Regardless of whether a person is a police officer or not, adultery and fornication are still on the books as a misdemeanor (Sec. 97-29-1) in Mississippi. Interestingly, police are obligated to investigate, and even make arrests, if someone presses charges. US Supreme Court decisions have probably made the statute unconstitutional, so a conviction might be struck down on appeal, but that hasn't happened, yet.
