Sheriff's Office Caught Arresting Gay Men For "Crimes Against Nature" Forced To Backtrackhttp://www.buzzfeed.com/hunterschwarz/the-sheriffs-office-caught-arresting-gay-men-for-crimes-agaiAuthor: Hunter Schwartz Source: BuzzFeed
Anti-sodomy laws were deemed unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court back in 2003, yet a Louisiana Sheriff's department was still enforcing anti-sodomy laws and arrested a least a dozen gay men since 2011.
"The East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office was revealed to be using undercover officers to solicit gay men in parks for sex and then arresting them, according to a story published in the Baton Rouge, La., newspaper The Advocate Sunday. None of the arrests were ever prosecuted, however, the district attorney said, because none of the men had actually committed a crime."
Since the revelation, the Baton Rogue Sheriff's Department has said they'll reevaluate their policies.
