A bit brazen this one, and surely he could find a better place if he was caught short?

But, of course, the reaction is a tad disproportionate...

I mean, 'nudity in public' :lol:

And 'bodily fluids urine' on the footpath. Wouldn't the word urine be sufficient? Of course, adding another couple of clinical-sounding words just makes it seem a whole lot worse than it is :?

And seems it manages to be 'in the garden' and on the 'footpath' at the same time. Maybe his aim isn't very good, or maybe it's journalistic licence...

Don't like the gesture with the hair at the end, though :x

Video on website, obviously, assuming you can wait for the ads to load :?


Furious resident films taxi driver 'urinating in front garden'

https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/li ... r-26550414

A concerned resident told the ECHO the act was "disgusting"

A private hire taxi driver was filmed appearing to urinate in a front garden in broad daylight.

The driver was caught on camera by a concerned resident of Highfield Street in Liverpool city centre on Thursday March 23 at around 9.30am.

The footage shows the male driver stood next to his private hire taxi. He appears to urinate into the front garden of a flat building on the road. He can then be seen getting back into the car and preparing to drive away.

The concerned resident who contacted the ECHO described the act as "disgusting."

They added: "Totally unacceptable. Nudity in public. There is now bodily fluids urine on the footpath."

"If you are making a journey you should be planning where and when you are going to stop - in restaurants, in hotels or in petrol stations. Good planning could have prevented this. Very anti social behaviour."

There is no single law dealing with public urination in the UK but there are a number of ways you may get in trouble for urinating in public.

Most penalties for public urination are laid out in the by-laws of individual local authorities under section 235 of the Local Government Act 1972. If you get caught going for a wee in public you are likely to be hit with a Penalty Notice for Disorder (PND) under Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986.

People who receive a PND will be fined £50 or £80, which they will have to pay within 21 days of receiving the notice.

seems clear enough to me he was stood on the pavement next to his car relieving himself over the property boundary. (and no I haven't bothered with the video)

'Seems clear enough to me' yet you 'haven't bothered' with the video? :roll:

Surely slight contradiction with the 'concerned resident' saying 'There is now bodily fluids urine on the footpath'?
