you had to know some bozo would pop in some porn to keep him entertained during his commute. A Tampa Bay TV station has reported that one Tracy Pope was pulled over in Aiken, South Carolina for just such an offense. While our understanding of the legal use of porn in private is touchy at best, it seems kind of obvious that sharing your taste in blue movies with the rest of the drivers around you will only attract the men in blue.
Officers said that Pope was pulled over while playing an X-rated DVD on his in-car video system, which amounts to a felony disseminating or promoting obscenity charge based on the argument that minors could have easily been exposed to the porn by looking into the vehicle through the uncovered windows.
I can get behind the notion of charging this dipshit with some kind of reckless beahvior while driving, since he's probably paying closer attention to the damn video than he is to the road...
but felony obscenity charges? notice the SC police were afraid that kids COULD have seen the porn, not that anyone DID see the porn.
the next step would be prosecuting someone for watching porn in his/her/their own living room where a minor could "innocently" be peeking through their window.
