Unfortunately it was Cornwall police and not gay persons targeted by police who were the ones ignorant of the law. The gay person targeted had committed NO offence & had acted completely within the law, which is why they were not charged or prosecuted. There was overwhelming evidence & witnesses to the false allogations being made against gay persons in Cornwall, but the police are so homophobic & corrupt (still) in Cornwall they choose to try to ignore the evidence in order to persicute gay people. That is a fact of the abuse carried out by police in Cornwall against gay persons. Pete, your quite right about 'ignorance' of the law.

Despite complaint, the IPCC still refuses to investigate Cornwall police homophobia, but that is idicitive of the corruption within the police system today!)The LGBT history of Cornwall is a fragile thing due to a long history of Institutional prejudice in the County, in particular by homophobic Cornwall police.The 'Women's Acorn group' 'Cornwall Lesbian Line, (20 yrs strong!!!)', women’s rock band 'OUT OF THE BLUE', in conjunction with the Cornwall LGBT newsletter 'ICT' Cornwall HIV/AIDS Council Ran during the 1990's, very successful LGBT 'PRIDE' fetes several years running on a farm in west Cornwall, attended by hundreds of lgbt people.(as featured in GT magazine one year!)However, it is with caution we should ponder before embracing those financial commercial and/or authority interests who previously voraciously discriminated against gay people (ie. and in particular:-Cornwall police). Some of these organisations now wish to be seen (on the surface) as being 'GAY' PC, and yet police ( others) dismiss the pioneering efforts of LGBT (Men Women) Cornwall equality activists campaigners of recent past, effectively trying to write them out of local gay history.The Intercom Trust has a LOT to answer for their ostracising gay lgbt people who do not embrace the homophobic Cornwall police force!Good Luck the NEW 2008 Cornwall Pride.Good Luck 'OutPlymouth' Gay PRIDE 2008 on the Hoe!
