Description
Petitioner Anders brings habeas corpus to challenge his conviction and punishment for a violation of Penal Code section 647, subdivision (a), which provides that every person "Who solicits anyone to engage in or who engages in lewd or dissolute conduct in any public place or any place open to the public or exposed to public view" is guilty of disorderly conduct. The conviction rests on the testimony of a police officer that he observed petitioner masturbating in a closed pay toilet stall in a bus station restroom. The door to the toilet stall was solid, except for two 12-by 18-inch wire mesh grates; the officer looked through the upper grate to observe petitioners conduct.
