The fact that rights have to be constitutional is a little overwhelming. No, I don't think it is worthy enough to be one.

Mooning as a "mild political act?" haha If I were a politician, I'd at least hope to see women's boobs flashed at me if they wanted to protest. Constitutional right? Nope.

No, but it should be my right to see any man's ass I choose.

Well, if such alternative forms of communication are protected under the constitution in Australia, i applaud your country. Here in the states, if Anyone sees your butt, reproductive organs, or breasts, you get taken to jail.

I don't know if you'd go to jail for mooning someone in America, not unless you did it to cops or kids or something. But definitely if anything else shows, that's indecent exposure which has quite a hefty fine and the possibility of jail.

I'd say as long as exposing your buttocks isn't expressly prohibited under some other law (such as a public indecency act), then as a form of political expression it should be legal. However, if it would otherwise be illegal, then it should remain illegal even used to express political opinions - and I'd be proud (and a bit amused) to know someone who went to jail for baring their ass.

It shouldn't be a constitutional right. Mooning isn't appropriate anywhere. It's immature.

I think it should be a right. It is a form of expression. Someone just needs to step up in the US if caught, and make the argument. Of course then, they would always look at the context. For example flashers who expose themselves to make others uncomfortable would not be protected.

nobody wants to see some 80 year old hippie mooning someone because it's become a constitutional right. then again, if i was going to be charged 100 dollars for mooning a cop i'd probably say something like that too, anything to get out of it.

I don't remember reading anything about the larrikin Australian character or mooning in the Australian constitution. Nor do I recall reading anything that could be intepreted as a constitutional right to moon someone.
