And being registered as a sex offender is absurd. That is NOT why those laws were originally passed. They were passed to mark rapists, pedophiles, etc.

Matters have degenerated to the point where people are on the "sex offender" list for being spotted taking a leak in public because they were desperate and couldn't find a restroom.

Yes, that is absurd.

Yet it was meant for people who expose themselves and subject children to sexual acts, especially in public.

I think it’s degenerated to the point where someone like you can’t understand why this is a serious crime.
