It's not illegal to drink urine, is it?

If I were to find out that someone I knew drinks urine, I think I'd be fairly creeped out and would make a mental note not to share a beer with them, but I don't think I'd call the cops. But that seems to be what happened to this poor loon.

Now, I freely admit that waiting until young boys pee in a urinal and then collecting it and drinking it is about as cringe-and grimace-worthy an activity as I can think of, but why exactly was this guy arrested? The urine was discarded by the boys when it streamed out of their meatuses, so I don't think it's theft, and he thankfully never touched or approached the boys, according to the article, so, really, why arrest this guy? It seems he was once a convicted sexual predator but that was 13 years ago, and I think you still have to do soemething illegal to get arrested, right?

Granted, he does seem like a very disturbed man and his science (drinking young boy's urine will some how impart some of their youth) is pretty suspect, but as far as I can tell, he did nothing illegal. Again, this is not a guy I'd want to go boating with, but I've always thought that one of the greatest joys about being an American would be that if I really had a hankering, I could chug a nice toasty glass of pee without reprisals.

Maybe they'll do some research and find out this guy was born in 1855. Then we'll be bottling that youthful pee.
