that car owner is probably a registered republican, and maybe a defender of "traditional values" and "fighting against the 2030 agenda"

    Or their close family is (since the sex offender is serving a life sentence)

      I might be wrong but I think in the US you can get registered as a sex offender for multiple things (one of them being public urination) and the registry is sort of free to the public with in some cases you having to out yourself to your neighborhood if you start living there even. So the life sentence might be referring to them having to always tell others about their registry.

        You'd think that there would at least be a distinction noted, between "public exposure/urination" and "sexual harassment and/or assault" in the database. But considering it's the US, whether it be by incompetence, sadism, or puritanical pearl-clutching I suppose not bothering is entirely in character.

          It's not public urination. That's what dudes say when they get caught flashing people their dicks

        Yeah, my understanding is that there are a lot of things that can get you on that list. Public urination is one.

        I sorta understand, because the issue there is basically indecent exposure. Though I have seen my fair share of people relieving themselves in alleys after drinking too much, and they're not trying to show anybody anything.

        If they can break down other crimes with intent, I don't see why they can't do the same here. "Indecent exposure with intent" could warrant being registered as a sexual offender, whereas public urination probably shouldn't be.

          This list is again one of the stupids things the land of the free has. Especially USA, because it has public access. Rehabilitation is the last thing the US is interested in.

          Their laws has so much inconsistency, so I can't be sure if it is legit if someone is on this list or not. And I mean it that way, because every stupid ass state has different laws. One thing can be a felony or misdemeanor in one US state, but can be legal in other US states, while being totally normal in other countries.

          However this is not an information which should be public available. If it is needed for work, then it should be possible to get a official document, where it is written if that person has committed crimes or not.

          The USA has a completely different legal tradition to where I live (inherited from the Brits). The mere possibility of putting someone in prison for 50, 500 or 5000 years is absurd.
