Because in order to pee you have to expose your genitalia. I suppose the laws were made so that anyone exposing genitalia could be charged for it.

That being said, it is completely stupid that people are actually made to register as sex offenders when they really were just peeing. Doubly so when they did so without anyone other than themselves seeing their private parts.

They should visit India once. Of course many people will pee against an object (wall, tree) but at times not so hidden

Incidentally saw this funny discussion yesterday (the comments are funny): https://www.reddit.com/r/unitedstatesofindia/comments/18ufbu...

I think these United States have gone way above and beyond their duty as far as calling people sex offenders (not saying that Indians are right)

Did this actually ever happen to anyone recently? I assumed it’s just mostly a myth
