Is car extension of your home?

Ask a Lawyerwhat's this?

Question

Country: United States of America
State: All States/Provinces

Property or civil rights law?
Wasn't there a court ruling a few years back that concluded your car was an extension of your home, and therefore, it was legal to have sex in your car? Can you tell me what that ruling was? Am curious -- not for the sex aspect, but want to know if it's legal to smoke in your car if it's parked on school property?

Answer

Not to our knowledge; you can still be arrested for having sex in the car in many places...
