SCHENECTADY, N.Y. -- A New York judge is putting the brakes on one man's ****-to-go.

Andre Gainey has been ordered to spend three weekends in jail. He was busted in February after police noticed there was a porno movie playing on the DVD system in his Mercedes.

Officers say they could see the X-rated video when they pulled up behind Gainey at an intersection.

Police said the movie was playing on screens set into the passenger-side sun visor and the car's headrests.

Gainey was sentenced Friday, after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor -- public display of sexual material.

You know Ray,i always thought that was a little much when people put dvd screens in their headrests. It just gives fools just one more reason to break in your car,and the driver can never truly enjoy what everyone else is engrossed in,so why is it done? I'd prefer a laptop in the back with a double headphone attachment......no offense to those who like that,just my opinion...

I hear ya. Neighbor has a Ford Expedition with the DVD in dash, as well as in headrest. They went with daughter to see a matinee movie at the mall couple of weeks back. Came out and the inside was T R A S H E D big time... upholstery in ribbons, dash busted all to heck, not to mention the loss of the DVD players, expensive flat screen head unit, monitors, etc. The kid was traumatized big time.
