First, let me say I actually have a background in criminal justice, but specifically in the state of TN. It was a crime, but in 2020, the law was amended that you would not be added to the sex offender registry as long as the intent was just to “excrete.” If you needed to pee and weren’t trying to shove it in someone’s face. Before the text was added below, it was a $500 fine for the first offense.
“if the person makes intentional and reasonable attempts to conceal the person from public view while performing an excretory function, and the person performs the function in an unincorporated area of the state.“
