big-will 7 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I couldn't find the mile high thread I'm sure there was before, but I just read something that asks whether sex on a plane is legal or not. Tell you what those toilets are gross. My g/f refuses to use them - even for the toilet. I think she'd rather explode than have to go! Quote: But is having sex on a plane legal? A Crown Prosecution Service spokesman says he is unaware of any prosecutions. "The police would need to have a complaint and they would then investigate, and if they thought there was a case to answer then we would make a judgement on whether there's a case to bring forward." What legislation is invoked depends on the circumstances, he says, and the police would look at the offence as a whole before deciding if laws such as outraging public decency have been infringed. Getting frisky in the plane toilet could be a criminal offence, says travel lawyer Philip Banks, from the firm Irwin Mitchell. A person has committed an offence if they have sex in a lavatory to which the public has access, under section 71 of the Sexual Offences Act 2004. Although there is no case law because the statute is so new, a plane's toilet could be interpreted as public under these terms, he says. The punishment is a six-month prison stint or a £1,000 fine. Outraging public decency under common law could also be used, he says, if it was proven that at least one person may have seen the act. But it may not be the UK laws which come into play, and which country's laws govern the offence may depend on the destination, the departure point, the country over which the offence is committed and the country where the plane is registered, says criminal lawyer Julian Young. But despite the confessions of the rich and famous, there are few known instances of anyone getting caught. Link to post Share on other sites
Ezorisu 0 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I'm sure the TSA would get on your case on a domestic US flight or a flight to or from the US, since "congregating" in any part of the plane (especially around the toilets and galley) is expressedly verboten.

big-will 7 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 My g/f follows a routine a few days before a long flight* in order to guarantee she doesn't need to use the toilet for that 12 hours (not confirmed, but she must!) Link to post Share on other sites
