Public Sex Allowed in Walmart in Indiana
As one can read in this Indiana law, it allows it’s residents/occupants to have sex and publically fondle each other as long the act is not viewed by people (either occupants or invitees) of the public place. As long as no passerbys can see the sexual acts from outside the store, it’s allowed!
