Uwe Max Jensen Fined for Pretending to Urinate

Uwe Max Jensen, a painter known for decorating house walls, claimed it was an artistic stunt that was not meant to be indecent.

He told the court in Herning, 270 kilometres west of Copenhagen, that he pretended to urinate by concealing a plastic bag containing water in his trousers and squeezing water on a wall.
The court said it wasn't necessary to establish whether he urinated or sprinkled water. It deemed his conduct "obscene" and unlawful, and fined him $165 US.

Jensen, 33, was reported to police following the July 11 incident at a house in Brande on the outskirts of Herning.

Police initially fined him $330, but he refused to pay. The court on Monday reduced the fine by half.
