The Law Explained

Evanston was famously the headquarters of the temperance movement, and its morality laws were legendary. Lawmakers feared that cars with drawn curtains were being used as mobile dressing rooms—or worse, for illicit romantic liaisons. To preserve public decency, they banned changing clothes in parked cars entirely.
