Pissy Beebs

In some cultures, and now in Florida, apparently, the act of urination carries no special modesty protection. A judge ruled in March that video of Justin Bieber expelling for a urine test after his January drag-racing arrest in Miami Beach was a “public record” and had to be released to the press under Florida law. A perhaps overly generous black box was edited into the video to make it somewhat less explicit. In the video, only one officer is present, observing, based on protocol that respects the suspect’s “privacy” — though the Florida judge, in essence, invited the whole world to watch the lad pee. The video quickly hit the Internet.
