However, when fundamental liberties are at stake, the test in a free society is whether there are “less drastic means” available to accomplish the government’s purpose .... The government may deal directly with masturbation in public picture arcades by persons who know or should know of the presence of others who may be offended by such conduct by arresting and prose- curing them .... The record before this court fails to show either that criminal activity is particularly acute at picture arcades or that it is prevalent between the hours of 2 a.m. and 9 a.m.”
