NARSOL just published an article in which it searched news sources and the internet for mentions of children being harmed, molested or abducted by registrants on Halloween 2022. They found not one reference. This was true regardless of whether officials took any preemptive actions. in my state LE is prohibited from adding requirements not specified in state statute, e.g. residence checks. We had the same number of harmed children as did Florida. That is precisely zero.

Here’s more proof LE has it wrong with respect to Halloween dangers. Sad that it’s costing lives….

Jack, our society is so screwed up that even much of law enforcement believes lies and myths. How can justice be found in such an atmosphere?
No sex crime was identified but at least the LEO’s felt they were justifying their salaries.
As someone in Hillsborough and had these fishermen come to my house let me tell how it went there were 3 deputy’s 2 probation officers. They were at my house for over an hour went thru my phone not once but twice found nothing checked my paperwork over and over looking at a car that IS on my paperwork , the car I don’t own is not tagged and is not running They were fishing for a reason to violate me . just before they left they told me the halloween rules , I have been on probation for 6 years I know the rules. Of course all the neighbors want to ask why all the sheriffs vehicles were at the house they spent most of the time they were here walking around the property looking around. Its funny Hillsborough has 1200 registered citizens and the sheriff has said ALL were going to be contacted BEFORE Halloween to check compliance , but in the end said only 123 were checked ? what happened ? Were they all checked and in compliance ? Or did they not check the other 1100 ? I mean 40 out of 123 sounds like they really did something where as 40 out of 1200 makes it sound like a waste of time and money Which is it ?…I’ll let y’all decide.
So this county had a 30% non-compliance rate? Definitely sounds like over policing to me. Statistics from other jurisdictions would belie these numbers as abnormally high.
