> some people get put on them for nothing more than public urination

When minor offences can get people put on the register, this dilutes the meaning of being on the register.

Every actual sex offender will claim they're on there not because of the serious crimes they committed, but because they went nude on the wrong beach, or something similarly minor.

Have you ever looked at one of the registries?

The ones I've seen have had details about the offense(s).

We don't have public ones here in Australia, so no I've never looked at one.

Having details would make it harder to play down the offenses. But only if someone bothers to check.

Queensland allows residents to see the details of offenders in our local area, but you need to provide extensive ID to do so, and leaking that information is itself a crime. Daniel's Law was introduced in 2025 so this is pretty recent.

you've never looked at any of them but you have an opinion on how they should and shouldn't be?
