One town in Czech Republic does not take kindly to public urination and has found the most unusual but possibly genius solution to the problem.

When a 'No urinating' sign depicting a stick-man relieving himself in public did not do enough to deter the offenders, they took it one step further by threatening to upload videos of the offence onto YouTube.

The sign was updated to include a picture of public urination, a CCTV camera and the YouTube logo. 

None of these videos have surfaced online yet, but perhaps that's because the threat itself is working like a charm.

In Czech Republic, this is how you threat people, so they don't do bad things... pic.twitter.com/fk0MyBuqQf
