An obscure law sends one local lingerie store clerk to jail. And now she may forever have to register as a sex offender.
Pathetic.
Earlier this month, four officers raided the shop, confiscating several toys deemed to be illegal by the Texas penal code. The code states "a person who possesses six or more obscene devices is presumed to possess them with intent to promote the same." In other words, intent to sell.
This is what pisses me off:
According to state law, it’s illegal to sell obscene devices with the intention of sexual gratification. But what is an obscene device and who`s going to be the judge of that?
Exactly!
He says obscenity laws have been on the books as long as they`ve had books as a way of protecting the community from what he calls the secondary effects of obscenity which are child pornography, money laundering and prostitution.
Oh, yeah, bring in the "protect the children" argument again. Give me a fucking break.

Sad sad sad. However, gotta laugh that they confiscated "several toys deemed to be illegal by the Texas penal code".
Sex toys and penal codes. Hee hee.
I know... "grow up" ;)
God damn, that's funny!
I was too pissed off earlier to see the humor. Thanks!
