UK equivalent of Megan's Law inches closer, with no mention of differentiating between child abusers and people caught urinating outside in the dark.

families will be able to ask police if someone with access to a child has convictions or has been previously suspected of abuse.

What happened to innocent until proven guilty? One false accusations, and a person's entire life will be destroyed.

Urinating outside in the dark is indecent exposure if a female happens to see it and interperets as such - according to the law.

Also bear in mind that in the UK today you are a paedophile if you forgot to throw out old copies of the Sun with 16 year old Sam Fox topless photos that rescued that paper's circulation in the 1980's. You're also a paedo if you click on a cartoon picture of somebody in a schooluniform or if you talk sexy online to a '25 year old' who turns out to have been 17.

All 'proven paedophiles' according to laws made by crazed feminists in the last 10 years. So yes, as an MRA I have a problem with this law in itself.

Also bear in mind that this will obviously just send child sex offenders underground and prevent them from ever rehabilitating themselves back into society. Another example of how feminist sexual pressure groups (child 'protection' charities) exploit paedohysteria in order to send a warning to men not to go anywhere near anyone under 25. At the same time as actually hindering genuine efforts to prevent little kiddies from being raped or molested.

Unsorted comments :

the Reddit title is biased; I have doubts that being "caught" urinating outside in the dark would make one a sex offender in the UK. Can anyone confirm or deny this ?
the excesses of Megan's Law in the US come from a lack of legal framework regarding databases. The UK is subject to the relevant European directives and thus will be spared much of the problems observed in the US.
one thing in the article caught my eyes: the database would include people "suspected of abuse." (emphasis is mine) Even if the article is correct on that point (which I doubt), British courts would uphold the rule that people are innocent until judged guilty and this would not stand (and if not British courts, the ECHR would have a field day with that kind of provision)

The main problem with that kind of provision still remains the creeping extension that invariably follows a reasonable first instance.

TLDR: this jurist thinks this article to be full of crap...

I was just discussing sex crime laws with my boyfriend today. We both agree that they're getting ridiculous but that no one wants to be the politician who suggests that we go easier on sex offenders.
