Scofflaws of New York, rejoice the City Council has cleared the way for you to litter, loiter and pee in the street to your hearts content.
New legislation dubbed the Criminal Justice Reform Act was passed by lawmakers Wednesday, giving miscreants a get-out-of-jail-free card by eliminating the criminal penalties on a raft of quality-of-life crimes.
The disgusting and disturbing acts that the council voted to decriminalize include drinking alcohol out of a paper bag, lurking in parks after hours, urinating in the street and making enough of a racket to violate the noise code.
Under the legislation, which Mayor Bill de Blasio is expected to sign, offenders will face only civil summonses instead of criminal citations.

“Making enough of a racket to violate the noise code”.
Does that mean I can drive down Main St. with open headers on my car? I am sure that I would be arrested post haste if I did.
Or Carcass North.
Just being tolerant of cultural differences-
What is it with you people who criticize someone for posting an article previously posted but not discovered in a search? The search engine here leaves a lot to be desired.
Next time I’m in New York City I’ll make sure I piss in front of Gracie Mansion.
I’ve only been to NY once. And it was far more than enough. And that was when Giuliani was Mayor. How do people live like that? Los Angeles is the Garden of Eden compared to New York. Even if you are rich you are basically a prisoner in a condo. I would never give up the freedom to let my wife walk around at night without fear for the dubious advantages of life in NYC.
You, my FRiend, would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. But these little miscreants would only get a ticket, not a criminal charge.
You’ve met the FR’s self-appointed hall monitors then.
I managed to find it in about three seconds.
Perhaps the problem lies with operator error or ignorance.
In European Medieval times streets were sewers. Look at the disease levels of those days. (Yes, I know there were other factors.)

The search engine is fine. My only suggestion for improving it would be to have ‘titles’ be the default parameter. Other than that, a six-year-old could use it. Some just can’t be bothered.
I wouldn’t walk around LA alone at night, much less let my wife do it. That’s crazy.
Repeat
Repeat I get it!

I don’t live in LA any more. It was just a comparison. I’m armed and happy in Utah now.
