Unofficial slogan of uber-liberal Austin, TX - it's all over the city.

Hundreds of convicted sex offenders are no longer being monitored by sworn police officers in Austin, Texas due to the city’s move to defund the police and cut police academy classes.
As of 2019, there were about 1,600 registered sex offenders in Austin according to the state's sex offender database. There is no law preventing any of them from living near schools or other places where children tend to congregate, according to a local news report. About 650 of those cases were handled by officers who checked in on the registered sex offenders weekly to ensure they were where they reported themselves to be. But three of those officers were sent back to patrol as a result of the decision to defund the police, including slashing three cadet classes at the police academy, in August 2020. Defunding the police forced the department to cut the Sex Offender Apprehension and Registration Unit (SOAR).
Those cases once handled by sworn police officers are now being monitored by civilian employees, including two who only work part-time. The civilian monitors lack arrest authority and some question whether they are able to keep up with the increased caseload.

A quick lookup; urinating in public is considered a sex offense.
More information is needed to evaluate the situation in Austin
With the disproportionate number of voters at UT, it doesn’t take a lot of liberals to outvote conservatives in Austin.
Even in a place like Austin Texas I’m sure volunteers could be found to keep tabs on child molesters.
Of course, that might lead to some “accidents” happening to such individuals.
I watched 1 & 2 the other day.
That character had a rough go of things.
First NYC, then LA...
Austin is really going to hell with all the Cauliphonya idiots moving in.
Host an open audition for Cabaret extras, offer an open bar, all your pervs will shows up soon enough.

Do these civilians also do drag queen story hour at their local library’s ?
Just wondering.
Some 20 year old has too many beers and urinates in the alley is caught by the cops and he is considered a perv for the rest of his life?
I’m not say all listed sex offenders are just drunks but our system is has some flaws and an impartial judgement is needed.
When i was 18, i went to Germany on a Lutheran Church charter flight. When there, visited my grandparents in BingerBruck. My Opa, my father, and i walked to a local brauhaus for an evening; on the way back to the house, each of us visited stone gate pillars on the streets and ‘watered flowers’. Very European.
