Geez. I'm surprised they didn't also label him as a sex offender too. You'd br surprised how many people have gotten that label for peeing in an alley.

You know, I could move to that town, park a videocam on the lawn, and press $2500 charges against each and every dog's owner that came widdling in my yard, if such an ordinance holds water. Nice little side income. One accidental, can't-hold-it widdle? Hardly a criminal act, let alone a $2500 one.
I'm assuming the li'l guy then did what he should have, once the stupidity was explained to him: peed all over the ticket, as well.
Sorry, city council, but you can take that ticket, combine it with a copy of such zero-tolerance ordinances, and s.......

We need to clamp on this hard! Kids have no respect these days! He's certainly on the slippery slope of someday peeing into the bushes one stumbly evening from the bar.... [/hypocrisy]
If 'mental illness' is a main cause of gun-grabbing sentiments, then mental illness is the true enemy.
The March of Dimes worked. There's an opportunity there for being pro-active in defense of your rights.
Alternatlvely, please just actually give actual money occasionally.
If you give some peiole the POWER to be stupid, they will use it.
Gotta go, you gotta go man. I understand at my age I may have to pee in my yard as well. The older I get the shorter the wait time.
I hear stuff like this and I seriously wonder how our society could be going down so fast. It's ridiculous, absurd, surreal...I can't think of enough adjectives to describe this political correctness run amok. We've lost all commom sense and sense of proportion.
What's even worse is that the cop even considered for one second that giving a toddler a ticket was a good idea. That rigid application of the law without regard to circumstances is scary.
I hope a judge will throw that out of court. Geesh.

He probably should be because it's almost impossible to have training sessions for common sense. He won't be fired though if he was following the letter of the law. His lawyer would get him off in a heartbeat and he'd get back pay, vacation time and probably sue for damages.

Well, they reduced the Public Urination charge to Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor charge. The CLEO would not mind if the DA dropped the charges. Why doesn't he have a talk with the DA and make it happen. It was his guy that went overboard.
I thought they made open carry legal in OK recently :)

You are only paranoid until you are right - then you are a visionary.
I read that the police chief had already thrown out the ticket.
Everyone interviewed in the town said they were embarassed by it all.
I guess that's good.
