Reply #87: Here's a couple of examples:

Michigan:

"It's treated like any other misdemeanor," Newton said. "(The involved person) would be ticketed with disorderly conduct under the state statue."

Michigan law states a person cited for disorderly conduct while urinating in public is defined as one who is engaged in indecent or obscene conduct in a public place.

Newton said someone with three disorderly conduct offenses is likely to be placed on the state's sex offender list.

Even though urinating in public could get a person labeled as a sex offender, MSU does not require students to leave university grounds once they're registered on the database.

New Hampsire(?):

Plaistow Deputy Chief Kathleen Jones said there is an average of five or six registered sex offenders in Plaistow at any time. She said the only problem the department has had with sex offenders in the 20 years she has been on the force is failure to register, which some sex offenders may not realize they have to do annually because laws change from state to state.

Jones also said that not every person on the sex offender list has necessarily committed an egregious crime such as rape or molestation because a conviction of indecent exposure, even in cases such as public urination, can land someone on the list.

As far as the 18/17 yo there was a recent case that made the news - I believe it was Georgia. Would post more to support my case, but I am swamped today - this is what I found in a 5 min search on "public urination" and "sex offender".

Are you Satisfied? Hopefully I'll be back on DU this evening.
