Is it true that you can get charged as a sex offender for peeing outside?

No, "peeing outside" is not even a "violation" in most places, but in urban settings may be regulated as to where and how. What "teacher" may be thinking is that doing something legal can become illegal if done in the wrong place or in the wrong manner For instance, as suggested by others, there may be statutes defining "lewd conduct" to include the public display of your genitalia (whether peeing or streaking). To be a criminal offense it must be observed by others, those others must be in the class of citizens protected by the law, and they must show you had the necessary intent to commit the criminal act (i.e.

, it wasn't simply a mistake of fact). If convicted of lewd conduct, in some states, you would be automatically enrolled on the sex-offender registry, perhaps for 20 years or more ANYONE being charged with that crime would be well advised to hire the best attorney you can afford and fight it every step of the way.

Yes, and bluesingroove is correct. If someone who is underage sees your Johnson and freaks, you will end up on the Registered Sex Offender list, which you will be on for life. Peeing outside is no big deal, but depending on who sees you doing it, it is a big deal.

I know a person that accidentally exposed his self to some young females, he is now a registered sex offender. You also face some jail time. So be very careful when you need to pee in a public area.

It's half true. The thing is that some prosecutors would charge you with "Indecent Exposure" not with "urinating. " So even if your intention was just to urinate you end up being charged with a sex crime.

If you really need to urinate make sure there is nobody around, and/or cover yourself.

No. Despite what the other posts say, I don't think there is anyone on a sex offender registry for simply peeing outside. But.

The current sex offender list is a joke. One of the biggest problems with the sex offender list is that a person who does some minor things and then learns better is still listed for life.

Yes, in some states, you can. Be cautious. I've seen this minor incident ruin lives because they are now listed as a sex offender...for urinating outside.

In some States it is, the CHARGE isn't peeing in public. The charge is INDECENT EXPOSURE as you have to whip it out to pee and someone could see it.

No. That's called "Indecent Exposure" and is subject to a fine. Your teacher's an idiot.

Yes. Falls under the crime of indecent exposure. (unless of course, you choose to pee your pants.).

Yes you could if kids are around andf they saw it.

Yes. You can, but there are specific parameters here: It's not about urinating outdoors, but about choosing a place to do it that will expose you to a minor or someone unassuming. For example, if you're dead drunk and you have to "break the seal," and you do it near a park with kids playing and a little 4 year old girl gets a glimpse at your hog, then it's indecent exposure to a minor.... and that kind of makes sense, right?

The problem comes in with our hard-line punishments against sex offenders. We correctly have a "no tolerance" policy and the penalties are harsh for that. If you expose yourself to a minor, even if it's inadvertent, you statutorily fall under that penalty.

Let's face it: no little kid should peep your hammer. That's fukt. So while I agree with you that it's a crappy situation to get yourself into, i'd rather not change the system and let the judge determine the correct punishments specific to your case.

Hope I helped. Moral: Don't be a retard and piss in the correctly designated piss places.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
