[QUOTE="AC37, post: 1386011, member: 133"] Never said he shouldn't be arrested and be punished for violating the law; I said public urination does not, nor should equal sex offender in the eyes of the law - any more than simple jay walking should earn a person the electric chair. Having to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life and notify those that live in your neighborhood - in essence, being permanently relegated to second-class citizen status - for a moment's indiscretion/being about to pee your pants is a perfect example of the cure being worse than the disease. People wonder why so many have lost respect for the law. People can not and should not respect unjust laws. If the law wants respect - it must earn that respect by being just. The OP's first statement about the event very clearly states on the ground; the second statement uses somewhat ambiguous wording, meaning either on the ground next to his vehicle or onto his own vehicle; in any event, there's really no way to read this as TJay's vehicle was being pissed on by the offender - unless we consider...backsplash. ;) [/QUOTE]
