BDSM and the law The law and BDSM The law has historically had a large role in how we in the lifestyle go about doing BDSM play. From police raids of both yesteryear and today to the effect that participation in BDSM might have on issues like custody, the law has always had an interest in that which society deems abnormal or immoral. There are two aspects of criminal law that the BDSM Lifestyler should keep in mind: private and public activity. Private refers to actions that may take place in your home or other private place and public refers to public places, like bars, events, and outdoors. There are a number of things that one should be aware of as the law relates to BDSM lifestyle in private. First and foremost is that the (minor) possibility always exists that you may be suspected of committing a crime if it becomes known that you engage in BDSM activities (loud screaming and impact noise could have a neighbor call 911). Types of crimes that you could potentially be charged with include (but are not limited to): Assault, Indecent Exposure, R*p*, kidnapping, False imprisonment, Reckless endangerment, Possession of illegal weapons or substances (e.g., possession of needles for temporary piercing may be illegal in your state), And in some states the very act of sex and/or the presence of certain sex toys in a certain quantity may leave you open to prosecution under state laws that prohibit the sale of sex toys. I should note that (depending on where you live) it is highly unlikely that you would ever have a problem with the cops. But the possibility does exist. WHAT TO DO IF THE COPS COME KNOCKING ON MY DOOR 1. Stay calm. 2. You do not need to consent for the cops to come into your house. You can force them to come back with a search warrant. HOWEVER, if they believe someone is in immediate harm, they have probable cause to enter without a warrant. 3. Explain calmly to the cops what the noise was all about, E.g., just good loud CONSENSUAL sex. 4. If you are arrested, DON'T say anything. You are not under any obligation to make a statement without an attorney present. Keep track of the officers names, badge numbers, and whether or not they read you your rights. 5. Call a lawyer immediately. 6. Remember, if they book you, you'll likely have to remove any piercings. 7. BUT, Stay calm. Don't antagonize the cops and make it worse. |

Didn't SCOTUS add the decision last week that the cops no longer need to read the Miranda Rights? Pretty soon these worthless goons will be crossing out each Right in the Bill of Rights, one by one. Stack the court! Impeach Thomas and the tRump triplets.

Interesting, makes me wonder what the law in the UK says. Although much of the advice is probably the same.

First, everyone should know the laws related to various sexual or kink play in YOUR state. Be careful that, with impact play, that noise be limited as to not attract attention; yes, if your neighbor reports screaming, or excessive noise, police can just enter without knocking --- (if they feel someone is in danger). I want ANYONE who abuses someone to be prosecuted. the police need to determine when someone is being harmed.
