The former sheriff of Los Angeles County pled guilty to lying to the FBI; he led and covered up pervasive systemic corruption including abuse of prisoners.

Appeals courts disagree on whether the state can set up a semipermanent camera to watch someone, without a warrant.

I believe no one should be allowed to install a semipermanent remotely viewable camera (a surveillance camera) looking at a public place without a court order. However, in this case, a security camera which makes local recordings with no remote viewing could have done the same job.

I think that that use of the security camera is legitimate. A security camera serves to get information about any crimes visibly committed in a place, and that's what was done here.

However, it wouldn't hurt to require the state to get a warrant to set up an outdoor security camera to snoop on a particular person.

Michigan's senate passed a bill prohibiting oral and anal sex, in order to prohibit sex with animals.

It is wrong to criminalize sex with animals if the animals are willing and not injured. I've read about people that smear on their genitals something that dogs find tasty, to get the dogs to lick them. That is sex with an animal. The animal clearly chooses to do it. What part of that deserves punishment?
