“A final issue worth noting with these realities may well encompass sex offenders who are not violent predators, pedophiles, or rapists, yet still are required to register. This includes individuals who “moon” people, people arrested for urinating in public, and gay and bisexual men convicted of cruising parking lots for sexual partners in public places (Jones 1999).” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7649057/#CR33
Yes. If there’s 850,000 on the sex offender registry, a 1% “false positive” rate is almost certainly undercounting it, especially with the way our criminal justice system works. Do the vast majority 95%+ belong there, yes I believe that. But even a 1% rate leads to thousands of people being on the list unnecessarily.
First of all, dont quote me and rewrite my words. I never said “not actually guilty.” If you want to argue with yourself you dont need to reply to me to do that.
There are still thousands of people who are sex offenders for merely urinating in public. Try telling them their lives are just statistical noise.
No there aren’t.

And you believe that this supports your statement that there are
“l thousands of people who are sex offenders for merely urinating in public”
?

And your “1% of people on the sex offender register are not actually guilty” number comes from…?

And where does your 99%+ conviction accuracy rate come from?
Strange, I thought we were talking about registered sex offenders. Did you forget or just realize that you pulled that number directly from your ass?
If you want to make rules for this discussion, how about we start with you agreeing to stop making shit up?
Yes, registered sex offenders are a subset of the people convicted of crimes. What’s strange about that?
And what did I make up? I gave you sources for everything I claimed to you. Do you have anything to back up your claims here?
