NYC eases severity of laws against public urination, drunkenness

FOX: New Yorker City residents and visitors may see more public urination soon. That’s because the city council has decided that such activity will now draw a civil ticket, like breaking the speed limit, rather than a criminal summons.

The council — in a move that mirrors a similar action in Denver — also downgraded the severity of similar offenses, like public drunkenness. Instead of going before a criminal judge, offenders will be required to attend an administrative hearing.

 

The shift in policy is the result of the Criminal Justice Reform Act and critics say that it undermines the city’s long-time “broken windows” policing policy in which cracking down on minor offenses, like public urination, is deemed to prevent more serious crime from occurring, according to the New York Post.  MORE

  1. go ahead liberals. Your cities are already toilets.
    Go back to the medieval days of the Black Death
    The other Black Death. Scarlet fever. Keep devolving.
    You’re doing a great job.

  2. NYC changes policy on public urination…
    people should pee in their chamber about once an hour,
    This represents a serious downgrade in the cities public health standards,
    Very soon, NYC will mean Now Your Cesspool.

  3. Back in the early 90s the Boston subway system used to have homeless drunks passed out in the stations with rivers of piss flowing from them. I guess they were ahead of their time.

  4. Interesting. You can do it in the public streets of NYC without a hassle, but if you film yourself doing it and put it on you tube or twitter, it’s a problem. Remember that for future reference, Carlos Danger.

  5. Lefty policies and Dem Mayors destroyed NYC in the 70s. Verge of bankruptcy.

    Giuliani plus a million decent NYC citizens cleaned up the Lefty mess, at enormous cost in time and wealth.

    The Left learns nothing, and the same failed policies are back to destroy NYC again.

    All together now:

    “The Left destroys everything it touches. “

  6. I used to visit The City as a teenager, before Giuliani, and the first thing I’d notice upon stepping off the train from LI was the pissy smell – and it was everywhere. After Mayor Rudy started cleaning things up, much less stink. Bo Dietl is running for Mayor next election and he is great. He can turn The City back around if people will show up and vote. Super low turnout last election played a big role in electing Red Bill DeBlasio.

  7. Minor offenses like public urination/defecation can be cause to revoke the green card or rapefugee status of Leftist Alliance invaders. A Musloid is just as like to crap in a street cafe and sling feces with his left hand than use a toilet; he doesn’t know any better a the Left doesn’t want him civilized.

    That’s why the commies are allowing this.

  8. Remember the walk of piss in seattle after getting off of the
    ferry?
    Keep that shit in your shithole cities you smug bastards. I don’t
    wanna hear the whines that come out of it.
