So, he was in a stall and tapped his foot? He was arrested for a nervous habit? I was expecting a more significant lewd act ... one of my patients was arrested by the feds for lewd behavior (doing the shake off more than twice is apparently considered a lewd act by the federal police) in a restroom down by Independence Hall ... he defended himself in court and actually (er, I didn't mean to do this) got off. From the charges, I mean.

Pleading to a lesser charge in hopes that nobody would notice, that wasn't too bright.

Yeah, the evidence seems quite weak, assuming the article has their best case. And I don't see why, even if the cop interpreted things correctly, what he did should even be illegal. I'm not a fan of cop shortcuts- if the cops feel the need for an undercover sting, they should wait until an actual crime is committed before springing the trap. A knowing look over a business card isn't a crime.

Indeed.
