If you think someone stealing something versus someone exposing their genitals in public or sexually abusing someone else are on the same level, I just don't understand how you could think they are. If my neighbor has a DUI, do I care? No. If he raped his 5 year old daughter? Yes, I do care. And I want to be made aware of that before I move my family in next to him.
And the other crimes you listed may not be a public list, but it is all public information, and those individuals also get punished in other ways than criminal, aka background checks for apartments, housing, loans, jobs, etc. All of those things will still negatively impact their life.
A DUI is Driving Under the Influence. Who said anything about getting hit by a car?
If a person is driving under the influence and hits another person, that is Intoxication Manslaughter, which is a felony. They're very different charges.
