Or prostitution. (new window)

Why can't it be both? Hell, if you want to get REALLY creative, you could probably pull them both off at the same time.

That sick son of a biatch...

YOU CAN RECYCLE OIL NOW!!!!!!

/But seriously, solicitation is a "crime against nature"? Ain't nothing more natural than offering money for pussy. However, for some reason there usually is a problem when it's an honest, straight up money for sex deal, instead of being couched in the guise of dating. Why one form of prostitution is encouraged, while the other is illegal, I'll never know.

indylaw: Crimes against nature is prissy English code for butt sex, oral sex, and other stuff your great grandmother enjoyed but never talked about.

This has nothing to do with corn cobs and buggy whips.

Crimes against nature? In New Orleans.

That has to set the bar pretty high for an arrest. Was he teleporting?

boomm: Seeing "Crimes against nature" on this arrest means they still haven't taken the time to change the legal blanket term for prostitution, homosexuality, transsexualism, bestiality, infidelity and everything but the missionary position, to make any distinction. They still have it all under the same label.

...and that label is "Saturday Night"

Now, who is to say what "unnatural" carnal copulation is?

I'm sure you already have, you demented perv.

YakiManiac: In North Carolina, "crimes against nature" have been defined as acts of bestial character whereby degraded and perverted sexual desires are sought to be gratified.
Wait .... You mean farking a goat is illegal in NC? I guess that leaves the North Carolina Dairy Goat Breeders Association in a quandary then, doesn't it.

I don't really know why, but it really amuses me to see the legalese for "farking livestock".

And in an irrelevant aside, everyone in this thread should look up Thomas Granger. And then ask themselves exactly where the court got the specifics.

/One of my favorite historical incidents.
