More details to this question:
I got caught peeing in public in Bethesda, MD (montgomery county). What is going to happen? The cop said I go to court and do community service and this event gets expunged. Is that true? Do I need a lawyer?

Yes, you need a lawyer. Prosecutors take these cases very seriously. Any crime committed in Bethesda is taken very seriously. Don't be lulled into a false sense of security by the promises of the police. They tell suspects things to make them feel comfortable.
