Woman run over after calling police on couple having car sex

[unblock]

64. good grief! so many people here are flippant about flagrant fornication in front of five-year olds!

whether or not there were any actual children around, there's a very reasonable expectation that children might be able to see you if you're having sex in public in a motel parking lot. in fact it's even worse in a motel parking lot vs. most others because time of day doesn't help. in the parking lot of a closed supermarket at 3am, you might have an argument that no kids should be able to see you, but in a motel parking lot families on long treks arrive or leave at all hours.

if this is ok where do you draw the line? should couples be able to strip and screw anytime, anywhere? is the park ok? how about on a school playground? or is there something magical about a car that makes it ok even though anyone can peer in?


to my read, the couple did at least 3 things wrong:
1) nudity/sex in public
2) resisting (citizen's) arrest
3) intentionally driving in a way that they knew would cause harm to a pedestrian.


now, i agree that i, at least, would not have risked my body to facilitate an arrest for the police, but i certainly can't agree with all those who are blaming the victim here. her decision to effect a citizen's arrest and stand in front of the car in no way legitimizes the behavior of the copulating couple.
