Can you be Arrested for....?

...watching an X rated movie on a car DVD? I mean, after dark, you can see right into people's cars & watch along.
Additional Details
I see most car DVD's while rolling down the interstate at 70+ MPH. I would think a dirty movie may actually cause a traffic accident. :-D

Yes. I have seen many news reports about people being arrested for that. It is violation of public decency if people can see in your windows and you are watching x-rated movies. Of course, it depends on the laws in your area.

People have been arrested before for that type of conduct. I don't know if anybody has been convicted or if any courts have ruled on the constitutionality of those arrests.

Yes, I witnessed this and told some police friends of mine and they said they could be charged with a felony aside from living with being perpetually stupid.


huge001
Only if you are driving the car at the time I would have thought.


Grand Macaw
Only if you are NAKED!

=)

I dont think you can be arrested for that. The DVD is not displayed for public viewing (even if other drivers can see it)

no but you could probably get some kinda fine or something like that


just_the_facts_ma'am
Yes, or at least a citation. I remember a case in CA and I found another mentioned in TX, linked below

You might get a ticket.


greenwolf44
As far as I know, there's no law cocerning that, most likely because car DVD players haven't been around for very long.


49er fan
HA HA HA. My dad works for the local jail and he asked one of the oficers(SP) and he said that you only get a ticket. But if it's a guy cop you just might only get a warning;)


beeforyou2005
if you look into peoples car you can but if they let you, you cant or being disruptive.


Sunny

Depends on where the car is parked and if you are doing anything that most people do when they watch x rated movies
