A man in North Wales picked the wrong and the wrong time to have a wee. The incident happened at a service station in the Flintshire area.
Despite it being busy it is alleged the man urinated in public. This is a bad move at any time but it was particularly foolish as he was stood next to a marked police car.
He was arrested for "outraging public decency" despite protesting he had done nothing wrong.
The incident was highlighted by the Flintshire North Community Policing Team. They said: "I have some files to complete for another drug driver who's returned over, and for a 'outraging public decency' incident where, in the middle of the day in a busy services a male decided to urinate, right next to our marked police car.
"He was shocked when we wouldn't just let him go because he believed 'it wasn't that big of an issue'."
The offence of outraging public decency is when someone does something lewd, obscene or disgusting in the presence of at least two members of the public.
He was perhaps lucky he wasn't apprehended by the team in Flintshire who picked up another alleged offender that day.
In that incident a suspect who assaulted officers and continued to make threats was confronted with a police dog and an officer with a taser. The man sensibly gave himself up on the arrival of the dog.
