Cruising And The LAW

The sexual offences Act 2003, which prohibits “sexual activity in a public lavatory” has nothing to say about sex in public places.However ,anyone who engages in sex in public can find themselves charged with offences under the Public Order Act,if the police have sufficient evidence to convince a court of law that the activity was witnessed,(or there was a high likeihood of being witnessed),by a third party. The attitude of the police to cruising at any given location varies,according to the time of the day and night,and the number of complaints from local residents and councillors.Occasionally,police will visit a cruising area to advise cruisers of the risc of homophobic attacks,and anyone seen to be involved in sexual behaviour will be asked to move on rather than being arrested. Anyone who leaves evidence of sexual encounters,such as discarded lubricant and condom packets etc draws attention to the fact that the area is a public sex environment,even if no sexual activity has been seen,This can lead to complaints to the police and local council and an increased police presence.
