I remember this debate coming up twice when I went to the Academy.
First was a woman who got a secondary infraction for driving barefoot. Basically her foot slipped off the brake and she ran into the back of a car at a red light. So failure to maintain control and driving barefoot. The barefoot driving got thrown out due to a car being an " Extension of you home"
Second was about when Louisiana first passed the open container law.
Certain law makers had an issue with the wording. You couldnt drink coffee or any other beverage cause it was in an open container. But it was thrown out due to a car being an "extension of your home"
We were to write a paper citing the statue that supported these.
No one ever found the statute, but we did find court proceedings where the term was used by the Judge.
I agree with you on the above. I have never seen a statue of "extension of your home" either. But I suppose, or guess, that it has been "taken into account' in some courts by some judges.
