I'm not going to condemn a 19-year-old over doing something harmless and stupid (though a fine is appropriate). A "sex offender" label for urination is quite inappropriate and I think it unlikely to pass an 8th Amendment test. Being a teenager with a bag of pot is a far more forgivable than being clueless and corrupt yet wanting to control the reins of government.
A 19 year old with the beginnings of a long record.
.......The younger Gore had been stopped by police twice before in recent years. He was ticketed by military police in September 2002 outside Fort Myer in suburban Virginia for driving under the influence.
North Carolina police cited Gore in the summer of 2000 for driving 97 mph in a 55 mph zone. Charges were dropped but he had to pay a $125 ticket and his driving privileges were suspended in the state.
