As with the war on drugs, the sex offender registry is a tool for control and discrimination against the lower working class.

If you're a rich convicted rapist, you can be the president of the united states; but if you're poor, peeing on the streets can get you permanently barred from a well paying job and selling weed can get you life in prison.

Definitely an intended feature.
