Mother charged for driving 'pole dancing car'

Mother charged for driving 'pole dancing car'

A mother-of-two has been arrested for allegedly driving a car with a pole dancer painted on it.

Erica Meredith, 25, from Indianapolis, has been charged with disseminating matter harmful to minors.

The 1976 Buick belongs to her boyfriend

Patrol officer Kevin Kerns pulled over Meredith after spotting a broken tail light.

He wrote in his report: "Applying contemporary standards, displays a theme which appeals to the prurient interest of sex."

The painting shows a naked dancer being watched by two men. She is also charged with driving with a suspended licence and exhibition of obscene material, both misdemeanours.

Meredith told the Indystar daily that the car is registered in her name, but belongs to her boyfriend, Keyon Johnson. She says she does not like the painting of the dancer but was forced to use the vehicle to drive one child to hospital and pick the other up from school because the transmission had failed on her car.

Meredith and Johnson said the car usually sits locked in a garage and only makes an appearance at custom cars events.

Johnson added that he spent more than £3,500 pounds on customising the car that has now been impounded.

Well, folks.

There is a thing called decency. When indecency laws are violated by such manners, that's grounds to be pulled over.

NASCAR is well known for yanking obscene pictures and schemes from cars.

This is the same thing.

It's the opposite of a line dancer, natch.

It's a new Olympic trial sport that combines the best of "ice dancing" and "pole vaulting". Quite athletic if you've ever seen it done.

Hmmm... any bets as to whether the customization includes Yosemite Sam "BACK OFF!" mudflaps, curb feelers, chain steering wheel, bobble head dogs or hula dancers, enormous rims with low profile tires, a "Don't like my driving? Call 1-800-EAT S***" bumper sticker, or a neon tube license plate holder?

Did I miss anything?
