Lawrence vs. Texas was a good ruling in that the Court sided against the State who entered a private residence without a warrant and arrested two adults for an act they were doing (sodomy) in the privacy of their own bedroom.

I don’t believe that is what happened. They were entering the home to arrest one of the men on a warrant and happened upon the illegal activity in the process. It is exactly the same as if they were responding to a burglary and happened upon a man raping a young child. They would not ignore the perpetrator just because they were entering the home on another pretext. The bust was totally legal.
