I did more research on this. I found this article on-line. You're right that it doesn't mention "roommate" but I'm sure that I had read that elsewhere. No matter since I was making the point that the sodomy wasn't private and obviously someone else was present. Plus they left the stupid door open! Yeah, very reasonable expectation of privacy there, eh?

Pity I didn't confirm the amount you were putting up before forking over the proof!

What proof are you talking about? The story you linked mentioned no "roomate" before whom sex had occurred, no "living room" in which sex was witnessed by a roommate or any other third person, no "open door" through which the police entered. It continues to appear that these men were arrested for activities in which they engaged within the apartment, that involved no other person.

I truly fail to see that they were not entitled to expect privacy, or that their actions were such as to justify their arrest. What threat were they to anyone? (Unless you think we all have the right to observe and pass judgment on each other's private sex activities -- and even punish them if we don't approve?)

Yeah, I acknowledged that the article I linked to didn't say the guy was a roommate. Could have sworn that I saw that it one story about it but can't point to it.

...no "living room" in which sex was witnessed by a roommate or any other third person...

Hello? The article does refer to the third persion who witnessed it! That's the guy who called the whole thing in to the police.

...no "open door" through which the police entered.

Hello again? Re-read post #417, please. It clearly states that the police entered through an open door!

You want privacy? Keep third parties out of it and close the damn door!
