Actually not a bad idea seeing as how the registry is such a massive waste of law enforcement resources and billions of dollars.

Posting on x to Trump and Doge, writing letters to anyone that I think could possibly affect some change. I will keep on as I can now speak out. I will see you all in DC!

I do think it might be possible to get a case before the court regarding Ex Post Facto, proving the exceesive extent of rule making at this point has indeed made the registry punishment, thereby providing relief to many currently on the registry.

The next step is a USSC ruiling that time on the registry for first time, non-predator registrants is excessive punishment and all States must provide for automatic removal 5 years after time served.

FInally, I would love to see work done on turning the registry into a Law Enforcement Eyes Only tool, at least for first timer non-predators.

Whether the SCOTUS reverses itself or not (and they have occasionally had bursts of common sense, for example on the right to confront witnesses) the agitation of the Court is a good thing in itself…it gets the issue before the public and maybe reaches someone who needs to know that there are still some sane people in the world who will stand up for them.

Just like When God sent His people to the promise land, I await the day Florida Action Committee comes on here and directs us all to go visit the Sheriff’s office, ONE LAST TIME, to un-register.

When that call out comes, I hope I am still alive to experience it. I have seen many people on the registry die and some of them are still on the registry years after they have passed away. If not for some really hateful people keeping us in bondage, we could be contributing to society in a meaningful way.

I am going to confess about my own ordeal. I did not spend one week in jail, maybe two days at the most. I was induced to plead guilty and that was it. I didn’t really want to plead guilty because the arresting officer was just as guilty. Yes I asked the detective if he was a Christian. So whats a Christian doing in these enticements.
All the lie’s, the fake drama, and all the probing geared to make the victim all the more guilty.

Can we say who was coveting who. Ex: would authorities covet you into robbing a bank or to deliver drugs to a motel or ask you to come down and talk dirty to them if that’s the case. its basically the same principal authorities use by this slavery.

Thomas has convinced me that Scotus is for sale. I have zero faith in that court’s commitment to the constitution. And with the current administration I don’t see any help or relief coming by way of Scotus. Why would they when they can ignore us indefinitely.
I hope I’m wrong. But after 25 years of being treated worse every legislative session. Its hard to be positive anymore.

Certainfolks have this dream of getting Smith v Doe back before SCOTUS. It won’t happen under Roberts. Even if it did, the conservatives voted in favor of the state. This court is now MORE conservative than the Rehnquist SCOTUS. Do you folks honestly believes Roberts would change his mind? Or Thomas?

We like to imagine SCOTUS as being impartial. They are not. Political ideology plays a key role in decision making. The SCOTUS of today is NOT the SCOTUS of the liberal Warren SCOTUS that gave us civil rights era protections. Thi SCOTUS has eroded those protections.

For example, it is not enough to be silent. You have to verbally asset the right to remain silent. The little things make big differences.

Pleading to our executioner isn’t changing anything. We need to start discussing how to do get what we can get w/o relying on SCOTUS to bail us out.

Many of us were retroactively applied to the registry with no recourse, well after we had been sentenced or took a plea deal. The courts are supposed to be just and fair but often there seems to be biased toward a group of people who are forced to register.

It also seems that almost every new session, comes with new and stricter laws, rules and regulation regarding those with a sex offense. And sentencing seems to also be sporadic, with one person who physically offended against another person getting 10 years, then someone who just looked at porn on their computer, never meeting in person, getting 20 or more years.

If things keep going the way they are, so many people will be on the registry that something has to give. A path forward isn’t always a path at all if it is not automatic as many do not have the funds to hire a lawyer, and even if you do, there are no guarantees a judge will grant the request.
