It really depends on how granular the laws get in certain areas.
But for example indecent exposure may not be a mandatory register on the sex offenders registry, but within 200m of a school or playground is mandatory. (even if it was 2am on a sunday in the middle of the school holidays during the dead of winter.) Like the whole getting booked for drunk driving for being drunk and going to your car to get a jacket.
There are people who are on the register who shouldnt be and people who absolutely should be who arent.
I am always fascinated by people who put a lot of energy into pretending that sex crimes aren’t a big deal and that a lot of registered sex offenders really didn’t do anything.
It is objectively untrue, and any amount of research will demonstrate that.
Its a thing that has happened like once or twice but every sex offender pretends it was them that it happened to and lots of people like to perpetuate the myth.
Pretty much what it feels like. I was expecting at least one or two anecdotes. It’s like the “welfare queen” argument. Are there individuals abusing those systems? Probably. Duh. But it’s not so severe that it should prevent us from helping literally all the other people. Tangent, but same stupid argument structure.
Are there really a lot of people who peed outside in the ranks of sex offenders? Kinda find that hard to believe.

Probably happens a lot more to black people, at least in the U.S.
Define “a lot”
It can also mean someone breastfeedig in public
It just comes across as arguing, “but sex crimes are often overstated and not that serious, mostly minor things!” No pun intended.
But when you look through the registries, the crimes are usually clearly spelled out and much worse than what you’re suggesting.
I was just double checking. Most convictions that carry a sex offender label are actually serious, but most is not all.
DUI can also mean being completely sober and not driving a vheicle.
And what am I “suggesting”??

So what is the deal? Why are doing it?
There are still thousands of people who are sex offenders for merely urinating in public. Try telling them their lives are just statistical noise.
I did not fucking say any of that. I said the opposite.
I hope it’s just contrarianism stretched to its breaking point.

Just like the teens out on the list for taking naked selfies. It might not happen a lot but the fact that it does at all is stupid.
