One big issue is that not everyone on the registry is actually a sex offender. There are plenty of people who end up on it for shit like pissing in an alley across the street from a playground on their way back from the bar at 2am.

I was close to ending up on it for taking a piss on the side of the road because every gas station was closed. I even walked a bit into the woods, but the cop didn’t care. Luckily he was called away to an actual emergency before arresting me.

This is also why the death penalty is so problematic.
