Breaking legs and picking pockets
This story was the first I'd heard over the two "swinger" cases, but it's gratifying to see the Supreme Court of Canada do the right thing:
Clubs that allow group sex and partner swapping do not harm Canadian society and should not be considered criminal, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Wednesday... The judges, in a 7-2 ruling, said the test for indecency is the harm it causes, and not simply community standards.
Absolutely. It's so nice to see our highest court being adult about this sort of thing.
Edit: John Rogers again brings the knowledge. Choice quotation:
...the top court threw out the conviction of a Montreal man who ran a club where members could have group sex in a private room behind locked doors. “Consensual conduct behind code-locked doors can hardly be supposed to jeopardize a society as vigorous and tolerant as Canadian society,” said the opinion of the seven-to-two majority, written by Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin.
Go Canada. The only way you get a society this vigorous and tolerant is by not handholding your populace all the time.
