Hannah Condick, a mother-of-two from Taunton, Somerset, said she saw the officer looking around her garden on Tuesday morning shortly after 09:00 GMT.
She filmed the police officer as he appeared to urinate.
She said “a cat is buried in that garden. If you need the toilet, go knock on the door.”
She posted online: “Support your local police force guys
“I believe that’s a charge and a fine?”
One person commented: “Why didn’t he just ask to use the toilet?”
Another defended him: “When you got to go you got to go...These people dont work in an office.”
