CO: Controversial Bill Surrounding Sex Offenders To Get First Committee Hearing

The council says the bill would allow the parole board to release people convicted of violent sex crimes as long as they’re signed up for community-based treatment and are considered a manageable risk.

It would also prevent treatment providers from limiting an offenders contact with children without a court order and would create a new risk-based sex offender registry. A nine-person board would decide who should be on the registry. Police and prosecutors would no longer get a vote.

    Was listening to this video and this bill about this compromise. Even as some say on here anything to help rid this registry, or the pitfalls is good but does each state compromise on judgment or make vain judgements. It all goes back on registry of guilt.

    Even when people take a plea deal such as I did that was a compromise and yes I wanted to go to court and the lawyer I had knew it and so did the arresting officer. The officer calls me in that night before the trial and makes me a plea deal says everything will be ok if I plead guilty… gives me a bit of a wink and says trust me. While some may say this bill is good the registry is a bit of a dicey way to seek justice.

    As he was leading me to the courtroom that day. I ask him if he was a christian and yes a christian follows christian principals… one could say, is this registry shakey ground for the many involved or caught up or do we as many of you all say need a registry of this type of deception, or who is leading who.

    After the whole ordeal was over we had a talk and yes he admited in certain words that this is a game but its a tragic game to many. Even during the web text they wanted me to come down to just talk dirty to them. I have to admit I did talk a bit dirty. Second night was different but the same voice, and they even blocked me out of the chatter I was texting too.

    Sure the authorities ask me for pictures and other items to make a case. Even going down their a lady calls me on the cell phone and ask why are you taking so long in anticipation and right their is were I asked to back out.

    I accidently bumped into that lady and she said if it was brought to court she would deny about it or not tell the truth about it. And yes that encounter happened that second night and I was even on an adult website during the whole ordeal. So compromising is no good in any court of justice. Christian understanding can go a long ways and in many ways the registry should be banned by computer methods.

    Risk-based tiering has made a HUGE difference in states like OR, MA, and others. Unfortunately even those states that do tiering are not risk-based, in most cases.
