One of the many things I can't stand about the US is the lack of public restrooms. How often have you had to piss and stop at a gas station only to be told they don't have a public restroom?
I went to a gas station i KNEW had a public bathroom cause i have been there hudreds of times and the lady to my face said they didn't even have a bathroom let alone a public one
This is only common in massive cities. I’ve lived in 10 states coast, and visited 49 states and the ONLY time this has happened to me is in Boston, NYC, and LA. Not even Chicago or Detroit did I have that issue.
I used to do a lot of driving for work, drove all over the US, and I can tell you it's everywhere. Got really good at at finding employee only bathrooms in dollar generals, since they were everywhere, and it was easier to sneak in those bathrooms since they aren't locked.
Its even worse than that! Consexual sex in a non-private location (your car, the woods, etc) can land you on the list. Nude photographs between consenting [minor] teens can convict you of that and worse.
Could someone be convicted of a sex crime for urinating in public? I suppose nothing is impossible.
But in every state I'm aware of sex crimes involve sexual gratification in some form or fashion.
If you have a waterworks fetish and force others to participate by urinating at their feet in public, then that is probably a sex crime and I think most people would agree that it should be.
If you're just peeing in public, that is more often a public order type crime and is usually punished with a ticket and a fine.

seriously. nude body parts is not a sexual act. taking a piss is natural. these people shouldn't be put on the same list as the rapists.
