Westminster, CO Public Conduct: Public Urination (2026)

' Alongside acts of sexual intercourse, deviate sexual intercourse, lewd exposure done to arouse or satisfy sexual desire, and lewd fondling of another person, and masturbation, subsection (A)(6) lists 'an excretory function, including urination, defecation or expectoration,' meaning public urination and defecation are charged under the same statute as these more overtly sexual offenses rather than under a standalone nuisance or sanitation code. The section does not require proof of sexual intent for the excretory-function clause the way it does for lewd exposure or fondling; the act itself, performed publicly or where it may reasonably be viewed by the public, is what the ordinance reaches.

' The section is distinct from indecent exposure, addressed separately in Section 6-4-2, which specifically targets knowing exposure of genitals likely to cause affront or alarm; a person could be charged under 6-4-1 for public urination without any allegation of the genital-exposure element required for a 6-4-2 charge.
