Police told to ‘ignore’ outdoor sex

Well played, limeys.

New guidelines issued by the Association of Chief Police Officers suggest that officers should turn a blind eye to offenders unless members of the public complain.

Even then it recommends attempting to “inform and dissuade” the culprits rather than arresting and charging them.

Officers are also being told to reduce “knee jerk” reactions when they catch homosexual men in public lavatories and not to treat them differently to heterosexual couples.
