Britpick Question

[amberfocus]

Legally what would a citation of public indecency or lewd behavior be called in Britain if a certain amorous couple did something in public that they perhaps should not be doing?

Indecent exposure may or may not be an issue...

There's "outraging public decency", which is a commonlaw offence, but there isn't really a term I can think of. You could always have the copper all "Well, you got carried away,so I'll let you off with a caution this time", thus cunningly avoiding naming the offence ;)

Okay, thank you.
