Wisconsin Fights Car Flasher
Police in West Bend, Wisc., have charged a 40-year-old man with lewd and lascivious behavior as well as disorderly conduct after the man put pictures of his genitals on cars parked by women at stores in the area. The man charged with the indirect flashing, one Jeffrey J. Hein, was charged with leaving the pictures behind at the Wal-Mart, Kmart, and a beauty-supply store in the town. Hein says he was merely trying to play a joke on the women and thought they might find it funny, the Associated Press reports. He also admits that some of the women laughed at the pictures when they recovered the shots from their car windshields.
Car-Washing Cheerleaders or Hookers? You Make The Call (I'll take hookers for $200 Alex...)
In Nevada, it's apparently a narrow legal line between high-school cheerleaders and other women who wear the same costumes for pay. What does this have to do with cars, you ask? Nothing until recently, when the Nevada State Supreme Court sat down to consider whether a new law could result in innocent civilians being prosecuted for violating anti-prostitution statutes. According to the law, police can arrest someone who "repeatedly beckons to, stops, attempts to stop or engage persons passing by in conversation, or repeatedly stops or attempts to stop motor vehicle operators by hailing, waiving of arms or other bodily gestures," KRNV-Reno reports-for example, when cheerleaders solicit customers for a car wash. The justices are weighing whether an overzealous police officer could interpret that to include the more wholesome crowd and charge the girls with loitering for the purpose of prostitution.
