and also young people may have too much to drink in a bar...I'll 'fess up. I am guilty of this heinous outrage --a crime I committed while a young college student in a back alley behind a dumpster. I wonder when I'll have to register as a sex offender.

JERRY: I could get Uromysitisis poisoning and die. Do you think I enjoy living like this?...the shame, the humiliation...You know I have been issued a public urination pass by the city because of my condition.

Not to mention guys relieving themselves on golf courses. Sex offender status is an “on purpose” issue. Just relieving oneself is not.
A feminazi must have thought up that ruling. Do women get in trouble for such actions? Doubt it.

Sheesh, peeing in the sagebrush is practically a birthright here in Nevada. They've evolved to expect it. Turning off the stream would be a crime against the environment.

They should exempt ordinary urination with that exposure, as opposed to urination as part of a kinky sex act, from acts classified as a sex crime.

What a group of absolute idiots

We’re living in a country that is the most phobic about peeping and pooping. No other land has such a shameful public restroom situation. This is another sign of this silly puritanism.

Yep, your buddy stops the car to let you out to relieve yourself and there you are at the back, using the car as a shield, when he takes off as a joke and there you are left holding your Johnson and now a sex offender.
On the serious side, it pisses me off that they’d water down the true definition of a sex offender.
Urination and ruination are actually pretty close in spelling.

At what age? My grandson (being potty trained) some times just can not wait to make it to the potty and i have pulled over in a field and let him go. Will he be charged?
What the heck is going on? Its like people have gone crazy.

Ok. I have an idea, there should be a pee in.
Hundreds of people descend on this state and have a giant public pee.

What a group of absolute idiots Indeed. But don't forget, they're trying to comply with federal law:
"The issue came up when the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 was passed. A federal law, the Child Protection Act means states will have to start treating indecent exposure cases differently."

That Act was nothing but political grandstanding. Nobody knows what happened to Adam Walsh (other than the perp), but his father is quite willing to use his son's disappearance for publicity. After all, the longer John Walsh manages to stay on the air against the inevitable ennui with his program, the more money falls into his pocket
The Act sounds good but does not hold up under analysis and in places where it has been applied they're already finding it to be counterproductive -- reducing, not improving, public safety.

Oh, there's cops in the woods in Maine.
They're called "Game Wardens."
And they are the meanest, nastiest sons-of-bitches you will ever meet.
