After listening to the tapes while reading the transcript, does anyone else think the Officer acted too prematurely? Shouldn’t he have at least waited for some sort of verbal exchange (note I said “verbal” not “oral” :) . . ahem . . .or some attempted movement from one of the stalls to the next? At what point does it become obvious what Craig’s intent was?

Doesn’t undercover in prostitution cases have to wait until there is some sort of solicitation (discussion regarding money) before an arrest is made? Just merely pulling over and talking with a hooker isn’t enough. Eyeballing her, flirting with her, etc.

Even if Craig was following the behavior associated with restroom homosexuality, it sure seems to me like there should’ve been more words or behavior to ensure that illegal acts were indeed going to take place. Then the Officer could’ve made his arrest.

the point of the hand and foot gestures is that no verbalization is necessary! this is a public restroom and talking would kinda ruin the whole secrecy thing.
