    It doesn't take much privacy to not expose yourself, all you need to do is not stand out in the open, you have a reasonable amount of privacy by simply being in an area that isn't well lit and quite a bit of privacy once you find yourself bushes or a dumpster.
    I'm having a difficult time actually finding an example of a person who ended up on a sex offender registry for just peeing outside. Can you point me to any real world examples?

    But urinating in public and exposing yourself are different things. You can expose yourself while urinating but that doesn't mean that you are exposing yourself just because you pee outside.

    2. They don't regulate urination, they regulate "exposure" which you are guilty of if you're whipping it out in a public place. e.g. (from the CA penal code):

    Exposes his person, or the private parts thereof, in any public place, or in any place where there are present other persons to be offended or annoyed thereby; or,

    That's my fucking point. Pissing isn't relevant, it's about whipping your dick out. You don't have to expose your penis to urinate in a public place. If you pull out your penis for other people to see making urine come out of it doesn't negate the exposure.
    You don't need to let people see your penis in order to take a leak in the bushes.

    I can't find urination mentioned in any of those statues, but I stopped searching at Idaho because it was feeling pointless.

    Can we stop pretending that public urination makes you a sex offender?
    If you're exposing yourself while peeing you're exposing yourself, but pissing in an alley on your way home from the bar isn't a sex crime.

    The Leaf seems like a nice car but let's not kid ourselves here, it's not a long trip vehicle. We currently have a Cruze and a CR-V which we also have a 6'x8' trailer for and I think a Leaf could replace the Cruze, because while the CR-V doesn't get great mileage I would only drive it if I had to haul something or drive a long distance and the money saved driving around town would be significant.

    My 2013 Cruze Eco has a normal key, if I chose the same model with an automatic a push to start button would have been an option. It's the same system though, if I very, very briefly flick the key over to "start" it still starts.
    Oh, and it gets better gas mileage than the automatic version of both the standard Cuze and the Eco and it isn't even remotely close to a sports car.
