A woman from Hull has been jailed and handed a Criminal Behaviour Order which bans her from 'defecating in a public place' amongst other things.

49-year-old Brace Hull has been jailed for 46 weeks, as well as handed a three-year long order.

Named Hull, from Hull. What are the odds?

I suppose up until now, I wrongfully assumed we were all banned from shitting in public

Enjoy your newfound freedom!

same here, i just had a quick look around and it seems there's no national legislation, so it comes down to whether your local council has enacted a byelaw, which they might have done. postcode lottery again

What is even the point of living if you can't shit in public?

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 12 points 11 months ago

You still can, you just can't get caught.

I prefer The Great Escape Technique.

Howโ€™s that any different from normal public shitting?

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 8 points 11 months ago

You do it in your pants but shake it out of your trouser leg, so one's bum cheeks are never visible, thus circumventing obscenity laws.

This workflow requires very specific consistency, it's not recommended for beginners. Strict diet have to be followed as a preparation to achieve a perfect Bristol Type 1-3 on demand

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 6 points 11 months ago

I wasn't claiming it was easy - I've spent years honing my diet to the point where I can consistently pull this off. It's not a beginner technique and not undergoing all the training and preparation could be disastrous.

It only works if you whistle the theme tune.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 3 points 11 months ago

The whistling is key.

Does this include public restrooms? How bad do you have to wreck a public toilet, and how many times does it take before you're considered a legal threat to a coffee shop bathroom? Asking for a friend.

I hate that the article only details the sentencing, and not the reason behind said sentencing.

The fuck did she do? Shit on the sidewalk or just absolutely evacuate a public bathroom with the fowlness of her bowel movement?

Brace?

Hilarious name for a twin I suppose ๐Ÿ˜‚

[-] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Yankee here. I've been to Hull, Massachusetts in the US and she would fit right in

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah holding the UK is a pretty massive dump as well. So I'm glad the thematic consistency.

Disgraceful. Who does she think she is, Paula Radcliffe? ๐Ÿ˜‡
