Today, I saw a major accident then stopped to help the drivers. I was on my way to a rest stop to use the bathroom so as we were waiting for police I went into the woods and I come out to the police arresting me for public urination. One of the drivers said I was "using the woods for a bathroom." FML

So... you helped one of the drivers and they reported you? That's so rude. And besides, a little pee won't hurt the trees.

That's a crime?!?

Well, if people can see him from the freeway, it is. I know I wouldn't want to be driving my kid to Legoland and have him see some douchebag taking a dump on the side of the road. It's very suspicious that he said he was "arrested" for public urination, though. If everyone who was caught urinating in public was put in jail, at least the homeless people wouldn't have to sleep on the street. Oh, and this is a YDI for not walking 15 feet further into the woods.

He didnt say he took a dump ******. And he also didnt say that he was visible from the road ******. The drivers told the cop he was in the woods going to the bathroom. ...******

#27, while it's true that he didn't say he took a dump, he probably WAS visible from the road, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten caught. It's also true that you're a complete dickwad, so shut your face.

in the US, it is a crime, even if you go a mile into the woods and it's just to pee. They've arrested people for that. YDI, the drivers told the truth! What would you do if you were them and the police were like "umm... where is the driver of that car?" I mean, even if you say you don't know, when they see you coming out of the woods, they're going to KNOW what you were doing and arrest you. PS, you're a sex offender now (so long as you live in the US).

thats what ya get for trying to be a good samaritian lesson: never help people, it ends badly

So... you helped one of the drivers and they reported you? That's so rude. And besides, a little pee won't hurt the trees.

agree with #9. the cops should have let it go...wait ARRESTED?! for taking a whiz in the woods? i don't think i believe this one

Yeah. The worst that would happen would be a written citation or something. There's no way he would get arrested for it.

People get arrested for it all the time. Trust me- I've lived in New Orleans over Mardi Gras.

Yes pissing on trees is like fertilizer, really!

One more reason why you should never help people jk :P

You should've pissed on the cop.

What an asshole! After you tried to help him/her! To be honest I had no idea peeing in the woods was a crime. Huh.

...And that's why you never attempt to help a stranger. Also who doesn't know that pissing outside is a crime? (not saying the OP is stupid, I've pissed outside plenty of times, but to the people writing the comments...are you idiots?

Yeah, I guess I am an idiot. I obviously know pissing in public where everyone can see you is illegal but not when it's in the woods where no one can exactly see you.. Maybe ticket-worthy but not getting arrested.. Excuse me for not knowing this oh-so-obvious piece of information.

It actually shouldn't be a crime.. Public urination is a crime but if OP was out of sight from the street that's not illegal
