A Swedish man charged with public urination has been acquitted by a Stockholm court, opening the door for thousands of others to avoid fines for heeding the call of nature in public.
In throwing out the charges against the 45-year-old, the Nacka District Court cited a previous appeals court ruling in which a man was acquitted because he didnt intend to offend anyone when he unzipped his trousers.
There is a ruling with legal force where a man was acquitted for the same reason after having peed behind a container. The court of appeal found then, just as we have, that the intent to offend or offensiveness in and of itself, was lacking, Annika Johansson, a judge with the district court in Nacka, told Metro.
Public peeing OK if no one is offended: Swedish court - The Local
Imagine if they passed something like that in any of our major cities. Ewwwww!
