Registries continue to punish youth years and even decades after they have served time. Data and research show that registries don’t improve public safety.

There was a video on the old site, recently, where a Ring doorbell caught an officer interaction. Man reported other man as grooming his daughter, who was convinced to send nudes. Cop said she could be arrested for creating child pornography. This is the stupid world we live in.
According to a podcast I listened to a few years ago, kids have even gone on the sex-offender list for pissing in public. I don't doubt that to be true. It made me a lot more cautious about peeing on a tree late at night when drunk.
The idea that my life could change because somebody claims to see my junk is, frightening.
The officers and DA want to fluff up their arrest and conviction records. CP charges generate such an emotional response out of people that they rarely look closer at the case until all is said and done. The LEOs know this. That's your motive and method.
That was from my town unfortunately. Bored cops who didn’t want to do their job when a concerned dad called and they (thankfully) had a complete loss of situational awareness so we all get to watch what happened on the doorbell camera.
Good on the dad for immediately shutting them down when he saw the direction it was going: https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/crime/2023/09/18/columbus-police-officers-backlash-viral-video-child-sexual-misconduct-call-11-year-old-grooming/70895034007/
