In the most professional manner, state that you oppose the Red Lettering, question why this is needed (based on what evidence or simply a personal assumption of risk?), give your name and phone number. Let them know if you are a constituent.

Every call documented is considered by the representative as the voice of 100 voters.

If your representative sits on this committee, this would be a particularly good time to reach out to them. Let them know there is opposition, give them some skepticism, and with luck this bill won’t make it OUT of this committee!

Thank You,
Jacob

I don’t have high hope for them even reading it when I immediately received two automated responses saying due to the high volume of emails we will be in touch soon. Right.

Facts

Tearfuleagle
The problem with your evaluation is , you are trying to be logical and base your thoughts on facts. Laws are not made based on either. They are made based on emotion and public image, made for the benefit of the one pushing it.

A driver hit my car once because he wasn’t paying attention to me backing into my driveway. The police arrived to take a report and I gave him my license while I looked for my proof of insurance. He was in his car running me in the system when I returned with my insurance card and I saw my picture on his computer with red letters above it saying “Registered sex offender”, so yes, the police do see it. By the way, the deputy was cool about it and never brought it up. He was just there to make a report and that’s what he did.

So question? If I get pulled over for a headlight out and I hand the sheriff my license and registration and he goes back to his computer and punches in my name etc. Does it show that I have a sex offense conviction? If it does why does my license need a mark. The bank teller has no need to know of my offense 30 years ago. If I was a convicted bank robber would that be in my license,no. But one could argue that the banker teller should know. My point being law enforcement already knows when they run your plate and or after putting in your DL

You’re right, Edication, but that’s not what the Alabama court said— the one we cite in our talking points. That decision does not support our position the way we assume it does.
