Introduction<\/h2>\n

Many people think of urinating in public as a minor transgression, but Arizona law (A.R.S. 13-1402<\/a>) considers it a serious offense under some circumstances. The penalties for this crime will vary based on your criminal history and how old the witness to the exposure was.<\/p>\n

For example, if you commit this crime in front of a person who is 15 or younger, the penalties will be more severe. Aggravating circumstances can escalate the crime from a misdemeanor<\/a> charge to a felony.<\/p>\n

While local regulations may differ when it comes to indecent exposure, there are laws that apply to the whole of Arizona regarding this topic, which we\u2019ll cover below. Even if the exposure doesn\u2019t involve a sexual act or intention, public urination is still considered a sex crime<\/a>. If you\u2019ve been accused of this crime, you should seek legal counsel as soon as you can.<\/p>\n
