NY: Sex offender rules an inconsistent maze
A New York law that is intended to protect children from convicted sex offenders has created a maze of contradictory policies and regulations, leading to inconsistent enforcement and confusing online tracking systems.
The disparities have also resulted in sharply different residency requirements for offenders convicted of similar crimes and an increasingly perplexing system that makes it difficult for the public to confirm whether offenders in their area are in compliance

Clueless Quinlan doesn’t get it. His problem is he’s dealing with officials who already know this doesn’t work. There was an annual Parole and Families get-together where Albany soir with parolees about good changes coming for NY based on research. And will consider early releases based on the person, not the crime. The representative also said the SARA laws, though, are confusing and they really don’t know how that’ll get navigated. But they’re trying.
On that note, NY-ers with the direct experience about how these things work and don’t work, roll their eyes at people like neurotic, helicopter parent, Clueless Quinlan who frankly needs to worry more about #1 killer, heart disease, while lounging at McDs.
Quinlan needs to find a new hobby. Thank you for the inside perspective from that state. It’s not just Florida that’s messed up.

Half-baked policies
Huh, I may have complimented them.
“Research shows that even when enforced strictly, it is doubtful that the law increases public safety,” buried in the middle of the article.
If that is the case, then there is an easy fix for this entire conundrum: repeal the law.
Go back and write a law that focuses on sexual abuse prevention rather than “sex offender compliance,” whatever that means. Stop tying up our law enforcement resources on this nonsense!
I attempted to post a comment to the article, the the comment button simply took me to another page that read, “comments.” Funny.
It creeps me out that there are people like the man in the article who spends thousands of hours targeting and collecting information on registered persons so he can try to make trouble for them. He is obsessed and crazy. And they say the registry is not punitive?
If they repealed the law, men like him would have nothing to do.
He would just harass people for other things. You can bet he wouldn’t mind his own business or build a significant life.
