Hm, I’ve dedicated more of this blog to old people driving than I ever intended, so I might as well present this:
89-Year-Old Man Busted for Driving While Naked
Ew.
John Welday, 89, was arrested and charged with public indecency after being caught by police cruising in the buff for the third time, WTVO-TV reports.
The third time. THIRD TIME. Had he been drunk the first time, he’d probably already be serving life in prison. Had he been speaking on a cell phone, he probably would have received two life sentences.
Not only was Welday driving while naked, he was carting around more than 100 pictures of himself sporting nothing but his birthday suit.
Police Chief Barry Carpenter of Martins Ferry, Ohio, said there is nothing illegal about the pictures, but he is worried Welday may have been leaving the photos in public places.
“We find concern with it when he is traveling past a park where children are known to frequent,” Welday said.
I have an idea! Whether it’s ever proved that he left any naked pictures in public places, and whether it’s ever proved that he gave those pictures to children or exposed himself, have a judge declare him a sex offender anyway. Make his last few years a living hell. All accused or suspected sex offenders should suffer because of the seriousness of the charge and not the nature of the evidence, right?
I patiently wait for someone from the AARP, or a similar asshat, to defend the right of old people to drive naked.

I thought you might appreciate this story. They don’t say, but I’m sure she was there to renew her license.

what the hell is your problem? you saying everyone even suspected of sex offending should be punished? what about the couple of 17 year olds who have sex. one of them turns 18 and they do it again. all of a sudden hes a sex offender. that would be a bunch of bull shit. and you know what? thats a true story. what the hell you mean they should suffer because of the charge and not the evidence? its asshits like you that sent america to hell.

You’re missing my point. I’m on the same side as you. I’m illustrating the stupidity behind our hysterical, illogical laws and their arbitrary application by being absurd but plausible.
You probably missed the link in the text, but in Ohio, a judge can declare an accused person as a sex offender without a criminal conviction. I oppose that with every cell in my body, and I think (as I believe I’ve said) that Ohioans should be marching on the capital this moment with torches and pitchforks to get that law reversed, if they give a damn about freedom and justice.

he is almost 90 for christ sake, you dont need to send him to fucking prizon, maybe just a nursing home. at 90 i think it is OK if you have brain problems, especially if the average age of death is about 75 - 80 in this area of the world. maybe you are thinking what the fuck is going on in thi guys head, if you are not then maybe you should coz e is probably thinking that he is just living what he has got left of his life to the max.
