AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The Dutch Labour party wants to
pass a law making unsolicited toe-licking an offence
after police were unable to prosecute a would-be
Casanova with a taste for female toes because he had
committed no crime.

A police spokesman said on Friday a man had been
detained after women sunning themselves in Rotterdam's
parks and beaches claimed he would sneak up on them
and begin to lick their toes.

"The officers had to let him go. Licking a stranger's
toes is rather unusual but there is really nothing
criminal about it," the spokesman said.

Dutch press reports said the man, who is about 35, had
been licking the toes of strangers for about three
years but was only recently caught by police.

Peter van Heemst, a Labour member of parliament, asked
Christian Democrat Justice Minister Piet Hein Donner
on Friday to explain why Dutch laws forbid littering
but not uninvited toe-licking. van Heemst demanded an
amendment prohibiting it.

"It is a violation of one's privacy and one's physical
integrity," he told a local news agency. "The norm...
is that no one should touch your body if you haven't
asked them first."

A spokesman for Donner said the minister could not
immediately comment.
