Summary
Unwanted tickling, even if it causes laughter, can be considered harassment or assault if done without consent. While tickling is legal with consent, without it, the act may be reportable to authorities. If you experience such behavior, consider discussing it with local authorities or the establishment where it occurred to prevent future incidents.Full Conversation
