Sex on the Beach

The Palm Beach Post reported yesterday that certain beach bunnies (male variety) in Marin County will soon be startled out of their Speedos, if they haven't already removed them. The county is contemplating installing "talking" cameras at several of the public beaches to catch or at least frighten off men engaging or attempting to engage in sunny "funny" sex with other men.

FlashCAM devices sense motion and then flash a bright light, said David Graham, assistant to County Administrator Duncan Ballantyne. After being activated, the cameras issue a pre-recorded verbal warning to let people know they are under surveillance. Sixty seconds later, they start recording. The cameras, which the California company of Q-Star Technology makes, are solar powered and can be connected to light poles or even trees along the shores, Graham said.

"I'm all for it," said Commission Chairman Michael DiTerlizzi, who initially proposed the idea. "Anything that deters that kind of activity is going to be good." He says he wants cameras watching everywhere on the beaches and parking lots but not in the public bathrooms because that would be an invasion of privacy. And, besides, gays actually prefer sex in the privacy of a public men's room.
