The Ocean City Police Department is prepared for this Memorial Day weekend with new recruits and stiffer fines for that most heinous of party-fouls – public urination.
Councilman and Police Commission Chair Doug Cymek told council this week and that the department had agreed to hike the penalty for public urination, a matter pushed by Councilman Brent Ashley after Dewey Beach did the same last year.
“I think it’s a strong move and it sends a positive message that we’re concerned about quality of life in our town,” Ashley said.
Fines for public urination have typically been $25, according to OCPD Chief Ross Buzzuro, but would be raised to $100 per incident.

Based on prior years numbers that should be an extra $5,000 for OC and you know it's all about safety…..
ReplyDeleteWell, with the refusal from businesses to offer restrooms to the public, this should be a real revenue generator! Good reason to stay in Salisbury for me.
ReplyDeleteSo if you gotta go, just go on the beach right next to the water. No one will notice. Just wash your shorts when you get home. But, God forbid, don't light a smoke or you'll get arrested.
