Respectfully reconsider the additional consequence of an offender being added to the sex offender registry. It is outrageous to have someone charged a misdemeanor for having to relieve themselves, and have them entered on the registry for sex offenders. The registry was not formed to track habitual urinators! The people visiting State Parks expect common sense laws, and not be scared for life because of a natural biological need. Please reconsider the wording, and consequences. The code of Virginia provides the consequences as a misdemeanor. Forcing a citizen to register as a sex offender unfairly escalates the consequences to more liken a felony.
