You're surprised that that can be a felony when streakers can be required to register as sex offenders?

They might never get charged or just get cited but it's certainly a possible felony charge.

*Aka public lewdness or sexual misconduct
They could easily be hit by the city and county of Los Angeles separately as well as California. There wouldn't be any evidence without the pictures people took, and those pictures could harm the photographer as well. This is why naked pictures of yourself or others on your phone and sent out is not the brightest idea.

Some examples from LA County

Misdemeanor is mentioned here, not felony http://search.municode.com/html/1627...ORMERS_.html#1

Didn't see anything for the city, though they are serious about overdue library books, the playing of a hurdy gurdy on a city street, the minimum amount of light required in a restaurant, and using a water closet or toilet for anything but a toilet. The County Code is mentioned a lot.

State Code is mostly misdemeanor, but there are mentions of felonies if someone was convicted for a similar act before.
