Exposing yourself inappropriately in public is considered a criminal offense under California indecent exposure laws.

Overview of CA Indecent Exposure Laws
As mentioned above, the prosecution must prove that the defendant willfully exposed his or her private parts. Furthermore, the defendant must have intended to act for a lewd or obscene purpose – whether to direct attention to his or her genitals or to achieve sexual arousal or gratification – in a public area.
A first offense for indecent exposure may result in a misdemeanor, which is punishable by a maximum county jail sentence of six months and one year, as well as a fine of up to $1,000. A second-time or subsequent conviction for indecent exposure is considered a felony, punishable by 16 months, two or three years in county jail, a fine of up to $10,000, and registration with the state sex offender registry.
