the #1 way police enforce anti-sodomy laws is the same way they enforce every other law: by lying. they say they saw your car in a parking lot and you were giving your partner a blow job. they went to your house to ask about a neighborhood disturbance and saw you having anal sex. itâs the same way they claim they saw the suspect throw drugs in the bushes or they swear the guy reached for his waist to pull out a gun. they lie because they can.
even if itâs not enough for a conviction (which, letâs be very frank and recognize that police lies are often very much enough evidence to convince the right jury), the police have still arrested you, which you have to disclose when getting certain jobs or applying for housing or getting government assistance, theyâve kept you away from work / home / family / your responsibilities, and theyâve humiliated you in open court. they enforce whatever laws they want, whenever they want, however they want, because they can
some time in the last decade two anarchists I knew parked by the river to talk. one was having his life falling apart. he needed a friend to vent to in a private place, and he didn't have a safe home to go back to. the cops pulled in to the parking lot. they sat there for ten minutes, debating whether it would cause more trouble to leave or not. finally a cop came up and handed them a ticket for public indecency, claiming that they'd seen the two of them having sex. the ticket was fought in court, but on no other grounds than that the state does not recognise the ability (tendency) for cops to lie, the judge upheld the fine (plus additional restrictions). so yes. it happens that easy.
should also mention that this was in Canada, for those who think we're immune
