Larry Craig is listed in the police report provided by the Smoking Gun link in the original post. Disorderly conduct in Minnesota means someone commits offensive, abusive, boisterious or noisy behavior, or uses obscene, offensive or abusive language. None of these things would appear to apply to Craig's conduct as described by the police officer before he identified himself.</p> The specific statute that Sen.

The fact the local police are even present in the restrooms to begin with speaks of repeated problems and/or complaints about the behavior of the patrons. This is not likely the first such case and such events have likely withstood the scrutiny of the courts.

Try reading the statutes and ordinances from the jurisdiction involved before posting such an innane statement. Or try just doing some basic journalistic footwork.
