Bermuda: Sex offender bill under consideration

Bermuda, the British island territory located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North America is considering a bill to create a sex offender registry.

The bill would also required people convicted of sex offenses to complete treatment while in prison or not be considered for parole or “good time” early release.

Unlike the United States’ sex offender registry, Bermuda is taking the more rational approach of all other countries with registries and not making their site open to the public or permitting information to be made available through freedom of information laws. It will only be known to law enforcement.

Additionally, unlike Florida and a handful of other draconian states, duration of registration will not be lifetime, but people will be eligible for removal after ten years.

    That’s because foreigners have something called “Common sense”, the same common sense that has come to the US to die.

    Foreign countries laugh at half of the stupidity this country does (this is well known). It’s a damn joke, full of morons with usually good intentions.

    Florida’s sex offender registry is like running a marathon with no finish line. After a while the runner just gives up!
