A Legal Question

[Trelew]

Just heard something from someone with some legal knowledge. I was told that it is not illegal to have sex in the public, such as a car or someplace out of the way. So long, as there was "a reasonably expectation of privacy".

So to extrapolate this to street workers, if the hobbyist and the lady picked a reasonably secluded area to have fun, would LE be able to prosecute?

Apparently someone in a Hamilton court was able to get off (both figuratively and literally) the criminal charges when a cop caught them in the act. I know there are some legal eagles that buzz through this forum, I wouldn't mind their opinion on this.

Thanks

I used to "do it" down by the Bluffs and I didn't have any trouble. Hell, there were like 20 other cars parked there. Who knows what people were doing inside of their vehicles.

A few years ago a couple friends of mine left the bar at closing, grabbed some food, and got to thinking. No kids. It's quiet. No one around. So they moved their vehicle to the empty back lot of the mall, got about 15 minutes into their fun, and had the cops interrupt them.

Being a mixed couple, they had no shortage of embarassment and trouble convincing the cops she wasn't an SP. The only reason they weren't arrested is one of the staff happened to leave the bar after cleaning up and confirmed that they were regulars.

OTOH, Durham regional isn't exactly notorious for their forgiving and understanding attitude.
