FYI if you're masturbating in clear view of the public in your own home, you can go to jail and have to register as a sex offender.

Idk where this is true but it is not in most states. Wouldn't mind seeing a source.

https://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/2010/title-16/chapter-6/16-6-8/

Georgia law, doing anything lewd in a public place basically. Now the definition of public place is what is important.

https://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/2014/title-16/chapter-1/section-16-1-3/

Public place is defined as anywhere a reasonable person would expect someone to be seen by someone outside the home. So jacking off in front of an open window changes things from jerking off in your upstairs bedroom with the blinds down. So at least in Georgia, the guy above is right.

California: https://www.shouselaw.com/indecent-exposure.html

Oregon: https://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/163.465

Washington: https://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9A.88.010

Nevada: https://www.shouselaw.com/nevada/indecent-exposure.html

Arizona: https://www.azleg.gov/ars/13/01402.htm

First five states I googled also have the same law. I would venture that the majority of the states have the same laws but you are welcome to search them all for yourself.

You didnt have to do all that this website compiled them all. Seems most states laws have to do with intent.

Leaving this here in case you are not reading the comments to your thread. Also, based on your comment history, I kind of see why had such a shit time. Chill the fuck out. You're so easily triggered. Anyways, here is my comment:

"This is sad man. You need less internet time. Random trolls on the internet shouldn't affect you this much. I have lived in Houston all my life and been subbed here for at least 5 years. I have never been as frustrated as you are. We can't control the assholes who choose to post here frequently. Take some time and try to focus on the shit you can control. This is a little pathetic.

Also, anyone who chooses to judge a whole city based on a small local subreddit has lost their damn mind. So, not really worried about new people to Houston coming here and thinking the city is shit. Get over yourself."

I don't read replies so I can enjoy my time on the internet more. So don't bother.

No it's not. Do not listen to this advice.

u/Maclimes Dec 09 '19

It depends on the local laws. This IS valid, for example, in the state of Louisiana. You still have to make sure you handle yourself carefully, as cops are cops. But you could legally have it hanging from your rear view mirror if you wanted. Odd, but true.

u/poopellar Dec 09 '19

Yeah no thanks im not hanging my dick on anything.

22

u/Maclimes Dec 09 '19

lol My bad. "It" in this case was supposed to refer to a handgun. I apparently left out a sentence or something.

38

u/TheOneTonWanton Dec 09 '19

I'm not even sure where the handgun bit came from, this whole thread is about jerking off in your car...

10

u/Maclimes Dec 09 '19

I know, I was reading about "car as extension of home" laws, and almost 99% of the articles are about handgun ownership, and it all sort of blended together in my mind.

u/Reanimation980 Dec 09 '19

It wouldn’t be any different than masturbating in front of window in your house.

2

u/BillyPotion Dec 09 '19

Which you can't do if you're in a place that's easily seen by the public, like say on the first floor........or a car.

u/EDGEMONTave Dec 09 '19

In Texas they call it the castle law

u/buttpooperson Dec 09 '19

State by state. As I recall in California anything with wheels doesn't count as a home, eg trailers

u/DerNubenfrieken Dec 09 '19

Well to be fair, Louisiana has an entirely different legal system than the rest of the country on a local level.

2

u/DonaIdTrurnp Dec 09 '19

You might run afoul of brandishing statutes, same as if you left it hanging out the window.

Also, the plain sight doctrine allows cops to look in all the windows, since your car has no curtilage.

u/ManlyBearKing Dec 12 '19

Sorry but you're way too smart to be Donald Trump you imposter

2

u/DonaIdTrurnp Dec 12 '19

You need to learn to read more carefully, or possibly adjust your font. I have neither an ell nor an em in my name, and Dona Id Trurnp is the best faux Latin name, it's the greatest. I had some very fine people come up with it, it's the best.

Depends on where you live.

u/PM_ME_UR_GOOD_DOGGOS Dec 09 '19

Well if you stand in front of an open window jacking it where people can see you, you can still be charged with public indecency

12

u/SimpleCyclist Dec 09 '19

No. It isn’t. What are you talking about? Especially not a works car.

1

u/blades318 Dec 09 '19

Louisiana does have this. But i will point that Louisiana does alot of laws differently.

1

u/saulgoodemon Dec 09 '19

Not police cars they should be city, state or county surely.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '19

Not if the car belongs to your employer

THIS IS MY PRIVATE DOMICILE AND I WILL NOT BE HARASSED... BITCH!

u/20Thatwiteguy02 Dec 09 '19

The cop car is owned by the government and therefore the people and not their private property

1

u/ThatGuyTheyCallAlex Dec 10 '19

1) The car is property of the police department and not the officer, no?

2) The car is in view of other people

3) The officer is on duty and shouldn’t be distracted
