Urination
 

The mere fact that something as natural as peeing behind a tree in the woods would be considered a class 1 misdemeanor and now a class 3, and registration as a sex offender!! What Moron came up with this! Do bears have to register? I can think of times on a hike where bathrooms were not available what do you do? Get branded for life as a pervert for trying to enjoy the outdoors and having an unplanned bathroom need. If you are going to be stupid enough to do this it is your responsibility to provide clean safe restrooms at intervals where handicapped individuals who have issues would be able to have access to facilities. I believe I'll stay away from VA state parks. Thanks for the warning!
