Title: New Waste Law In Vegas
Post by: Foxy Brown on August 23, 2006, 12:31:44 AM

Newly illegal in Vegas: Sleeping near urine or feces.

The new ordinance makes it illegal to "knowingly establish" sleeping quarters within 500 feet of defecation unless that "deposit" is made in an appropriate sanitary facility. It was passed unanimously by the Las Vegas City Council as part of a bill making it a misdemeanor to go to the bathroom in public. (http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=bizarre&id=4480738)
