Hello and thank you for the opportunity to assist you. There may be a slight delay between your follow ups and my replies as I am typing out my answer. Please remember that this is general information only, not legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is formed.

Under AZ 13-1402, a person commits indecent exposure if he or she exposes his or her genitals or anus or she exposes the areola or nipple of her breast or breasts and another person is present, and the defendant is reckless about whether the other person, as a reasonable person, would be offended or alarmed by the act.

Notice that the statute does not state whether or not it matters that you are on private property while another person is present! The important phrase is whether or not "reckless about whether the other person, as a reasonable person, would be offended or alarmed by the act..."

The rule of thumb that the authorities have been going with is this:

-if you are in your own home and the blinds are closed, then you can be nude.
-if you are in your own back yard and have a reasonable expectation of no one interrupting you unless they go out of your way to peek into your property, then you can be nude.
-if you are in your own back yard but have a very open fence or no fence at all, then you cannot be nude.

Here, we build upon this logic: "Other than people that jog and walk the canal that can see in my yard..."

I am afraid that there, you may have an issue. You know that people are going to see you, and the prosecutor can argue that this reckless in that a reasonable jogger is bound to see you and be offended/alarmed.

Of course, this is open to interpretation and ultimately, the question is put to a jury that may decide that you are not - in fact - guilty. But the case is there that the DA may charge you even if you are on your own property, since you are basically guaranteeing that individuals walking past will see you.

While the legal system tries to be inclusive of every possibility, sometimes people have limited avenues to seek relief. Please understand that this is not the expert’s fault. Surely, you prefer that I tell you the truth rather than what you wish to hear. Please keep this in mind when rating my answer. I understand that this may not be easy to hear, and I empathize.
