A woman from South Carolina will stand trial accused of breaking obscenity laws after driving her pickup truck with plastic testicles hanging from the back. Virginia Tice, 65, was ticketed in early July by Bonneau Police Chief Franco Fuda when he spotted the testicles dangling from her vehicle at a local convenience store. State law considers a bumper sticker or device indecent when it offensively describes "sexual acts, excretory functions, or parts of the human body", Reuters reports. The offence carries a maximum fine of $445 (£272) but no jail time. Fuda said: "This is certainly not a staple of my ticket writing in Bonneau. I don't know what they would be trying to express. "I went to [a] few websites that said, excuse the expression, 'show your nuts'. I didn't see anywhere it said support your local proctologist or farmer." Tice's attorney Scott Bischoff, from Charleston law firm Savage & Savage, said: "She's such a sweet lady and she just says, 'I don't want to pay the fine'. We'll let a jury decide whether this is really criminal behaviour. I don't want to take away from the importance of free speech, but it's really comical." From Digital Spy
Wouldn't have been the first nuts dangling in front of her face... And that **** of a sheriff has not been directly quoted.
