Is it a public registry where all the neighbors can know a frequently drunk driver lives among them.

The rodent also has a policy where RCs are not allowed on their property. When the friends I’ve made since my release want to go hang out at “the springs,” I have to make excuses why I can’t go, since they don’t know my situation, and I would prefer to keep it that way since I want to keep them as friends.

Capt,

Actually, there are DUI registries in Amerika. I know there’s one in Ohio but takes a lot to be a member. https://services.dps.ohio.gov/OMVI/SearchAndList.aspx

I agree, I haven’t worked since Moses parted the Red Sea. I have been let go of many jobs because someone found out where I was working and placed flyers on the business. Even when I worked for a factory where the public was not welcome, they mailed flyers to the CEO and made demands to “Fire me or face the consequences”.

And yes, I know who it was, someone who had NOTHING to do with my case

But the registry “Butters someone’s bread” and “lines someone’s pockets” so that is ALL that matters to the powers the be.

Read into it what you want, but until we have someone powerful on our side IE: a judge, we have a long road to Nashville.

Exactly. What about a registered person who is 85 years old, in poor health, and confined to a wheelchair or bed ridden a danger to society?
Creating laws does not prevent crimes from occurring. We have laws against murder, arson, robbery, etc., yet people continue to commit those crimes so having those laws in place prevents nothing.
I will never commit another sex crime not because I am on the registry, but because fortunately I have a very good life and CHOOSE to stay in the clear, but if I ever did want to reoffend, the registry would never stop me. Society is safe from me because of my own choices, not because of having my name on a list.
A murderer can get out of prison, turn his life around and go on to be a mentor to troubled youths to deter them from crime and society will praise him, but a registrant gets out of prison and decides to live a law abiding life by getting a decent job (if he is lucky) and being a good parent but society will treat him like scum.
I’m not a religious person, but I recall when someone asked Jesus what the greatest sin was. He answered back saying there is no sin greater than any other, because if you break just one commandment in the slightest, you’ve broken them all. I am not better than anyone else, but how is having a consensual relationship with someone under the age of consent a more heinous crime than someone who murdered someone?

While this forum may indeed be preaching to the choir, Prof. Carpenter provides information that will prove useful when preaching to those who are not even in the congregation, much less the choir. The issues presented are heavily footnoted, which can save tremendous time for any who will be developing future arguments.

It’s also funny how society doesn’t make murderers prove they’re no longer a murderer.
