A friend of mine told me a story about his brother and how he was out drinking with some buds one night and of course when you drink a lot, you have to pee a lot.
Well, they were walking and the urge to pee hit him. No bathrooms around so he went behind a bush to take a leak.....Next thing he knew red lights hit him and he was being arrested for indecent exposure...Which of course puts him on the Sex Offender Registry.
Now could this this scenario true? If so, I really have a problem with the Sex Offender Registry. I think that should be reserved for the "hardcore" child molesters, rapists etc. Not "peepers" (not that they are very welcomed in my neighborhood) and "exhibitionists" (I have no problems with them, if they are 18, hot and of the female kind) or minor "infractions". I know it will be hard to determine what qualifies as "minor", but here's my reasoning........
I live in a decent neighborhood. Average 2 bedroom house is $650,000+ (yes, this is CA) and rents are in high 1 thousands for a single bedroom apt.
I decided to check the Megans Sex Registry and ran a search of 1 mile radius from my address.....HOLY CRAP!!!! I guestimate about 75 - 100 sex offenders (and this is only felons that bothered to register). How the hell am I going to determine who I should keep my kids from? I can't keep them in all the time as that is what I'd like to do after seeing this. I think the Sex Registry is a "scare tactic" and not effective at keeping track of those capable of hurting our families.
I think it needs to be "scaled down".
Your thoughts.
