Driving With The Top Down Frowned On
Driving with the top down – and the bottoms off – when the vehicle operator isn't in a convertible, is illegal most places. It certainly is in Southern Illinois:
Police arrested Justin Flora, 34, of Marion, Ill., on Monday and charged him with two counts of public indecency after several female motorists reported him driving without a stitch of clothing.
Police Chief Jeff Tharp says Flora said he just liked to drive unencumbered to check out the ladies.
Tharp says Flora insisted he didn't mean to offend any one in the southern Illinois town of 8,200.
Dude, it's Illinois, not Brattleboro. Of course, it does appear to be spreading west, doesn't it?
"Unencumbered to check out the ladies." Well, it's original. Stupid, but original.

I suppose the ACLU will be jumping to his defense any moment know claiming that he had a “reasonable expectation of privacy” in his private automobile…

I would not be surprised in the least if they do.

“Unencumbered to check out the ladies.” – At least he’s an honest pervert.

As cold as it was Monday up in Illinois, he was probably uncucumbered to check out the ladies.
