Don't piss me off.

We have all read of, or, been guilty of, peeing in public at some point in our lives.
A cop sees you. Another citizen sees you and takes offense. Whatever.
Usually the charge is disorderly conduct or exposing oneself in public. The exposure charge is scary because it sets you up with a sexual offense…yikes!.
Well, today I am reading the local paper, and, Joe Shmoe was arrested last night for being seen peeing behind a tree in a local park.
Get ready for the charges…
One count of discharging raw sewage.
WAH?
Now, along with a fine or jail time, rogue pissers will be getting a visit from the EPA.
Too funny. :smiley:

Sure beats the hell out of being branded a sexual offender

One Ohio court decision I read years ago referred to the defendant “answering the call of nature al fresco.” :smiley:

Well, no, not really.

But, I love the “creative charging” he got! And as one who works in parks… Sic 'em!

Discharging raw sewage?

Musta been drinking Coors Light.

Personally I’d be mighty offended at having my precious bodily fluid being labelled as raw sewage.

I recently stood by a bus stop–on a really busy main street, next to the lawns of a community centre–and watched some guy in ratty clothes and disheveled wiry hair amble up, turn his back to the traffic, and (without the slightest change in expression) unzip his pants, whip it out, and pee all over the grass. :eek:

He wandered away again before I could react, but that law might have been useful, in retrospect.
