ACLU Sides With Larry Craig on the Privacy of Public Sex
In an effort to help Sen. Larry Craig, the American Civil Liberties Union is arguing that people who have sex in public bathrooms have an expectation of privacy. Craig, a U.S. senator from Idaho, is asking the Minnesota court of appeals to let him withdraw his guilty plea to disorderly conduct stemming from a bathroom sex sting at the Minneapolis airport. The ACLU filed a brief Tuesday supporting Craig. It cited a Minnesota supreme court ruling 38 years ago that found that people who have sex in closed stalls in public restrooms ''have a reasonable expectation of privacy.''
