Hi Louis, Are we getting arrested for urinating in public in the CR? That`s the news for me. Where did you wee? Everytime I got off the train at Holesovice station in Prague I saw a bunch of homeless people peeing at almost every nook and cranny there. Even when I walked through an arcade of sorts in the city centre I could sometimes smell the nasty reek of urine. No, urinating in a public place is not an uncommon phenomenon. It`s really strange why they took you to the police station for such an offence. Indeed, it could be because you`re a foreigner and Czech police are famous for using double standards when choosing their victim. They would stop 20 cars with a German number plate to one car with a Czech plate. No worries about their preventing you from entering the CR. Such a petty act of misconduct must be laughed at. Take care Karel
