There has been a lot of cases similar under pleading the 5th amendment for those mandated classes dating back 30 years before the registry which SCOTUS ruled inmates could plead the 5th and return of privileges . That’s why I don’t get how If law enforcement is using the information against us we are forced to provide 2-4 times a year how this is constitutional?

A silent citizenry is an approving citizenry, at least in the eyes of politicians. We need to bombard the offices of our politicians and newspapers daily with evidence that those who support the SO registry are so far ‘off base’ that they are doing far more harm than good.

In reply to Capt Charles Munsey Jr. USN Ret.

Capt. Munsey,

Such a true statement of the state of criminal justice today, that many in LE are numb to the Constitution. Perhaps it is perceived as an obstruction in their ‘holy war’ on criminals, rather than the bedrock upon which their own cherished liberties are anchored.

Ultimately, they undermine the very foundation of law they are charged with protecting.

Point to ponder: Isn’t it odd that violations of the highest law of the land by our state and federal governments are tolerated by its citizens without any repercussions?

In reply to Ben. Reply to Ben...I've been through exactly what you said. They say you are in denial and look harder at you for refusing to come clean. But they also take no responsibility for their crimes of using false evidence to convict you in the first place. Shameful

In reply to Ben. Arkansas is typical of imprisoning innocent people accused of this crime. Someone very dear to me is serving 20 years for a crime they didn’t commit, in prison now for almost 13 years. Their SOP is for men only and the women have to take it! Our Laws must be changed! They deserve good-time credit and the over zealous prosecutors must be looked into as well!

And if you’re innocent of the crimes for which you’ve been accused, not going into details is seen as avoidance and copping out.

So many in law enforcement are totally numb as to the Constitution. If found to be violating the Constitution, they should be held accountable as would any other ‘criminal’. Maybe they would not be so quick to try to build a foundation for their job security and retirement.
