Georgia City Sued Over Law Requiring Prescription To Buy Sex Toys

Quote:

A man and woman in Georgia have filed a lawsuit against the city of Sandy Springs, GA, attempting to challenge a city ordinance that requires a consumer get a prescription from a doctor in order to purchase sex toys. According to city ordinance 38-120, the sale and purchase of “obscene material” — which includes “any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs” — is forbidden in Sandy Springs, with the exception that the sale or purchase may be okay if it is “done for a bona fide medical, scientific, educational, legislative, judicial, or law enforcement purpose.” In the suit filed last month in a U.S. District Court in Atlanta, two consumers each make their case for wanting to purchase the devices without having to bring a note from the doctor.

The law, which dates from 2007, also applies to the rental of devices designed to stimulate human genitals.

I am tempted to go to Georgia to test the limits of the law before the suit reaches the courts. I'd love to say "I am a lobbyist and I need to purchase this vibrator for legislative purposes," just to see what would happen.
