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!

what about the back yard lol
The use of public ? Walmart is not public property, like any other business, it is private property. I know that anytime “the law” wants to say what ever they want but if priviate property and public property are two different things any place owned by a private person/ corp. etc. isn’t public property even if it is “open” to the public it isn’t public property. The only part of any property not owned by business is the fire lane – that area is owned by the city/ county etc. Just don’t get funky in the fire lane. Other wise your on private property. Of course the business / rep. of business can disallow sex or what ever they choose on their property.
Agreed. Now, let’s say two consenting adults wanted to have sex at WalMart. In the Family Restroom, normally located in the back of the store (at the Layaway or Special Services counter near Electronics), it’s perfectly legal IF the door is locked and no one can enter the bathroom, since the expectation of privacy is reasonable. Two or more members of opposite gender (or even same gender) entering the same unisex restroom is not uncommon, especially if one is disabled.
According to that law, it is ILLEGAL to have sex or fondle people IN a public place…such as walmart. Weather people can see you or not.
The second part of the code states that it is also illegal to do the same thing in a non-public place( as in your front yard.) with the intention of trying to arrouse others.
