On one hand, that sounds obviously good, on the other hand, how easy is it to end up on the Sex Offender list? In America, hooking up in your car will land you on it for life
39Peeing in an alley will, too.
23What? How? why?
6It's always a question of where you draw the line. Two consenting adults hooking up (whatever you interpret that to mean, I'll assume that the adults are unclothed for simplicity), fine. Being in a car, fine. Hooking up in the private confines of your house, fine. Hooking up in public, not fine. Is a car considered a private location? I guess if someone sees you then no it is not. Hooking up in a camper would be fine. If you put up blinds on the windows of your car does that make it fine? What if you're parked on your own property? What if you're in your garage? What if you are able to find somewhere to park where someone would have to deliberately be trying to see in to see you? There is some case law already pertaining to being naked in your own home. Local laws may be different but are probably similar.

I’ve heard people from america getting on the registry just because of they are HIV positive.
1I didn't realise dogging was that risky over there.

It brings questions like how do you clear your name if you're once a sex offender? Why do we release those people back to the wild if we do not believe that they can change?
21In the UK the sex offenders register is used to prevent such people working with particularly vulnerable groups. Otherwise, they are 'back in the wild' once they have done their sentence
23It has some unintended and bizarre implications.
Take the scenario of some guy who goes out dancing, having a great time with their preferred sexual partner on the dance floor. On the way home stops in the park for a wank because they're single, young, drunk, horny and stupid.
They get caught, they're on the sex offenders register and they're banned from working with children or vulnerable people. And yet they're not more of a threat than the average person, certainly not a paedophile.
(If that looks suspiciously specific, it's not my story 😁)

It sounds like it's more persistent that blockchain

And what is a sex offender? I know someone that got a sex offender charge for peeing in a bush...
6I mean, they could still work at non-childcare jobs, or at least can here in Canada.
In general it's a good point, though. Westerners in particular seem to want their cake and to eat it too. Execution and indefinite incarceration are both inhumane, but they also don't want a guy who's openly a rapist anywhere near them in any context. Locally, reformable people are most of the prison population, but I do wonder what I'd do in the shoes of somewhere like El Salvador.

2The vast majority of them don't change, no matter how much they say they will.

14Wow, I wasn't aware they weren't already doing that. Good for them.
7I'm surprised but not surprised that wasn't already law there.
2Yeah, negl, it’s kind of infuriating to see people worried about the poor people who just made a mistake and somehow end up on a sex offender registry, and not the fact that the reason this is happening is because children were SA’d by people who had been able to sign up with a baby sitting service.
