Nailed it. I would add that this is deliberate though.

The registry is worse than useless. It’s dangerous to children. While everyone is sweating people on the registry they aren’t looking where the real danger is.

Same old tactic of Hitler in Nazi Germany. Register people in the name of “safety”, make them not human, then use them as Guinea pigs for horrific experiments and then dump them in mass graves.

They need to update this listing to include abuse of a registered citizen as a hate crime. When a citizen is forced into a subclass and that subclass is demonized and given less rights they are by default a target of bullying and hate attacks from vagilities and other mentally unstable individuals.

Since this is an assigned status is even now being listed on US passports then it is clearly an official designation and so-called “Registered Sex Offenders” aka RSO should be included in protected groups.

If a citizen is harassed, abused, or physically attacked even KILLED by someone who received this information from the United States government (online SO registries) then the government has assisted In the commission of a hate crime against the registered citizen!

PERIOD

The Florida Uniform Crime Reporting Program defines Hate Crime as a committed or attempted criminal act by any person or group of persons against a person or the property of another person or group, which in any way constitutes an expression of hatred toward the victim because of his/her personal characteristics. Personal characteristics include:

•race/color
•gender/gender identity
•religion
•ethnicity/ancestry/national origin
•sexual orientation
•advanced age
•mental/physical disability
•homeless status

due to the fact this man was homeless it will be interesting to see if this is labeled as a Hate Crime.

This is why I moved from a small city where the cops were bored and checked on me every time they felt like it, in addition to the Sheriffs deputies when it was their time. I moved away from that nonsense to one of the largest counties in the area where I get checked on once a year for 5 minutes to verify I am me and my house is where I am. Green eggs and ham.
* And yes I sold my house to get the heck out of where I was living. They would be waiting for me in the morning sitting in my driveway on the way to work, didn’t matter if I was going to be late to work, so I had to learn to leave for work 20 extra minutes in case I was detained in my own driveway for no reason for EXTRA checks by city police. I guess they won, they wanted me out of “Their” city.

After 26 years in Law Enforcement and now working to get the laws on Sex Offenders changed let me advise you of the following: Law Enforcement does not need the Sex Offender Registry they already have all the information they need from other sources, so the registry does nothing for L.E. It does however cost them money and time keeping it uptodate and doing home checks. This time and money could be better spent on many other things. But those still on the job will not admit it. The SOR is a big waist of time. If we have to have one it should only be those people who are at high risk to reoffend, using a risk assement.

Where my husband is incarcerated, one of the officers told me that there is a whole dorm with nothing but incarcerated judges, law enforcement officials, and former prison guards.

Many officers assume fellow officers and former officers to be law-abiding. But registry status would suggest otherwise. Is this hard to understand?

To be a hate crime it has to be a protected class such as race, religion, LGBQ etc. There will be charges for murder but there is no statue stating killing someone on the registry is a hate crime. It happens all the time and no extra charges are applied.
