The lawyer said he’s baffled that prosecutors pursued the case and that a youth judge oversaw a sentence that included probation and requiring the child to write a report about Kobe Bryant.

A 10-year-old Black child in Mississippi who urinated in public in August was sentenced Tuesday in youth court to three months’ probation, a decision the child’s attorney says was influenced by race.

Quantavious Eason, who is in the third grade, was arrested by Senatobia police Aug. 10 after a police officer saw him relieving himself outside next to his mom’s car when the woman was inside an attorney’s office, according to family attorney Carlos Moore.

Given the circumstances, any child would have done the same thing, Moore said. He noted there was no public restroom at the attorney’s office.

    Here in Germany it is illegal and you can get fined (no jailtime, as long as you dont try to show your dick to everyone).

    But I have never heard of anyone getting fined for it, but I only know people who pee in bushes and shit, no one that is so trashy that they pee on buildings and stuff, because I would imagine that those cases are prosecuted much more stringently.

    If you stop at any reststop at a highway or country road its also not very unlikely to see someone peeing into some bushes.
