Maybe a cop should have to be stationed in every restroom.

The new law overturns local ordinances banning LGBT discrimination and requires people in government buildings and schools to use the bathroom that corresponds with the sex on their birth certificate. It has been called “the worst anti-LGBT legislation in the nation.” To find out exactly how it will work, Mother Jones called up several North Carolina police departments and asked. A sample response:

“Our staff, particularly our attorney’s office, is trying to figure out what it all means,” says Damien Graham, another spokesman for the Raleigh Police Department. “We haven’t mobilized our police force in any kind of different way. We’re still digesting.”

Some clearer answers came from the Asheville Police Department, which stated “We’re not checking birth certificates,” and the Greensboro department, which said it would only respond if it receives a complaint from a fellow bathroom user.
