No Porn In Your Car

A bill which would have outlawed adult entertainment on vehicle video screens has been defeated in the Assembly Public Safety Committee. Assemblyman John Benoit (R-Palm Desert) says his bill, supported by the conservative Traditional Values Coalition and California Family Alliance, was pro-family but not anti-adult entertainment.

“If you want to play a pornographic film in the privacy of your own home or your own bedroom, that’s your business,” he said. “But when you display it where people can see it while they’re driving, that’s inappropriate. Try to explain to your 5-year-old what he just saw when he wonders, ‘Why was that man doing that to that woman?’ It’s a hard thing.”

Kat Sunlove, FSC Legislative Affairs Director, opposed the bill and testified on behalf of FSC. She said the bill didn’t restrict only DVDs, and would have improperly required drivers to monitor the reading, listening and viewing habits of their passengers. “I want drivers to be focused on the roadnot on whether a kid half a car length behind them is looking into their car,’’ she said.

I have to say that I do not feel that porn should be viewed in public. I feel it goes against what so many in the adult industry believe that children should not be exposed to pornography. The bill may have gone beyond reasonable expectations on this point, but as far as porn in public, I feel while nudity is all right, actual sex acts should not be shown in front of children.
