Police Use Unconstitutional Law to Target & Arrest Gay Men

"According to an investigative report from the Baton Rouge Advocate, there have been a dozen cases since 2011 in which undercover police officers in Louisiana have propositioned gay men for sex — agreeing to have sex in private, and without money changing hands — only to arrest them under the state's anti-sodomy law, which was invalidated more than a decade ago by a Supreme Court ruling."* Police in Louisiana are wasting time and money by performing stings to arrest gay men based on a law struck down by the courts as invalid. Why are officers continuing to arrest gay men who agree to consensual, perfectly legal sex?
