Tourists tell police public urination is common in Spain

QUEENSTOWN, New Zealand – Two female Spanish tourists arrested for urinating in the Queenstown KFC driveway this morning responded with surprise, telling police public urination was common in their country.

Sergeant Kate Pirovano said the female travelers were spotted urinating about 12.30am, and promptly arrested.

However, they pleaded that they did not believe they were doing anything wrong, as they ”were allowed to do it at home,” Ms Pirovano said.

The women were released with a pre-charge warning.

”We get a lot of travelers through Queenstown, and pleading that they might be able to do something at home does not mean they can break laws in New Zealand – travelers need to educate themselves on local laws.”
