I was driving home from quite a distance (30 min. away) when I stopped by a local fast food joint to pick up a combo meal and extra large drink. After realizing I hadn't peed in a long time I desperately needed to relieve myself, and seeing nothing around me I stopped on the side of the road and did my business.
A cop happened to pass by and stopped, obviously thinking I was drunk (I didn't drink at all this night) and wrote me up a ticket. I first thought it'd be just a fine or something retarded, but after he drove off I saw that it was a misdemeanor, and I'm pretty pissed now.
What's the worst that could happen? I've heard misdemeanors stay on your record and all, and for something this stupid, this late at night (the cop was the only car on the road I saw for several minutes), I'm not happy about this. The cop didn't even see me piss, he saw me get into my car and assumed he would nab me for a DUI the whole time (it was 1am on a Friday night). When he flashed his lights at me I freaked out so I just said I was coming back from my friend's place and I really needed to piss.
I have to show up on court next month, and I really don't want this on my record. I've never even gotten a traffic ticket, the worst violation I've been in is a street sweeping ticket.
