Drive-By-Porn Becoming An Epidemic?
from the keep-your-eyes-on-the-damn-road dept
Earlier this year we wrote about efforts to make it illegal to have pornographic videos showing on in-car video screens. Apparently, the issue has been getting a lot more attention lately, and even its own name: drive-by porn. Those against it claim that it distracts drivers and children shouldn't be able to see such things. While I agree that children shouldn't be able to see such things, the argument about drivers is ridiculous. The driver should have his or her eyes on the road, not on some video screen. Besides, every time I've seen another car on the road with an in-car video screen, it's usually quite small and difficult to make out what's on the screen. Anyone paying that much attention to those screens in other cars shouldn't be driving. Either way, it seems like there are probably a lot more important things that the highway patrol should be protecting us from than drive-by porn.

If I tape a photo, or for that matter airbrush a really photo-realistic scene, on my automobile that's distracting in a lewd sort of way... is that legal?

Yes, definitely should be looking at the road, but if you see a lit screen during the evening hours on the way home, you often find yourself unconsciously looking at it. Its why I find even those Auto Plaza giant monitors kind of annoying, in that there ALWAYS seems to be slowdown next to them, and you can often see people's heads craning as they drive past.

It Should Be Illegal
Um... maybe the parents who are driving and aren't really able to pay much attention are worried about the kids, who aren't driving and have plenty of time/opportunity/curiousity. Now-a-days it could even be a so called R-rated movie which you just happen to drive by at the wrong time. Or maybe you're sitting at the stoplight that goes on for minutes.....
