      I guess that depends on the state. Taking a piss in this state is protected as a necessary biological function. Even when committing an act of vandalism. So at most here he would get the vandalism charge. Case in point years ago a Hispanic man who was very drunk entered a typical for the time all white church asking to use the restroom. They were very rude to him so he took a piss right there in the center aisle. He was arrested and charged with several things. One of them being indecent exposure. His lawyer got all of it thrown out using a very old law that states that you can’t prevent someone from performing a basic biological act. Its one case where somehow this backward ass state got something right. Probably by accident.

        That guy’s based, but it’s honestly kinda shocking there’s nothing stopping you from just intentionally taking a leak in the middle of the floor

          Nothing is stopping anyone from shunning you if you do. Just because you can’t be convicted doesn’t mean you will skate through with no consequences.
