Exposing sex in America. Community concern or municipal intrusion?

Description

Arrested for allegedly lewd conduct in a park, a man commits suicide after his name and photo are published in the newspaper. The Chippendales, a burlesque entertainment troupe, is taken to jail when some members are charged with having made suggestive pelvic movements during a show. A store that sells sex toys is now barred from offering its merchandise unless customers sign a waiver that they are buying items for medical reasons. Are these stories examples of community concern for the safety and moral values of society or municipal intrusions into personal privacy? John Stossel weighs in on the question in this ABC News program.
