$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')n emergency dispatcher at a North Carolina sheriff's department was presented with an ultimatum after the sheriff discovered that she was living with her boyfriend outside of wedlock: get married, move home or find another job.

Carson Smith, the sheriff of Pender county, told Deborah Hobbs, 40, that her decision to cohabit was a moral and a legal issue.


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]North Carolina is one of seven states, including Mississippi, Florida, Michigan, Virginia, West Virginia and North Dakota, which prohibit cohabitation.

Well.... She was breaking the law.

While certainly an assinine law by any account, it IS the law.

This is BS. She should fight it and take her case all the way to the Supreme Court. This should fall under someone's Constitutional right to privacy. This is none of the state's business.

Whoa buddy. I didnt say i AGREE with it. Theres ALOT of laws I dont necesarily agree with, but it doesnt change the fact they are currently on the books as laws and as such actions can be taken against those in violation.

For the record, I do not agree with this law.

From what I read, Lawrence vs Texas covered sexual acts of 2 willing couples in a private residence, not the cohabitation of said individuals.
While it may cover it, i dont know if it will.

Wow, for once, a morality law non-existent in South Carolina. i was sure we were going to be one of those seven states. I'm impressed.

So, does this mean that unrelated "poor starving students" living in the dorms at college are breaking the law too? They are cohabitating -- are they not?


Where does it end?
