    Default Urinating on Public Place in Missouri

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Missouri

    Before start I want to say that I'm really ashamed, I feel stupid, I was irresponsible and Im really sorry for what I did, I know I should not have done it, I was really drunk........saying that I need to know what am I facing???, I was arrested a few days ago about 3 AM for urinating in public, this was in down town Kansas City, I was taken to jail, they took pictures when I arrived to the station, but they didint take my finger prints and book me until later that morning (11:AM), it is my first time in jail, I only had two trafic tickets before..... they let me go about noon, and I didnt pay anything at that time, they just gave me the ticket with a court day...What do you think I should do, I dont have any idea about what is going to happen...Can I go to jail for that? How much is the fine? the ticket says: bond amount $100...Penalty section 50-204.....shoul I plead guilty? Shoul I hire a lawyer?
    Im sorry again...I feel really bad as it is....

    Thanks for your help

    Quote Quoting Kansas City Ordinances Sec. 50-204. Urinating or defecating in public.
    (a) No person shall urinate, defecate or otherwise discard or dispose of human wastes or excretions on or in any public street, sidewalk, alley, park, parkway, parking lot, building, right-of-way, easement or other public place or on any private property exposed to the public view, except in a toilet or urinal receptacle within a permanent or temporary structure or enclosure of a restroom, bathroom, locker room or another toilet facility.

    (b) It shall be an affirmative defense to a charge under this section that the person charged, by reason of illness, infection, disease or other physical infirmity, is unable to control his or her excretory functions, unless such loss of control is due to the voluntary ingestion of alcohol, illegal drugs or other intoxicants, depressants or hallucinogens.

    (c) Any person convicted of a violation of this chapter shall be punished for that violation by a fine of not less than $50.00, but not more than $500.00 or by imprisonment of not more than 180 days or by both such fine and imprisonment.
    If your record is otherwise clean I doubt you'll get jail time, but there's no reason not to consult a criminal defense lawyer about a possible charge reduction or plea bargain. Most criminal defense lawyers give a free initial consultation.
