Okay, when I read the first paragraph of this (a news story about a guy who got in trouble for watching porn on his car dvd player) I'll admit I laughed out loud. But then I was pissed off. Isn't what I do in my car my own business? I mean, I understand that there is a reason to restrict doing this where it's obvious, but as long as you're discreet, why can't I have sex or watch porn in my own car? It's my damn car, I bought it, I pay taxes on it, it's my property just like my house is. I can do these things in my house, can't I? Though hub informs me that if I do them loudly enough I can get the cops called on me for disturbing the peace, but that's a different matter.

But Michigan State Police, who have not had any cases of in-car porn, say playing an X-rated movie might not be easy to prosecute unless it can be proved that the motorist intended for others to see it.

I think that's important. It's like the difference between me standing at a ground-floor window flashing passers-by, and me walking around naked in my apartment and someone happening to catch a glimps through the blinds.
