Louisiana
RS 14:8
Louisiana is a case study in how law enforcement officers can hurt people legislators let stand laws that the Supreme Court has found unconstitutional.
Several men have been arrested in and around Baton Rouge in recent months as part of so-called sting operations during which they agreed with undercover officers to have consensual gay sex in private without any discussion of payment.
As the arrested men learned, some cops will spend substantial amounts of taxpayer money and policing time to arrange what they may or may not know are really unlawful gay hookups only to take into custody their would-be sex partners when outdated, unconstitutional and unenforceable sodomy laws persist.
While charges against the men arrested in East Baton Rouge Parish and the City of Baton Rouge were ultimately dropped because the men had committed no crime, the fact remains that they were arrested and humiliated and had been jailed
