Man Turns to YouTube to Stop Public Urination
Have you ever been waiting for a cab after a long, inebriated night and felt a sudden urge to relieve yourself? If so, did you do so right there on the curb, or did you wait until you got home? If you just couldn't wait, you'd better watch the above video, because that could be you, posted on the Internet for all to see!
The video was posted by a shop owner in downtown Anchorage, Alaska, whose business is located near the bar district. When the bars shut down for the night, the patrons are given the boot onto the street, and while we commend them for waiting on taxis rather than drying to drive home, how they choose to empty their bladders is causing concerns.
The shop owner, frustrated by the city's government not doing anything to help discourage the practice, has started posting these videos online in the hopes that people will be humiliated enough to hold it until they get home, or think to make a pit stop before heading for the door. But, if YouTube won't stop people from stealing, we're not too sure it'll help here, either. [From: FoxNews.com]

If the police catch them, they become registered sex offenders for having exposed themselves in public. In Los Angeles, nearly 20% of the registered sex offenders made it onto that list for having peed in an alley at night, because there are no public restrooms. People think sex offender = child molester. Less than 10% of those on the list had anything to do with anyone under 18 - and most of those people were 19 or 20 with a 17 year old girlfriend as the "victim."

It's not all of the bars in the area that are causing this problem, it's one bar in specific, seen in the video.
Of all the videos posted, only 10 of them show the bar closed, the other 23 clearly show the bar open for business.
Of those 23, 10 of the videos show the patron walking out the door of the establishment and directly to the doorway of the aggrieved business owner.
This is not about people waiting around after hours waiting for a cab, this is about an irresponsible and arrogant bar owner, his staff and an apathetic community council.

Anyone know the legal penalties for just peeing in your pants? Yes, ugh, but why risk a sex offender rap just for taking an urgent leak?
(hint-just go before leaving the bar and avoid all this trouble)

It is hard to believe that taking a leak in public can get one on the sex offenders list....gives one reason to think about using an aparatus such as used by truck drivers to contain the liquid in a bottle strapped to their leg..

Wonder if the shop owner can see Russia from the roof as well as he can see these sloshed johnson jockeys taking a whiz?
