I drove from Massachusetts to Los Angeles, so I bought a 'Unisex Personal Toilet' which is basically a plastic tube with a cover. As a fella, it's easy to use. According to the description it can be used by women as well. Important to rinse out fairly thoroughly, or the smell can get pretty bad.
I wouldn't use it while driving. I stopped by the side of the road, and put a jacket over my lap. I held my cellphone up like I was looking at it. I'd open the passenger door and discreetly pour on the ground.
Someone once asked me what I was pouring out, and I said, 'I think something is wrong with this lemonade. Taste for yourself.' OK, I'm kidding about that.
Well, that's only in the areas where there was much traffic. I drove Des Moines to Denver to Las Vegas, and I also saw the 'no service for 100 miles' signs. There are still very rural areas of the US, I found.
It's not like drivers are 3 year old children. They'll plan accordingly when taking long trips. It's rare that there will be an 5 hour stretch of road with no facilities. Like I said, if it's an emergency, such as you're not feeling well... you do what you got to do. But that's also your sign to take a break from driving until you feel better.
But as a lawyer you should know that one cannot plan for every possibility encountered on the road. A "poopy" or peeing emergency is just that..."an emergency." Lest say that you are traveling on a road where there are "facilities," but for whatever reason you have to divert your travel to another road where there aren't facilities?
See...in Alaska we have few roads, but the ones we have are very long (hundreds of miles). There are some public facilities along the major highways, but these are lined with wilderness at both sides. I I decided to step out of the car, face the road, and pee away, then that could be considered indecent exposure. In fact, some Alaskans traveling on the same road with their children or relatives could get upset enough to stop-by and kick your behind or something worst.
Folks like you living in cities and traveling on busy roads should not go out there and pee in the open, but instead do like we do in Alaska: we just walk off the road into the bush, and do what we must. Otherwise just have potty pots and the rest as you travel.

But you're saying that being caught in a blizzard for a night is not an emergency. That's what I don't understand. How is it not an emergency?
As my earlier posts stated, that if you have an emergency situation, you do what you have to do. I would consider being caught in a blizzard to fall under an emergency situation. But you guys are saying that it's a usual non-emergency situation. If that is the case for you, then you should plan better. But for most people, it would be an emergency situation and one that you do not expect and cannot plan for.
But you consider that a "usual occurrence"? I would consider getting caught in a blizzard unusual and an emergency situation. I don't understand why you think it's not an emergency situation.
A peeing bout from an enlarge prostate could very well be an emergency. Your urologist can write a medical note indicating your condition, and you can use this note when flying or driving as backup should you have some trouble with the police or the flight attendants. But as I said before, it does not mean that you should just let it all hangout in public. Step off the road into the bush. It's that simple.
Wow, I sure would not want you as a lawyer! If you are a male, wait until you are around 60, and then tell other males not to pee off the road (in private and in the bushes) if they have the need to do that. You won't find anybody in the US, not even a judge, who would convict a driver who pees out of the public's view.
In days of old,
when knights were bold
and toilets weren't invented,
they dumped their business beside the road
and went along contented.

Just how I've heard it.
As far as sex offense, it all depends on intent. If a perp is doing their biz with the intent on showing off and getting a rise on folks seeing it, off to jail with them. That's the law, and that's why it's in place. Anyone else would use discretion I'm sure.
I read that outside urination means lifetime sex offender if caught. In the book "Arrest Proof Yourself" by Dale Carson, ex-FBI and traffic cop. I love this country. Its like walking on a razor. Exhilarating challenge.
Except that navigating the 70,000 page tax code gives me PTSD. Canada's is terrible as well with 50,000 pages of tax code. 70,000 pages of tax code. I need to learn to appreciate the exhilaration.

I, too, find it strange that you don't consider being trapped in a blizzard as being an emergency.
