[Rodney King]

I don't get it. What's the story? Were the men having consexual sodomy? Yes. So they staged it, so what? The implication here is that the Supreme Court was somehow bamboozled. Bamboozled into what? One man was sodomizing another, and they were arrested for it. How does the contituionality of it matter whether or not the men planned to get caught?

Maybe I should go on a bank robbing spree, and call the cops myself while I am robbing the place. Then, if I get caught, I can say "hey, I staged the whole thing, therefore you can't arrest me for it!".

Think that will work?

What's the story?

I think the only point to be made is that it's tough to rely on a privacy argument if they in fact wanted the police to witness the act. I don't think the constitutionality of it is affected, but their standing to make the argument on which they relied is altered.
