A very common action can cost dearly: this is what a boy from Brianza discovered who is evidently unaware of what the law says.
When he runs away, he runs away and there is really nothing to do. It must be what she thought of her despite a young Brianza who, in the middle of the night, found himself forced to urinate in a parking lot to empty his bladder.
What is to all intents and purposes a natural action, made to fulfill a physiological need, however, we must not forget that it is not permitted by law. Exactly, urinate on the street it is no longer a crime as it once was but it can cost a very expensive fine.
Urinating in a desolate area? Better not
The boy in question stopped inside a parking lot around 4 in the morning because evidently he could no longer wait for the moment to get home to get rid of that bulky weight.
It’s a pity that at that very moment chance and bad luck wanted one to pass Carabinieri steering wheelwho was meanwhile patrolling the surrounding area.
The agents of the car, perhaps with a excess of zeal but who have done nothing but apply the law, they have inflicted on it a fine of 5,000 euros for breaking one of the articles of the Criminal Code.
Exactly, in these cases the Penal Code even intervenes, precisely the article 276 which once spoke of “acts contrary to public decency” for which there was a risk of fines from 5,000 to 30,000 euros and even a criminal sentence if the crime was committed in the vicinity of minors.
Now the law is a little more lenient in this sensewhile maintaining a certain level of severity. Today urinating outdoors is considered a “simple” administrative offence which costs between 5,000 and 10,000 euros: at least, however, it is no longer taken into consideration as a criminal offence.
Luckily for the 29-year-old is that the agents have not decided to investigate why it is so much needed by carrying out a alcohol testing which, if he had detected values above the norm, would have triggered the criminal offense for driving under the influence.
In that case, other than 5,000 euros, because there would have been a withdrawal of the license and the seizure of the car. However, the boy was able to go home, with a fine behind him, but without further complications.
A question that reopens the age-old problem of public toilets and places where, for emergencies or other reasons, it is necessary to fulfill a physiological need.
We don’t know if the case in point was simple laziness or a real need that could no longer wait: we must not forget, however, that many people may have health needs that lead them to urinate frequently.
If you are among those unfortunately you have to remember that the law is still quite strict in this regard and in case look for a really secluded place, like a grove.
