There are actually people who yearn for "old New York", a lawless New York once again. The days of rampant criminality of all sorts, without punishment in amount or severity to fit the crime and the amount of crime. The days of gangs, slashings, robberies, fear amongst subway riders, mass loitering, drugs, filth, illegal graffiti, and degenerates of all sorts roaming about. They say things like, "the city is not the way it used to be," "back in the days," and "the streets were crazy!"
Mmmmm.... the sweet smell of urine from a 70 year old junkie cooking on the sidewalk in the summer heat. I have so much to look forward to. Add dog and human feces to the mix and you have the DeBlasio Trifecta.

People already **** in public, and the punishment for getting caught is pretty much the same as before.
I guess people on here can't read, "Every offense that was prohibited yesterday will still be prohibited tomorrow", that means you still get a ticket and are held accountable with the civil justice system. You just won't get surrounded by ten squad cars and get arrested for public urination (which I have witnessed), while people are getting stabbed for IPhone's.
Deterrence is the talking point here. ie. Does decriminalizing these offenses (immunizing offenders from permanent criminal records) embolden people to flout the rules more than they used to? Some would say it does.
So instead you want to add to the list of homeless/unemployed, add to the already problem of mass incarceration of minority men then thus adding to the already problem of police infractions/brutality on minorities, possibly create and add to everyday crime since than these men would not be able to attain jobs,
all this for having a weak bladder....
surrounded by geniuses I tell you...
No, of course I do not. I am just fearful of what our gendarmes might do. (Personally I think there is nothing wrong with exposure and pissing in the streets is fine with me and should be commonplace.)
It appalls me that somebody could have his life ruined by displaying a body part.
We have too much Puritanism enshrined into our laws.
