I decided to check. There are 8 in a 1 mile radius, including 1 guy in the apartment complex next to mine. There's even one female offender in my area, although she did her crime in Oregon.So why do we have to meet at my place every time?
Reminder that it doesn't mean anything, you can get in the sex offender registry for something as harmless as getting caught peeing behind a tree.

no but I live less than a half mile from multiple schools so I don't think they'd be allowed to live near meCrazy because I live within 1 mile of 2 schools, an elementary and a middle school and there's like 5-6 around me. You'd think they would actually take that part seriously and not let them live near schools, the ones near me aren't the 'got caught pissing outside' types either....

Then again he is listed in the "Non-Compliant" section so maybe he isn't supposed to be there.

How do you check?
no, that's correct. it's public indecencyIt doesn't happen though. If it's just public urination, it's usually a misdemeanor charge and you pay a fine.
More often it's someone deliberately exposing themselves who give the excuse "I was just peeing"
No, can't say I really care.Why don't you agree with the idea of a registry?
Honestly, I'm not even sure if I agree with the idea of a sex offender registry, from a purely theoretical/high minded legal point of view.
oh...I never even thought about that partSo who told you otherwise?

Don't give pedophiles the benefit of the doubt.
So who told you otherwise?
...the guy in this topic who said it's not possible to get arrested for peeing in public?Meant who told you that someone peeing in public gets you on the registry
Why don't you agree with the idea of a registry?
Maybe someone can correct me if I'm outdated on some of these things, but many of the restrictions seem to make trying to live your life after prison very very restrictive. Housing requirements for example. It's a level of post prison punishment that hinders a successful attempt at reintegration into the community.
Don't commit those crimes
No I get that. I guess I'm just like, if we don't think they'll successfully go back into society, why even let them out in the first place.
You're looking at it as all or nothing. It's not that they can't successfully go back to society, it's just that... When they reenter society, people deserve said knowledge about what they did. Likewise, for the criminals, they deserve the chance to reenter society, even if with restrictions.
That all seems fair enough but do they really have a chance?
...Yes? Plenty of previous sex offenders have lived normal lives.
I'm gonna have to bow out of this conversation, because it's rather emotionally charged, for me.
People suggesting it's somehow unfair for people to know when a convicted sex offender lives near their family is just... Wild, to me. If said sex offender didn't want people to know they're a sex offender, they should have, you know, not been a sex offender. Again, this isn't smoking weed, or even petty theft. Being a sex offender means you committed one of a very specific set of crimes, virtually none of them victimless.
I am extremely uncomfortable now there are 189 offenders around my location almost all of them are are people convicted of sexual offenses against children and there are a shitload of schools around here, one location has freaking 12 of them around a school
the others are sexual battery and assault and only 1 is rape. and one of these perverts is 2 houses down from me.
