To answer your questions:

1) Public urination is a ticket (got one in college, many years ago).

2) Speeding is a ticket unless you are going excessively fast (100mph in 30mph zone; these numbers vary among states).

3) Too drunk on the street will get you taken to the drunk tank to sober up/ sleep it off (not jail).

Sorry, but getting off with a ticket depends on what you look like and where you're doing it. You'd probably be outraged if a cop flagged you down and decided to frisk you, but that's what happens in many non-white neighborhoods in NYC every day, Constitution or not.
