Entrapped

"Nightly, plainclothes cops lounge in gay bars, waiting to be approached by homosexuals. A few years ago in Long Beach, an attractive young man was entrapped in this way by one of these special police and brought to court. Instead of meekly accepting a fine or a light sentence, as so many victims of this system do, Edward baskett elected to fight back. He hired a lawyer, insisted on a jury trial and fought his case all the way to the Supreme Court. In the end, the Justices refused to hear the case. But even in losing, Baskett became more convinced than ever that he was right. He is still fighting." --from inside cover of jacket.
