Omg, are you serious that it can get you on the sex offender list in certain states?

This sex offender witch burning has gone too far.

As hardline as I am against actual sex offenders, I agree. Public urination has nothing to do with sex or being a sex crime.

Tell the judge you had a bad cut on your foot and you needed to disinfect it. Medical emergency.

No, no, no, stung by a jelly fish. Yeah, tell the judge you were stung by a jelly fish. Say you were bringing it home to put on your English muffin when you dropped it on your foot.

IIRC, it's true. You are technically exposing yourself. You can get charged with indecent exposure, which lands you on the list.
 
Find a lawyer, you do not want a misdemeanor for pissing in public. That will stay on your record. You will have to disclose it when you apply for things. You need this knocked down to a noise ticket or something less than misdemeanor.

It's a house. People live in them. That said, given what I've seen of your comments over the years, I'm not surprised you think that way. I'm glad you're not my neighbor.

I don't piss on people's things or ignore dumpsters when I have things to throw away. I can't say I was shocked to see any of it, but that doesn't make it any less douchey for people to act that way.

Understood, but if I move behind a farm I'm going to expect to smell cow shit and if I move next to a bar I'm going to expect annoying drunks.
 
If your record is clean get a good lawyer that has a working relationship with the DA and he can get is dismissed. If you already have a bit of a record and it doesn't really matter, just pay the $100 and call it a day. Having a record, no matter how minute is a royal PITA.
 
I got arrested for this back in '84 when I had to go really bad after driving all the way to Hollywood Blvd from Orange County. I ran into an alley and when I was done, walked back to meet up with my friends when a couple cops cuffed me and walked me to the station.

I was 17 at the time, so I'm not sure why they didn't just write me a ticket. Amazingly, the cops didn't frisk me because I had a couple beers in my jacket. They allowed me to talk to my friends who were hanging out in a record shop, and i was able to dump the beers. Whew...I look back now that situation could have turned into a big mess, but they held me and called my dad who came to pick me up, no tickets or anything.

I thought it was kinda cool being escorted down Hollywood Blvd in handcuffs, and the cops were really cool. When we made it to the station, a police car was pulling out and one of the cops escorting me grabbed a trash can and dumped it on his hood... Then after my dad got me, they were joking around with us. hehehe. it was a different time back then, i guess.

haha oh yes, epic win
 
All thanks to government regulation. Our founding fathers would never be able to survive today without going to jail. They'd be arrested for peeing in their backyards, collecting rainwater, and hunting/foraging for food at local woods.

just plead guilty, probably erase the charge and just give you a fine


edit: I am not a lawyer and I use the bathroom 😉

according to the statute, it's a misdo. I would plead guilty only if they knock it down to an infraction. You wouldn't want some stupid misdo following you on your background check for the rest of your life...
