The fact that there is a law against public urination is just crazy imo.
Peeing on your own property is one thing, but would you be ok with some stranger standing on the sidewalk in front of your house or on the sidewalk in front of somewhere you frequent and just whipping it out because he is too lazy to find a toilet?
Just because a ticket was issued doesn't mean it will stick. This is exactly the reason we put judges in place... to make rational judgement calls.

It's also why we sometimes have to pay attorneys hundreds or even thousands of dollars in fees to make something totally stupid go away.
Don't count on judges always being pillars of reason and bastions of logic.
Saw this on the morning news and both my son and I were astounded. Could not believe the bad judgement the cop had. From the looks of the lot the house is on, they are on a sparsely populated court; it's not like the neighbors are 6 inches apart. Glad to see the chief has common sense.
