This is Palo Alto's news. Why isn't this ugly story on their site?

Story was on the Palo Alto site FIRST, since last night. Web Link

this is just silly. the guy was in his car, not running around the street like a crazy person. and it appears that no one actually saw anything? why is this news?

I don't get it either -- if we're allowed to live in our cars, why can't we do that in the privacy of our own "homes?"

Excellent point Pee Wee. What if he doesn't have a home or more suitable place for this bodily function? He was on break in his car. He privacy was invaded. Clearly the Palo Alto Police have little to do but this. The same applies to The Voice, the shaming paper of fourth-rate journalism. This is just beyond acceptable.

Im sure the guy was beating off but with this kind of circumstantial evidence there's no way a jury would convict him. Total waste of money and resources to charge the guy.

Maybe this too will inspire Church copycats?

I've always wondered where these guys go to the bathroom. I mean they stand out there 24 hours a day. They must have to take a nature break once in a while.

Anyone know what they do? Or do we want to know?

Frankly I can't imagine who could do that job. They just sit there, for hours and hours.. rain or shine.. all day and night.

Not that I'm a big fan of them sitting in their car playing with themselves. Sure, let's all act like we'd be perfectly fine with that happening in front of our house. Sure.

Great. So now the alleged criminal who was on break while holding down a really envious job will be collecting unemployment and most likely wind up on welfare. Every one happy now?

So this guy was allegedly "... treating his body like it was an amusement park" (to steal a Seinfeld-ism) in the privacy of his own car, NOT near a school or such, and the Palo Alto PD decides to NOW file charges and arrest him??? Did the detectives just find the used tissue filled with DNA evidence??? NOBODY witnessed anything and he was NOT cited at the time ... damn - how bored IS the Santa Clara County DA's office to take on such an earthshaking case of criminal behavior??? OH, and "slumped over" is also how people look when they're focused on their mind-numbing "smart" phones that they have oh-so-cleverly hidden in their laps (usually while actually driving), which is EXACTLY what the officer stated that he found the suspect actually DOING when he walked up on him, slumped over and talking on his cellphone!
