New Sov Theory: the Right to Piss

[wserra]

"Police said McIntire urinated between he and his neighbor’s homes at which time the neighbor reportedly asked him to stop because he has relatives whose young children visit him. McIntire reportedly told the man he would not, so the neighbor called police. When police questioned McIntire he allegedly claimed to be a Sovereign Citizen and could urinate on his own property."

I agree with McIntire. He can urinate anywhere he wants as long as he doesn't indecently expose himself.

Yo McIntire: piss where you want, but don't unzip.

The right of Americans to piss whenever and wherever you want has presidential connections. Billy Carter, ex-president Carter's brother, once took a leak on an airport tarmac while waiting for a plane.

Urinating is a commercial term, he was micturating.

And apparently the armed confrontation with the neighbor is probably what did him in.

it's always about beer with you.

[KickahaOta]

Well, you can't spell "urination" without "nation".

I hadn't considered the possibility that he may have been disposing of a case or two of Billy Beer;



but, given his proclivities, quite likely.

If I remember correctly, after leaving office, LBJ liked to do his business off the second story balcony of his house.

Outraging public decency at common law, that is - Sedley's Case (1675) Strange 168. I'm not sure if this precedent made it over to the USA, though.

Why do I have this odd feeling that alcohol was somehow involved?

I'm impressed by your knowledge of common law.

But to answer your question, most (possibly all) of the original states of the USA enacted, by statute, the common law of England as of 4 July 1776 (the date of the American Declaration of Independence) as the default rule to govern until they got around to enacting their own laws.

From the Sovereign Bill of Rights:

"The right of the people to pee on their property shall not be infringed."

Yeah, but his property line was a considerable distance away. Any neighbor wanting a look at LB's J, would need binoculars.

Ahh, I can't claim any particular knowledge - it's one of the better-known instances of Restoration decadence, which Pepys describes with his characteristic forthright wit. And it was in the news a couple of years ago when Charlie Gilmour (son of David Gilmour of Pink Floyd) was prosecuted for the same offence.

I'd be considering an electric fence.

According to the article Wserra posted, this incident occurred in the town of Show Low (presumably Show Low, AZ). Sounds like McIntire showed his low, all right.

As a man, the world is my urinal.

Men are swine by design. Problem?

Complain in church...

Chucking piss bottles, what a guy.
