SAN DIEGO -- The California Supreme Court Monday upheld part of Jessica’s Law, which prohibits registered sex offenders from living near schools and parks. However, the high court sent questions about the constitutionality of the law to the lower courts to figure out.
The case involves four plaintiffs, two from San Diego. J.S. is a registered sex offender because he was convicted of urinating under a railroad trestle in 1985 in Texas. K.T. raped an adult 20 years ago.
J.S. and K.T. are on parole and said they’ll end up homeless under Jessica’s Law, which states that registered sex offenders “shall not reside within 2,000 feet of any public or private school or park.
According to this article State Supreme Court Upholds Part Of Jessica's Law - San Diego News Story - KGTV San Diego , urinating in public is apparently on par with rape.
This sounds totally insane to me. What do you think?
You have kids in high school getting prosecuted for possession of child porn for having a naked picture of their girlfriends and all sorts of hysteria.
I'm a sex offender?!??!?!?! :shock::shock:
Is tool size a factor?I'm a sex offender?!??!?!?! :shock::shock:
So your single scenario is the basis for your decision to make them all sex offenders? :roll:If some creepo walks to a park full of kids, whips out his winkie and begins pissing..... absolutely.

I think the only people who should be labeled sex offenders are rapist,child molesters/rapists and child pornographers.These types of offenders is what the Jessica's law, the Megan's law and etc are supposed to protect kids from. Some guy pissing in the Bushes is not going to kidnap little Timmy nor is some 18-20 year old who got busted for engaging of statutory rape of a 15 year old nor is some crack whore prostitute down the street a threat to little Suzy. So I voted "The sex offender laws need total revamping"

Absolutely not, but we've gone crazy with the sex offender thing. We've demonized it so much and run so purely off of emotion that we've set up an insane system where people end up on lists, those people sometimes can't even find a place to live because of the restrictions, etc. There's automatic punishments, automatic placement on lists, you can't readily get off the lists, etc. It's an entire system made by scared, stupid people because oh won't someone please think of the children. In the meantime, innocent people get caught up. You have kids in high school getting prosecuted for possession of child porn for having a naked picture of their girlfriends and all sorts of hysteria.
We need to stop listening to the stupid people, they aren't doing us any good.
Why does it have to be all bad or all good? Why can't we just create distinctions between child rapists and people who piss in a train yard?
Are you honestly saying we shouldn't try to keep track of child rapists? Are you honestly suggesting that it's paranoia to try and protect children from people who are pathologically inclined to rape them!?
If I may be so bold to speak, I believe Ikari isn't saying that we shouldn't try to keep track of child rapists, but rather we shouldn't put people who urinate in public on the same level as child rapists and keep track of them too.
