Motorists Spot X-Rated Films in Some Cars

DETROIT - Andrea Carlton hadn't planned on telling her daughter about the birds and bees until she was 8 or 9. But that changed the night 4-year-old Catherine spotted a porno movie flickering on a screen in a minivan nearby.
"Just like there's no windows in a strip club, you shouldn't be able to see inside windows in a car when they're watching X-rated movies," said Carlton, a 26-year-old from Gurnee, Ill.
More and more Americans are buying vehicles with DVD players, usually to keep the kids entertained. But an increasing number of other people on the road are catching a glimpse through the windows of more than just "Finding Nemo" and "SpongeBob SquarePants."
Depending on where they are driving or parked, motorists could face fines and even jail time for screening X-rated stuff. But where the law may not be clear, some are calling for tighter regulation.
"Residents should not be subjected to those obscenities," said Flint City Councilwoman Carolyn Sims, who is examining whether an ordinance packing a $500 fine is needed. "They do have a right to have peace and tranquility and not to have this exposure to sex in their face."
A driver in Schenectady, N.Y., was arrested last month after rolling past police with a DVD titled "Chocolate Foam" playing on the passenger-side sun visor in his Mercedes-Benz, authorities said. The movie also was rolling on screens set into the car's headrests.
The driver was accused of breaking state laws prohibiting watching TV while driving, as well as another law making it illegal to exhibit sexually explicit material in a public place.
"The detective had a clear view of what was playing through the window. Anyone walking by on the street could have see it," Schenectady police Lt. Peter Frisoni Jr. said of the nighttime traffic stop. "If he had dark, tinted windows where you couldn't see in, that wouldn't be a public display."
As for Carlton, she and her husband were driving in the Chicago suburb of Buffalo Grove when Catherine glimpsed the sexually explicit movie. The experience last fall upset the girl and angered Carlton.
Carlton and her husband sat down with Catherine and offered the best explanation they could. Since then, Carlton has spotted other motorists with explicit movies playing, including a couple watching from the back seat of their car in a store parking lot.
"You're not allowed to have sex in your car, so why are you allowed to watch it?" Carlton asked.
Most states, including Michigan, have laws that make it illegal to watch TV while driving. Laws governing the exhibition of pornography vary by state, but experts say they could be applied to drivers as well.
"I think those restrictions would apply if the content is located in a vehicle," said Jeff Matsuura, director of the law and technology program at the University of Dayton. "You have effectively moved beyond the privacy of your own home."
During the day, it is often difficult to see what is playing inside another vehicle. But at night, the screens are easily visible from a passing car or a vehicle stopped alongside at a traffic light. The screens are also getting bigger.
In Flint, Sims took up the issue after hearing from a woman who was driving with her 5-year-old when she spotted porn playing on a vehicle's 13-inch TV screen. A police officer who happened to see the display pulled over the driver, Sims said, but let him off with a warning.
To Sims, a 23-year police veteran who retired in 2001, playing an explicit movie in view of other motorists or pedestrians is akin to flashing or having sex in a public place.
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.
thats bullshit if i want to watch my porno in a car I will..ANd if I want to make it in the car I will do that as well!!!

I have been debating putting a TV in my truck. Is it illegal in California? Not that it would stop me, but just curious.
nope, its not illegal. just dont watch it when a cop is around. I have had one in for a few months
It's not illegal as long as there is other passengers in the vehicle. If it is just you, most cops get a little pissed.
A inattentive driving ticket, and / or obstructed vision ticket could follow.
Good to know. Watching a movie and driving may be a bit hard anyway.

But it certainly makes road trips better.
People shouldn't be driving by cars and watching their TVs anyway, they should keep their eyes on the road. I see no problem what so ever with it, you bought it, its in your personal car, for your audience, not for the MILF driving by. She's just jealous...she remembers her porn days
Roln 20s
OK, I'll bite.
Just what I want to do, be at a dead stop, stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, with my kids in the back seats and have some JACKASS showing porn on his visor. Don't tell my kids not to watch, turn it off you rude SOB.
Need a light, honey?
I wonder how you guys would feel if you were stuck in traffic at night and next to you was a car with several screens with a gay porno of me, my other brother Daryl, and Jimbo all given it to HOSS while riding his lawnmower?? And then we got into Scat (crapping on each other) and Water Sports (pissing on each other).
Yup, just don't watch.
