A nudist fined in Spain for showing up naked at a police station (4 photos)
Alejandro Colomar, a well-known nudist from Valencia, is known for his constant litigation with various authorities over his right to walk naked in public. However, the Spanish Supreme Court has decided to fine him. 
The Criminal Chamber of the Spanish Supreme Court has finally upheld the conviction of 29-year-old Spaniard Alejandro Colomar. He was fined for disobeying law enforcement officers when he arrived at the police station naked, according to local publication BURGOSconecta.
Journalists report that in August 2020, Colomar went to a police station in the city of Valencia. He planned to file a complaint against someone, but instead arrived naked, wearing only his shoes and a backpack containing his clothes.
When police asked Colomar to dress, he refused, claiming he had the right to be naked. Law enforcement then detained him, charged him with disturbing the peace, and fined him €1,080. 
The media reports that the nudist disagreed with the decision and filed an appeal. In it, he claimed his right to freedom of expression had been violated, but his appeal was rejected. The case then ended up in the Supreme Court of Spain.
The court's Criminal Chamber announced its verdict, upholding Colomar's fine. The judges argued that there were women in the police station who were "uncomfortable seeing a naked man." This forced the women to leave the building, confirming the police complaint of a public disturbance.
The media adds that Alejandro Colomar is a well-known advocate of nudism in Valencia. He has sued various organizations multiple times for his right to walk naked in public places. 
Spanish journalists point out that public nudity has been legal in Spain since 1988. However, individuals can be prosecuted if their actions constitute a public nuisance or if the perpetrators "provoke others with their nudity."
