CA: In Person Case Update
We just received an alert that the case filed by the Alliance for Constitutional Sex Offense Laws (ACSOL) to challenge IN PERSON registration laws in California has been denied. That notwithstanding, the reason for the denial appears to be because the Governor issued an executive order there, that avoided the in-person contact. The case notes state, “The petition for writ of mandate/prohibition is denied in light of the Governor’s Executive Order N-63-20 (effective May 7, 2020), as well as Information Bulletin 20-07-CJIS issued by the California Department of Justice Information Services Division on May 12, 2020 [“In accordance with Executive Order N-63-20, for the next 60 days, fingerprints, signatures, initials, or photographs of a registrant are no longer required in order to process CJIS 8047 and CJIS 8102S forms.”].”
While it was an initial disappointment to see the word “denied” we don’t know whether the pressure from a lawsuit is what prompted the governor to take action to alleviate some of the risks inherent from IN PERSON registration. We look forward to ACSOL’s Janice Bellucci’s take on the outcome and know that movement in the right direction, no matter how that movement occurs, is always a good thing!

DeSanctimonious needs to get off his *** and do the same!
But this is the same governor who is proposing a maximum of 18 months probation for anyone found guilty of committing a sex crime. He is a lot better than the governor we have in Florida.
SarahF, I had to read this two, three times. Is this true??
I know you have shared a lot of the latest info about CA and maybe I missed this part.
I mean, if this is what he proposes, then it shouldn’t be hard to get him on board with sensible registry reforms, no?
Correct. He knows that states are hurting economically, even though most states do not want to talk about it. Newson says that criminal justice reform is the way to help states cut down costs.

The Gainesville Sun had a very negative article on DeSantis today — any time he does not want data in the media because it does not support his agenda, he is squelching it. And I am a strong conservative Republican saying this.

I’m not surprised DeSantis buries data he doesn’t like. He reminds me of a bully when things paint him in a negative way. For a guy that served in the military he doesn’t understand freedom and Liberty. He runs Florida like a dictator. Hopefully he’ll serve one term and lose in a landslide as being Rick Scott on drugs.
