    Smile Public Urination - Jersey City Ordinance 242-5

    I got a ticket to appear in court for urinating in public. I looked up the ordinance but it does not have any on there about the penalty. What could be the possible penalty?

Each day a violation of any provision of this Code or any ordinance shall continue shall constitute a separate offense. This section shall not affect any mandatory minimum penalty established by any section of the Code or ordinance.
