How does a state go about enforcing something that would require them to monitor everybody in that state and every location in that state, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?

Asked and answered. Further, the state only has to enforce it when it has probable cause and not in violation of that fourth amendment thingy.

(you knew exactly what I meant, about how would any law like that be enforced, you chose to dodge it by saying it's not the federal government, well, try to dodge this one).

I did address it, did you bother reading my post? There are many laws that can’t be enforced without probable cause, do you have a point you want to make or are you going to just keep asking the same question over and over. Now how about being a good sport and answer some of my questions?

Let's see how strong your conservative roots are, would you support something that would require the state/local governments to monitor you and your family and your house 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?

This just in from The Redundancy Office for the Department of Redundancy: NO, irrelevant to whether sodomy laws, drug laws, pandering laws…are good and necessary for society.

In other words it would be an unenforcable law :-P That's what I was trying to get you to say, I am admitting to it. The only way they would have probable cause, was if they were watching what went on in your home. The neighbors ratting out each other wouldn't work, because a lot of people have roomates, and usually they are of the same sex, or they live with relatives, plus relying upon the neighbors is very naziesque/sovietesque. You couldn't have police sitting around watching for people of the same sex touching each other in familiar ways, otherwise the NFL, NBA, and MLB would have to be shut down.

That's why in the states in which there are sodomy laws, it usually only comes up when there are other charges being filed.

Creating anti-homosexual laws, it's like the liberals saying we should have more controls on firearms, when it's already illegal to commit a crime, to use firearms when commmitting a crime. They are useless and do not add to the safety of society.
