New Jersey: A state appellate court has upheld a New Jersey man’s conviction on an obscenity charge for watching porn videos on his iPad while sitting in his car outside a fast-food restaurant.
Police in Little Egg Harbor responded to the restaurant back in April 2014 after getting a complaint about David Lomanto’s, 53, activities.
According to authorities, Lomanto initially refused to leave his car, then repeatedly refused to show the officer his license or other identification.
He was charged with obstruction, and a count of public communication of obscenity was later filed.
He was convicted in May 2017 and sentenced to two concurrent one-year terms of probation and five days in jail, which he has served.
Lomanto claimed the definition of “publicly communicates” in the obscenity law is overly broad and that watching porn in the privacy of his car is protected under the U.S. Constitution.

WTF … i thought this was America! Freedom my ass!
Public ass freedom is illegal
If you’re watching it. What’s the issue? Should it be what you’re doing WHILE watching it?
I understand masterbating but just watching porn, shouldn’t be illegal
That will be overturned on appeal
Bruce Beyer appellate held up THAT was the appeal
Mike Pansulla Supreme Court, it’s obviously unconstitutional.
Taking our rights away from us???
Poor Ron Jeremy shouldn’t have his picture on this article lol… He didn’t do anything wrong….
Eve Sarah the Hedgehog!
Well maybe if they’d let us tint our windows like every other police cruiser. No one could see what you’re watching.
Right stop peeping in my windows CREEPS!
James Early it’s a crime.
Holy crap! This is what our clueless governor/ state officials worry about?! Don’t we have more to worry about in this state? And it says watching, not doing or filming or … WTF?! Hey NJ! Get off your asses and take care of real issues!????
No watching porn in your car but feel free to overdose on heroin in your car
Uhhh no. I don’t agree with what can happen while watching it in public, in public; but with that being said you can’t tell me what I can and can’t watch on my phone or whatever in my own property. That is grounds for revolution and the shitty government is already asking for it
Drew Lawrence this NEEDS to be taken to the Supreme Court. I totally agree with you. It’s not like thendude was masturbating in public. So if I went to show you an explicit video in public, that’s illegal now and I can be arrested?! Unbelievable ??♂️?
What if you live in a mobile … home ?
Jen Renee Aughtry hmmmm ?
????
What if your “porn” identifies as G rated???
In all seriousness I would rather the law be specific to making it illegal to watch in
any manner/place that child could possibly see it.
Rob Pompilio agree, should not be in public
?
Ruined my weekend plans. Darn.
Well fuck ??
YIKES!!!
Well my stops in the rest area just got shorter !
Mike Salimbene right there with you brother! Bahaha!
What a free country we live in
Well that should free up a lot of parking spots at the quick check!

now what the fuck am I gonna do
Looks like Ron Jeremy with a botched botox. Helpful hint: If you’re gonna wax on wax off in your whip, tint your windows #bowchickawowwow
Jennifer Bosco but he wasn’t jerking it. Just watching it.
So cant watch porn in your car, but feel free to bake your kid in it
Michael Christopher you’re gonna have to find a new way to spend your lunch.
Why shlong Jeremy?
Thank god I only watch while I’m driving.
You probably still watch it they say once you start you never stop it becomes an addiction
There goes my weekend plans
Does that mean no making porn in the car either? Asking for a friend? ?
So much for opening my Facebook messenger in public anymore ?
i bet if mutants watched it on their bicycle it wouldn’t be an issue Karinah ?
Wtf
No way!!!
No way that guy is 53!!!
Patricia Abate is that the guy arrested? It looks like it is Ron Jeremy
Patricia Abate I think that’s Ron Jeremy the porn king.
Ewwww
I wonder if the law also prohibits those people with 60” TVs from watching porn in their house, when their screen is visible to every car that passes? ??♀️
so if i watch it right outside of my car its no longer illegal?
Just do it in the privacy of your own home!!! What is so wrong with that???? ?
Oh brother
I’m sure he wasn’t just watching porn was probably beating off to
