Comments on: Mitt Romney Supporter Senator Larry Craig’s Toilet Two-Step http://www.anorak.co.uk/anorak-in-new-york/176164.html Tabloid news for broadsheet readers Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:13:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Lara DeCarlo http://www.anorak.co.uk/anorak-in-new-york/176164.html#comment-82918 Lara DeCarlo Wed, 17 Oct 2007 02:33:34 +0000 http://www.anorak.co.uk/news/anorak-in-new-york/176164.html#comment-82918 I don't see the crime. Is it a crime to accidentally touch a persons foot in a bathroom? What if this was an old man with Parkinson’s who may not walk too good. Would he be arrested if he swayed into the next stall? My late father was very capable of walking very unsteady and could have certainly touched another’s foot in a restroom. While I am not excited to see gay people in public restrooms, I don’t think that tapping a foot or coming close to another’s foot could come anywhere close to being considered a criminal act. The police have gone crazy in the last 30 years trying to arrest anyone they can. They are very willing to taser anyone they feel is a threat. Our country is slowly turning into a police state. Our individual rights are shrinking every day. And now this Senator is feeling what many of those would have been arrested have felt - intimidation, threats, and in some cases lies. It seems that innocent until proven guilty is a thing of the past. While I have never been arrested, it seems that those who are arrested are often interrogated so heavily that the person often just breaks and decides to admit guilt in order to end the interrogation. They are often lied to in order to get the suspect to say something that could be used against them in court. It really seems that our court/legal system could use some serious changes.

This case is based upon absolutely nothing, and in the audiotape, you can clearly tell the that Craig never admitted guilt, he just took the advice of the officer that it would be easier to pay the fine than fight it out in court. This whole situation is just crazy. By the way, I typically spread my legs apart when using a public toilet stall. Why? you might ask. I do it to keep my pants from soaking up whatever might be on the bathroom floor. If I drop clean toilet paper on the floor, I pick it up. This whole case is just insane!
