Dude, holler at me in a bit.
so according to the po its not a misdemeanor in nyc (which i still dont believe...) its a health violation. so we got a $15 fine apiece. gonna go handle it today, but i still dont believe it.
funny thing is
a) didnt have to p
b) neither did my boy
c) as soon as we saw lights we sprinted like two steps before we both realized how it looked for really little.
luckily we got stuck with a jolly cop:

you guys are hilarious. i started giggling[/b] when i saw you two running.
Didn't Zane get popped in AA for a lot more than $15?
thats not always as easy as it might seem.
someone mentioned sex offender, i heard sometimes they put you on the list if you get caught pissin in piblic. is that true? that would suck.
Damn. I would just find a bathroom instead of risking a sex offender charge or a ticket!
it was a 2:30 am walk back from boozing which always leads to a mid journey urge to leak. no feasible places around to pee. plus we are brown... we come from a long line of people pissing on the street.
re: the sex offending thing, UIP definitly rides the line of indecent exposure and health offense. fortunatly for us, nyc is pretty explicit about a 153.09 violation. the law definitly focuses on public urination and defication[/b] as a health concern and thus a petty crime.
and for those who have been keepin score at home, just got back from the po station. turns out i have a court date.
SAVE THE DATE!!!! 12-06-06!!!
I recently remembered a scene that really struck me on my first trip to SF:
Busy street with mad foot and car traffic, probably 1-2 in the afternoon. Dude who is obviously NOT homeless or degenerate is pissing right off the sidewalk onto the street, and nobody seemed to be paying much attention. Right there, with his dick out, all these people passing.
Another fave from that trip: a homeless guy is pushing a shopping cart down the sidewalk... he grabs a bunch of flowers from outside a store front and stuffs them in his cart, covering them with a coat. An older woman runs out of the store and starts screaming and batting him, I think she even knocked his cart over.
from my own experience, in urban areas it's all about in between parked cars, acting like you're on the cellphone or something. it's all about the stance--hunched over looking down where you're pissing...you're begging for a ticket. keep you're head up like your on some other business.
the alternative
Some places it's so bad they don't put stall doors on the toilets. I hate that shit. Was at a place like that recently. Fortunetly they at least put a curtain up on one of the stalls.
