Peeing on the street won't just get you arrested or a summons - it may lead to your deportation. That is, you'll be deported if you weren't supposed to be in the country in the first place. When police found David Rivera Cruzado urinating on a Queens street, they happened to run his fingerprints in the system and found that he had been deported in 1999. The Daily News reports that Cruzado pleaded guilty to illegally coming to the U.S. through the Mexican border - and that he may have to serve four years in prison before being deported again. Cruzado says he came to the states to support his mentally disabled daughter in Peru. His lawyer also added, "He had been out drinking and needed to find a bathroom; that's how this whole nightmare started for him. Society would be best served by sending him back to his home country as fast as possible."

Sooner or later every Seinfeld episode will happen to you.
why, pray tell, do the fucking nypd have to run FINGERPRINTS for somebody peeing on the street? what kind of authoritarian powers have we granted the all-militant department that one can't just get by with a warning, or at max, a fine, without being fingerprinted? i guess freedom isn't free, huh?
Well Mr. Freedom Tower usually the police would just give you a fine. But since none of us were there we don't know what else the defendent was doing. Maybe he pissed off the cops and they decided to take him in. Maybe the cops were at the end of their shift and decided to manufacture overtime by taking the guy in and processing him. Yes, they really do this! They will also take you to the station on really hot days when they want to get into air conditioning.
Freedom Tower: Why do you ask dumb questions. Aren't you tired of public places smelling like piss because some moron uses anyplace he pleases as a urinal or shit bucket.
Yes, and I hope they don't forget to slap a fine on the guy.
He should be sent to his country via the Mexican boarder as soon as possible. Between room and board, food, medical care, staffing to monitor this guy; it will cost close to $1,000, 000. to keep this guy in prison. He has paid no taxes. He has given nothing since he has been here. Send ill-mannered,illegal, free loading ass packing. Let his government deal with his illegal actions. Besides, we need the prison space.
It's part of the "broken window" theory. I guess the more obvious form of broken window says then when you've got stupid shit going on it creates an "atmosphere of lawlessness." But also, there is the idea that the person who commits a lesser offence is also capable of a more serious one. I get the impression, for example, that they will definitely run you for turnstile jumping, since every now and then you hear of somebody getting caught that way.
If you ever watch "Cops" you'll see that they pull drivers over for anything they can see (cracked windshield etc.) but then discover that the person is driving on a suspended license, has drugs, etc.
Perhaps all this is debatable, but it's definitely how it works.
This reminds me of the guy who was ticket for peeing in public literally while the WTC was collapsing.
bklynd: I don't have a problem with the means which is used via the "broken window" theory.
That theory can be used to save someones life as well. When something looks out of sorts, a child is behaving too nervously around an adult; a completely good, responsible, well known lawful citizen hasn't been seen in days, that too is a broken window which should be checked. Again, lives have probably been saved with the theory.
I watch Cops. They generally pick on a lot of poor people who are obviously screwed up. As far as meth (DRUG)cases go, which are featurred on Cops often, I would like to see them go to the wealthier neighborhoods where the biggest problem exists.
