CA: Disappointing loss in ACSOL case to block in person registration
Yesterday, a judge denied the temporary restraining order sought by the Alliance for Constitutional Sex Offense Laws to prevent Los Angeles County from requiring in-person visits to sheriff’s department stations during a pandemic.
More information on the hearing can be found on the Alliance for Constitutional Sex Offense Laws website.
The disappointing result of the hearing is just more proof that registration laws are punitive. A law that requires a person to put their health and safety in jeopardy to comply, cannot be said to be not punishment.
We know, however, this is not the end of the road with this battle.

That JOKE OF AN IMPARTIAL JUDGE should have just “womaned up” and said, “I hope every last one of you sicken and die along with your family. You’re certainly trash and anybody who would love you or care one bit about you must be the same kind of worthless trash!”
Remember to cough a lot when you go in to do your update. 😉
This strikes a chord with me, not because I had to register in person but because the Sheriff’s Department brought the danger of the virus into my HOME. My most recent bi-annual residence verification visit was just the other day. The deputy knocked on our door about 8:00 in the morning and proceeded to go through the process, handling my drivers license in the process of verifying it, without wearing ANY gloves or mask.
I am in the highest risk category because of my existing health issues and this deputy put my entire family at risk. Thank you Brevard County Sheriff’s Department.
Report it to Internal Affairs
If you get sick with Covid-19, take your driver’s license with you to the hospital and have it checked for the virus. If it is positive, sue the crap out of your county for intentionally exposing you to this hazard. Not wearing protective gear in the face of very plain CDC guidelines cannot be defended as acting in good faith.
This is not surprising. Like the “ shot heard around the world” When a Supreme Court Judge made the statement that sex offenders have an alarmingly high recidivism rate, It was as if that statement came from God. Though we all know it was false and he I’m sure by now knows it , Till they recant the statement ,nobody will believe it otherwise. The Erroneous idea will continue to be acted upon by other ignorant judges.
You are correct and it would be wonderful if a select few would catch COVID-19.
Might as well have something positive come out of this pandemic!
It is not wonderful for ANYBODY to catch COVID-19, including those with whom we disagree.
Perhaps as startling as Dred Scott!
ACSOL denial to stop in-person registration in CA is not punitive at all. It is a form of hate, a strategy to enable opportunities for registrants to contract and die from COVID-19. Sad we lost our sentiment to preserve human life.
