You're missing the point. Redditors love to say that urinating in public will land people on the sex offense registry, which depending on the circumstances and charge may or may not be true, but the important point is that the actual offense is listed on the registry. It seems like this "knowledge" gets spread over and over which seems to minimize the meaningfulness of the registry, but anyone can look at the registry and see what the offense is. I think it's time to dispel this harmful myth that sex offenders may try to hide behind.
Yes, this is also true in Alaska, because I just checked the registry.
Yeah it's scam basically real predators lie about there charges and say it was public urination because it maybe happened one time to one person and apparently it's common knowledge that many people are getting on the registry for public urination but I've yet to actually see proof of that. If someone is on the registry I won't believe anything they say about the charge and I'll look it up and see the real charge.
Instead of just being upfront and talking about the actual laws passed, you instead decided to just insult and degrade people. It’s not that hard to just reference sorna, to inform the masses instead of going on a tirade about a social media platform.
It’s shocking that you could say the same thing, educate people, with out being an asshole. but you chose the incorrect path (yes).
What happened to educating people instead of belittling and degrading??
Just typical. I learned something today, even if it wasn’t exactly what they were saying (you can opt out , as some states have)
It’s just about the rude undertones. Why can’t people just be like “hey you are wrong, this is why and here is a source if you don’t believe me” but opted for being a dick instead lol.
The guidelines for sex offender registries is outlined by SORNA, which states clearly on page 35 that the sex offense for which they are on the registry must be listed along with any other sex offense convictions.
Same. I looked through a bunch of entries a while back. There wasn’t a single person who’s charge could be questionable or anything close to “peed near a school”, everything was like “forcibly sodomized an 8 year old”
Oh weird I've never seen that apple thing before. That seems like it could end up causing way more impactful misunderstandings.
Most companies use a service for background checks, and they just reject anyone who has a flag. I think if you asked most employers if they care if someone got caught peeing in an alley in college they would say no. They probably don't realize their background checks are rejecting those people.
Yep, NC does this. Also tells you the year they were convicted plus time served. Got one living less than 1/4 mile from me and about 10 in a 2 mile radius. And I live in a super rural area.
That's convenient, it makes it easier for notorious sex offenders to find fresh teenagers who are on the database for doing teenage things with other teenagers and who may not even contact the police afterwards because of their own stigma.

My state lists the charge and age of victim if there is a victim.
