Jury trial for woman displaying big plastic testicles

BONNEAU, S.C. (AP) - A Berkeley County woman will get a jury trial for a ticket she was given by police for displaying big plastic testicles on the back of her pickup truck.

Virginia Tice of Bonneau was given a $445 ticket July 5 that accuses her of violating the state's obscene bumper sticker law.

Police Chief Franco Fuda asked for a jury trial, saying questions of obscenity should be determined by community standards.

Tice's attorney, Scott Bischoff, expects a trial next month. A relative said Tice didn't want to talk about the case before the trial.

She was ticketed after pulling into a gas station in her truck with big red fake testicles hanging from the trailer hitch.

“Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted"

THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY HANGING BIG ASS BALLS NOT A BUMPER STICKER! I MOVE THE COURT TO DISMISS BECAUSE THERE IS NO CAUSE OF ACTION AGAINST ME .. I HAVE HARMED NO ONE!!

Comment by Tara on July 28, 2011 at 10:22am: I'm not sure why she would want a set of big balls on the back of her car for but she does have the right to express herself under the first amendment. I don't see anything obscene about it. For all we know she could use these balls has punching bags, who knows? Maybe bad memories of a past relationship? Hopefully a jury will find her innocent because convicting this woman of obscenity is way over the top. It's ridiculous.

Comment by truth on July 27, 2011 at 11:58pm: Guess kudos to the police chief for asking for a jury trial. Not sure that's his call yet it seems best way to go.
