Introduction: This is a story of the first guy convicted to PN (PermanentNude) punishment. PN is a legal punishment in which the convicted person has to leave all the clothes and remain stark naked for a specific period. Read how he was trapped into this situation and how he felt as soon as his worst day of his life begun. Driving at 4 kph more than the speed limit and a sequence of facts that can happen only once in a million altogether, transformed a small fine of 20 USD to an 1-year PN punishment for the pour guy of our story.
Friday morning: The nightmare begins
Last Friday seemed to be a normal day of my life. I woke up at 7:00 in the morning and I got prepared to get to my work. As usual, I had a 20 minutes drive by bus or subway before arriving at the premises of the company I am working for. I usually take the public transport but this morning, I don't know why, I decided to drive to work by car, although the weather was nice and I was not late. Unexpectedly, although it was 7:40 am, one of the worst hours to drive in the city center, there was almost no traffic at the streets, and at some point, without realizing it, I exceeded the speed limit of the city center. I was driving by 54 kph with a speed limit of 50. A police car was at the next corner of the street and they signaled me to stop at the right side of the road.
-Good morning sir, police officer said.
-Good morning, I replied.
-Can I have your papers please?
-Sure, I said, and I gave my driving license.
-You are driving by 54 kph. You exceeded the speed limit and we have to impose you a fine of 20 USD.
-I am sorry for that, but I didn't realize it. It was just 4 kph. Not a big deal.
-Seriously? He asked me angrily. Just 4 kph? Ok Mr, if you think it is not a big deal, go to the court and explain it to the judge.
So instead of imposing the fine, the police officer prepared the paper for the court and submitted it electronically into the system. For such misdemeanor cases, of low significance, the person should appear to the court the next working day, that was next Monday for my case. A lawyer is not required in such cases. I continued frustrated my drive to my work, but without even expecting the nightmare that would follow.
I finished my work in the afternoon and I drove back home. After I finished my lunch, I did my favorite habit. I opened my tablet to read the daily news. While I was scrolling down, I read a very strange news. The city council was thinking to implement Permanent Nudity as a way of punishment. The subject was proposed for discussion by a city councilor. At this point I have to mention something about the city law. Every proposal for discussion and voting should have at least the signature of 1o councilors in order to be raised for discussion. Exceptionally, every councilor has the right to raise one point for discussion without any other signature once during the 4-years service. Consequently the proposal for the PN punishment would be discussed in the forthcoming meeting, which was on Saturday morning. I shut down my tablet and I laughed at this news. Stupid people, I said to my self. What did he have in mind when he raised this as point of discussion? What does he expect to happen? Does he ever expect to set nudity as a way of punishment?
At night, I went to sleep without even thinking about that silly news that I read. I only felt a little bit anxious about the forthcoming court. But I shouldn't be. I just have to be there on Monday morning, I will pay a small fine and that's it.
Saturday morning: The big surprise
On Saturday morning I woke up and I got prepared for the weekend. Some shopping, supermarket etc. Last week was a difficult week at work and I had to rest a little bit during weekend. While I was following my routine, in the conference room of the town hall, the points of the daily agenda were discussed. The first issue to be discussed, was the proposal for PN punishment. As it was expected, there were many objections and arguments by most of the city councilors. Despite that, there were 2-3 more councilors that found the idea interesting, and that it was worth to at least try it. In order to avoid additional conflicts and to save time for more urgent matters of the agenda, the majority of the council took a strange decision. They would impose a PN punishment to one guy or girl, for one year as a test and they would discuss again the issue after one year. With this decision, they stopped the discussion about this point and they made sure that it wouldn't be discussed again for the next one year. The choice of the person would be done randomly, among the forthcoming courts. No nature of crime was clarified. It could be for any person that was found guilty for whatever reason.
