How ridiculous is this?

People who have sex in public have an expectation of privacy?

That is an oxymoron.

Besides, I'm no expert at all, but I *believe* that these people who have sex in public washrooms get a thrill out of doing their deeds in a public place....because it is public.

Honestly...don't these people (ACLU) have better things to do?

FTA... "It cited a Minnesota Supreme Court ruling 38 years ago that found that people who have sex in closed stalls in public restrooms "have a reasonable expectation of privacy.""

I guess it's the ACLU's fault that the Minnesota Supreme Court made the ruling.

I think Craig is a hypocrite, but the police really should have better things to worry about than old guys cruising for sex in airport bathrooms.

I know one thing for certain. Tapping your feet and swiping your hands under dividers isn't sex.

I guess you would have to define "reasonable".

to me, what is a reasonable amount of privacy on private property would be far different from what is reasonable in a public bathroom.  

It is not complex.

and curval... watch it or sandy will nullify your lefty party card.

So, if you take crap in public bathroom it is reasonable to expect cops watching over every step of yours?

You don't think that the sting operation was driven by complaints from the public?

My comment was about the reason for the sting operation, not the way it was executed.

Well... if public complaints can override their own Supreme Court, they have a bigger problem.

Well if someone runs up to a cop complaining that two men/women are having sex in a public stall then by all means arrest them.

BUT
However distastefull I or anyone else might find it. I do not see how it is the police's or anyone elses business what two consenting adults communicate what they want to do with one another.
reguardless of what method or code is used to communicate those wishes.

Since when is it a crime to talk about having sex?

If they had actually caught him in the act of having sex in a public place I'd say fine. Lock him up

But setting people up and arresting them for planning on having sex??

Shame on the cops on this one.
They should be out going after real ciminals and not this silly crap.

2bighorn..  it is far more "reasonable" to expect that a cop... or anyone.. may look into a stall in a public bathroom than it is to expect that they break into your house at home and peer into your bathroom.   crap or no.
