LA: Man acquitted of scratching off “Sex Offender” on driver’s license

In Louisiana, people required to register as sexual offenders are required to have “Sex Offender” branded on their license. A man who was required to register because of an offense 22 years ago, scratched the words off his license.

He was charged with violating the law and his attorney arguing in his defense challenged the constitutionality of the law on First Amendment grounds.

The District Attorney suggested that since the law was declared unconstitutional, the issue will likely be taken up by the State’s Supreme Court.

    I don’t see any evidence that he scratched it off his license. His kids could have done it without his knowledge.

    Kids do the damnest things.

      If only there was a way for us to scratch ourselves off of the registry, I would be up for it.
