In the video, several marked and unmarked Customs and Border Protection vehicles can be seen pulling into the parking lot as several apparently armed agents got out of the vehicles.

School officials in Pico Rivera are calling for a federal investigation after immigration enforcement officers were seen on surveillance video appearing to urinate in the campus parking lot.

The incident happened on the morning of June 17, at Ruben Salazar High School in Pico Rivera. The El Rancho Unified School District shared surveillance video from the school parking lot on YouTube on Wednesday.

Over the next few minutes, nearly a dozen agents are seen walking to a part of the parking lot, near a couple of shipping containers. The agents seem to reach for their pants while walking to covered areas, stand still for several moments, then walk away. The district says school staff saw the agents peeing.

ICE agents exposed themselves to staff in a parking lot next to a preschool playground and an in-session elementary school. These agents need to be identified and prosecuted just like anyone else would be in such circumstances.

        Quite often yes. Because the laws don’t usually specify anything about time of day or school activity, just location. Peeing on the fence at 230 am at the school down the street from the dozens of downtown bars? Sex offender registry. Clearly you’re a pervert. And many State registries do little to differentiate severity or disclosing types of offenses, so that drunk guy pissing on the fence will be listed right alongside the church pastor that forcibly raped several dozen children.

        This one I’m not sure on, but if it’s during school hours or daylight I’m pretty sure yes. If it’s like the middle of the night I think it’s less clear, but each of the 50 states each have their own laws so no idea then. I’d wager yeah they could still charge you for that and leave it up to the court.

      Intent matters for laws that are meant to be used properly.

      Unless they intentionally exposed themselves, pissing in public shouldn’t net you a sex offenders list standing.

          Of course, that’s not a thing in every country. This is the same country that applies murder to criminals when cops kill people, so not surprised they wouldn’t care about intent for other laws.

          What a wild fucking place lmfao.

            Many European countries have strict liability and some of the EUs dirctives themselves have strict liability.

            What a wild place lmfao.

              Source for EU? And for sex offences atleast.

              Sounds like you’re trying to apply other law areas with strict liability to this one blanketly, which isn’t how it works…z

              As a semi aside blanket laws are no good anywhere, you’re not advocating for blanket laws are you…? Hope not.
