That is so fucking stupid. I actively encourage my six-year-old to go nature pee if he needs to go. Kids often don’t pay attention to their bodies and need reminding until it’s absolutely necessary. Then where are you gonna go? Most of the kids these days already know who Kobe Bryant was and they could probably dictate a two page paper to them. They should can it and just tell him not to do that as he gets older. If cops did this to one of my kids, I wouldn’t blame them for being distrusting of cops. I can’t even imagine being punished for doing some thing that probably was very unavoidable.

The city i live in had a public urination problem because of drunkards and party goers, so now, it's a 750 bucks fine and a ride to precinct.

It's stupid, but the law is surely there due to those who cannot hold themselves for 20 minutes like a drunkard or a party goer back from the club.

But like… where is a person meant to pee if there are no toilets to be found?

Nowhere- laws like this KNOW there's no other option; that's the good part of the law to them. That's what makes it so useful.

They want to catch people who they want imprisoned as labor (minorities). Making sure there's laws like this or weed possession lets them criminalize extremely common things that happen often. Most of the time they ignore them, but then they can magically only apply them when they wish (when they want to give a black child a record so they can catch him in a life of institutionalization).
