"The police have climbed on top of the roofs of bookstores, have installed cameras in cinemas, and have otherwise expended enourmous resources, in order to punish as public sex, conduct that was taking place when people had evey reason to expect that what they were doing was private." -- Kendall Thomas, law professor at Columbia University, on the PBS television program In The Life, episode "Wide Stance", January 2008 [broadcast 2008-01-14 on MPT; may have been other dates on other stations]
