If you do something indecent in a public place, you can go to prison for up to 2 years. You can be charged if you do something indecent where people can see you, even if you are not right in front of them. This includes places like parks, streets, and public buildings.

If you are charged with doing something indecent in public, you might have a defence if you can prove you thought no one would see you. This means you need to show you had a good reason to believe you were not being watched. You need to prove this to avoid being in trouble.

A public place can be somewhere like a train, bus, or ferry that people pay to use. It can also be a plane or any other vehicle that carries passengers for a fee. These are all considered public places where you should not do indecent acts.
