ACLU: Sex in Restroom Stalls Is Private

ST. PAUL, Minn. - In an effort to help Sen. Larry Craig, the American Civil Liberties Union is arguing that people who have sex in public bathrooms have an expectation of privacy.

Craig, of Idaho, is asking the Minnesota Court of Appeals to let him withdraw his guilty plea to disorderly conduct stemming from a bathroom sex sting at the Minneapolis airport.

The ACLU filed a brief Tuesday supporting Craig. 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."

That means the state cannot prove Craig was inviting an undercover officer to have sex in public, the ACLU wrote.

Yeah, now instead of telling people to "get a room", we can just tell them to "get a stall".

I wonder if this could backfire on him since couldn't the undercover have expected the same 'right to privacy' while he tends to what the bathroom is really there for?

I wonder if they would claim that if someone was reading Bible verses aloud in an airplane bathroom?  ::)
