Legislatures are encouraged to make sure the line is as broad as possible, because there's frequently stories of actual rapists and child abusers pleading out of sex offender registration. When the evidence is muddy and the prosecution doesn't want to chance it at trial, but has enough to nail them for something, frequently sex offender registration is a big bargaining chip.

Thus in many states, public urination is a sex offense.

It's often not the judge's discretion, is the thing. Any person duly convicted of crimes under xyz statutes (i.e.: public indecency/public urination) shall be listed, so the court/prosecutors can massage it to disorderly conduct for a cooperative defendant or whatever.
