It is a felony in the US, you are charged as sex offender and have to register as one after you have paid for your crime. That is a bit harsh IMO, but it is the way it is. Last week driving south on 307 at the Holiday inn Express light, there was a van w/americans stopped and the the guy was peeing behind the van and his wife was yelling at him that a cop was coming.....don't know what happened

Yea, what state do you live in? In Illinois, I believe that would be considered disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, and definately NOT a sex charge for which you would have to register as a Sexual Offender.

OK, let me first say that I posted that under my wife's MO as I was on her laptop, but thought I was signed in under my name. She can't understand why she is getting emails asking here what state she lives in? Needless to say I will now have to pee in public for a week as punishment, but it is OK cause we live on the jungle here in Mexico.

So with that out of the way, I should have done a bit more research before spewing my know it all verbiage here. I was going by some radical stories, probably one of them in PEOPLE Magazine about people (GUYS) who have had to register as sex offenders (felony) after getting arrested for draining the lizard in public.(misdemeanor) Google has come to the rescue with a couple of links below and some pasted stories as well.

I stand corrected IT CAN HAPPEN, I'm sure there is more info. out there but I am out of time......

Lawmakers: Public urination shouldn't lead to sex offender status - EagleTribune.com, North Andover, MA


There are 3 Levels of Sex Offenders in Massachusetts
Level 1 Sex Offenders (peeing in public)

Where the Sex Offender Registry Board determines that the risk of reoffense by an offender is low and the degree of dangerousness posed to the public by that offender is not such that a public safety interest is served by public availability, the Board shall give that offender a Level 1 designation. Information on Level 1 offenders will not be available to the public. Neither the police nor the Board have authority to disseminate information to the general public identifying a Level 1 offender. Information identifying Level 1 offenders may only be given to the department of correction, any county correctional facility, the department of youth services, the department of social services, the parole Board, the department of probation and the department of mental health, all city and town police departments and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for law enforcement purposes.

Level 2 Sex Offenders

Where the Board determines that the risk of reoffense is moderate and the degree of dangerousness posed to the public is such that a public safety interest is served by public availability of registration information, it shall give a level 2 designation to the sex offender.

The public shall have access to the information regarding a level 2 offender through the Local Police Department and through the Sex Offender Registry Board.

Level 3 Sex Offenders

Where the Board determines that the risk of reoffense is high and the degree of dangerousness posed to the public is such that a substantial public safety interest is served by active dissemination, it shall give a level 3 designation to the sex offender.

The public shall have access to the information regarding a level 3 offender through the Local Police Departments and through the Sex Offender Registry Board .

Georgia legislature passes revised sex offender residency restrictions

As detailed in posts here and here, last year the Georgia Supreme Court struck down part of the state's sex offender residency restriction on a takings theory. Now, as detailed in local stories here and here, the state legislature has tried to fix the law. However, as this excerpt spotlights, this legislative fix may not end the constitutional litigation over these matters:

The Georgia General Assembly has passed legislation reinstating residency and work restrictions on registered sex offenders. The restrictions were voted on Friday without going through the typical Senate committee process, and without hearings on the Senate side....
Senate President Pro Tempore Eric Johnson ... stated that the bill addressed the Georgia Supreme Court's concerns about property rights. However, the bill only exempts sex offenders who own their own homes. In that case, the sex offenders can remain in their homes if a day-care center, church, park, or other forbidden area locates within 1,000 feet of the home.
Tenancy is a property right, by law, said Sen. Vincent Fort, D-Atlanta. He is concerned that the bill does not provide protection for renters. "There could be further legal challenges," Johnson said.... "We can continue to address some things in the future," Johnson said. But, "if we do not adopt this bill today, there are no restrictions on where they can live and work. It is critical that we now adopt 908, which is now in SB 1."...
"On its face, it's unconstitutional," said Sen. Nan Orrock (Email), D-Atlanta. "There is different treatment of homeowners and those who rent. We're already in murky constitutional ground." Then, there are the unintended consequences, she said. "With sexual offenders who have served their time and who are back in the community, our highest priority is that they not re-offend and prey on another victim," Orrock said. But putting in the residency restrictions "set in motion this moving around of former sex offenders." Studies show, clearly, she said, that sex offenders who have to move from a stable home or job are more likely to re-offend....
The restrictions are exactly the same as the ones implemented in 2006. In almost every case, all registered sex offenders are treated equally, regardless of whether they were convicted of child rape or public urination. No sex offender may live within 1,000 feet of a child care facility, church, school, or "area where minors congregate." Those areas are defined as: parks, recreation facilities, playgrounds, skating rinks, neighborhood centers, gymnasiums, school bus stops, public libraries and public and community swimming pools. Adding libraries is the only change to that definition.

Does it makes a difference if a little girl "watches the show"? I don't think so, be it Playa, NYC or rural Ohio.

In Mexico city a drunk guy was beaten by a cop for urinating in a street in the middle of the night. this happened many years ago and was in the news for weeks.
In Smogcity, peeing in public is a minor offense, but in this case, the guy was so drunk and very belligerent, to the point of defying the cops, something similar to the guy who was beat in L.A. and was filmed on video.
