Last night 2 of my friends and I were walking back to campus and were quite drunk, and we see this idiot we met at the party. He of course walks up to us and says hello and such. All of a sudden this idiot decides to go piss in a bush on campus. We stop and stand about 10 feet away from him and start talking/texting whatever. All of a sudden two fat cops pull up and talk to him and ask him for ID and asked him if he pissed in the bush. Of course the idiot says yes. The cops then ask me for my ID, and the two girls I was with said they didn't have their IDs. I'm wondering, "why is he looking at my ID?". I wasn't even in the bush or near it. I was on the sidewalk texting. The cop then gets a radio thing and they say "There is a fight up the road. The four of you really lucked out.". They mumble a few more things and get back into their car.

Besides the obvious DONT HANG OUT WITH RETARDS THAT PISS IN BUSHES, what exactly did I do wrong there? Was being by the scene enough to get a citation or something? me and my two lady friends didn't do anything, and were just near the kid who was pissing. He wasn't even our friend, he just walked by us and said hello and decided to pee in a bush..

Anyone who is an expert on law and such, if you could shed some light xD

obviously the police are just a couple of morons with too much time on their hands, but you probably already knew that and just decided to create this blog to brag about the fact that you were alone with two girls.

no, I'm fairly certain they were about to give me a citation. They took my ID and specifically told me "I'm Lucky".

and yea the police are morons, but nonetheless they can still screw me over with that kind of crap. Is it actually illegal for me to be near the kid?

Not an expert, but I've been told that just being nearby something of that sort is enough to get you written up as a toned down version of accomplice. Justification seems to be that it's your civic duty to not let the guy piss on the bushes (lol) and I imagine some cops would write you up for it after a bad day.

but you could also say that the guy was intoxicated and acting unresonably and such doing your civic duty could have put you in harms way.

how is peeing in the bushes anything out of the norm?

If you are not operating a motor vehicle you do not have to give him your ID.

public urination is cite-able in some jurisdictions, it can otherwise be folded into defacing public property, or perhaps vandalism.

You guys could have been cited for public intoxication depending on your jurisdiction.

That's not what he asked about, he asked how it's anything out of the norm.

And that's not what's relevant. He's essentially saying "what's the big deal?" when it was obviously concerning a police officer and something illegal. Similar to someone talking about getting caught smoking weed by a cop. People do it all the time, irrelevant to the topic at hand.
