Is it normal to pee on the side of the road

My brother, a former District Attorney warned that patrol officers there used to write guys up for peeing on the side of the road. The charge was indecent exposure. Albeit a misdemeanor it was classified as indecent exposure/sex offense.

After some research I discovered this was true. And it gets worse. At least 13 states require sex offender registration for public urination, according to Human Rights Watch's comprehensive review of sex offender laws in 2007. So, one could be banned from work with children and could have custody issues with an ex-spouse jeopardizing seeing privileges.

My brother advised to carry a Gotta Go Poncho restroom system in the car which is some kind of poncho barrier you could pee/poop within. Or just go inside your car.

Understandably, exposing your genitals and leaving your waste out in the open are both perceived as symptomatic of moral decline. We need laws to keep social order and the line must be drawn. But the suffering the social stigma of indecent exposure classification for just for peeing on the side of the road seems harsh. is it normal to pee on the side of the road in public view?

    We've all done it. I learned it was a sexual offence as well, which is just ridiculous.

      Yes, you run into an overzealous cop and your done. But on the other side where do we draw the line. Those flashing their junk where it does not want to be seen could please, they were just taking a leak. I dont know.

        Sometimes you just get too drunk.

          Agreed, there are some cases when alcohol should get one off the legal hook.

    It's only normal if you wave at the cars as they drive past you.

      Yes, draw attention to the hands, like a good magician.

    Pee in a bottle while sitting in the drivers seat. Then pull up your pants, open the door slightly, and pour the pee on the road.

        Dude, be resourceful. Squat down on the ground, dump, turn a plastic bag inside out and pick it up like dog shit. It's not rocket science, lol.

        If you are in a rental car, you can even spread newspaper on the back seat, and stay in your car for additional privacy.

          Dude, Im also a dog lover and on many levels see them as equals. Unfortunately the rest of the world, mainly cops, hold us humans to a different standard of "moral acceptance". As unfair as it seems, if you squat like Rover the cops will definitely write you up. Even if you bag it. No slack there. And newspapers? Do those really still exist? If so, maybe you have a point.

            Good point. Life is a bit of a gamble. Cemeteries on moonless nights are your best bet.

        Women have trouble with bottles, so I keep a coffee can on-board for them.

            You raise a good point. Pouring a can of non-dog urine on the street sounds more like littering.

    I found the website of the poncho toilet thing recommended. http://www.goponcho.com freakin hilarious, but maybe useful in in a real bladder/bowel bursting situation.

      What gets gross is when people pitch their tents in the same place.
