so, on my way to the car after a show last night i stop in a dark (and empty) alley to get rid of some of the "water" i had consumed during the show.
while i mind my own business peeing on a fence (that has obviously been used for this kind of thing before), someone puts a flashlight on me. the cops. great ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif) "can i at least finish?" i ask ... he's cool with that and proceeds to call in for backup. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) so now i have this "notice to appear" in court, cop said he didn't know how much it's going to cost me. now my real question is, i have heard rumors that such an offense ("urinating in public") is treated as "indecent exposure" here in CA and can get you on the states "sex offenders" list. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) anyone know for sure if there's any truth to that? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) Andy |

1st, respect the law. They write these laws for a reason beyond the fines.
A good idea is to carry an empty soda pop bottle in the car with you. When the urge happens, fill it up in your car and later dispose of it properly at home. No matter the time of day, in 2005 and forward, somebody is probably going to be watching you/me/us/them/all. My guess is it must be one of those traffic light type cameras that are now being used in all areas of all cities. Not being paranoid. It was in the local paper telling how most major cities in America are using hidden camera to watch public places for signs of terrorism and/or those engaged in any unlawful acts. Some call it spying on the public. How else did they just happen up on you? However, in SF, gmaybe they have a lot of that exposure thing going on and is a good source of continuing revenue. Could have been worse. Maybe someone who wasn't a policeman. Mike |
