Cop Stops S.C. Driver for 'Obscene' Accessory

[iluvmycsx]

Aww, nuts.
That's likely the tamer version of what Joe Cervantes-Rodriguez was thinking as he was pulled over in his Lincoln pickup truck by South Carolina police officers over the weekend.
It seems South Carolina has a law down there that bans displaying anything obscene from a motor vehicle. In his report, the officer involved noted:
"This vehicle was displaying an obscene object from the rear bumper. The object was a pair of large fleshy testicles. This item was flesh colored, anatomically correct, approximately the size of a softball, and in clear view of the public and other motorist." If you want to see the incident report, click here.
Beyond that indignity, though, Joe was unable to provide a driver's license, so even though he removed the offending appendage — a pair of "truck nuts"— he spent the night in jail until he posted $237.50 bond the next day. He only got a warning for his "display."
Justice may still be his one day, though. The Associated Press reports that a 65-year-old South Carolina woman, Virginia Tice, is challenging that very obscenity law. She was hit with a $445 ticket for displaying truck nuts on her pickup last summer.

Perhaps it reminded him the time he was brutally t-bagged as a kid?

Funny, you can bring your kids to a zoo and see balls hanging down all over the place and even mating at times....yet people get their panties in a bunch over truck nuts???

Those were my exact thoughts...not to mention all of the nudity in museums in the exhibits for art, animals and evolution of people. I don't understand people sometimes.

LOL! This truck could probably drive over the cop car tea-bagging it in the process!
