crime in the area and because the man “was unable to dispel my believe (sic) that he was attempting to purchase illegal narcotics, commit a theft or looking for windows to peep into.”

I’ll agree the fellow was improperly attired, probably doing something he ought not to do. But where is any evidence? Is it illegal now, to be walking at night? Once again, Ray Bradbury predicts the future. Read “The Pedestrian,” from 1951:
