Anything that you violate that carries a criminal prosecution , jail time etc is punishment. Failure to signal gets you a ticket and you pay a fine. Failure to register can send you to prison for the rest of your life. On what planet does a judge not understand that? The same goes for expo facto, how can those of us who did our time for crimes 3 decades ago are having to register after the fact? There will come a point where 40% of the U.S population is on the SO registry if no one can ever be removed. This is another reason they do not want felons to vote and when they passed the law they excluded us, another discrimination violation that is unconstitutional but we know the judges do what they want not what is right.

I have less faith in government then you I guess. They are addressing one of the cases that the registry has opponents to remove those opponents. Get enough of the blatant problems fixed and everyone can ignore those on the registry as the non-humans that they are. If you think the registry is anything but a way for the government to maintain control on fear your not paying close enogh attention.

I don’t think that’s the purpose of removing juveniles from the registry.

I mentioned earlier this is part of the problem. They are narrowing the registry so NO ONE will stand up against it. They are taking the banner cases and changing it to take that arguement away. Leaving only the scum of the universe on the registry.

Until more good people can stand up, without fear of retribution, to these idiots, nothing will change on the scale needed to reverse this fear-mongering juggernaut. I know there is some hope, but our small victories come at a glacial pace while new and more onerous laws are being crafted and implemented every year.

I do thank God for what I have, but Amerikka’s treatment of registered citizens and their families is deplorable and would not be tolerated on other class of citizen.

Jacob, you are correct but why is or was it to make us register for life? It wasn’t so if we should then so should they it is only fair for the law to be “ retroactive “ now maybe some one higher up will say hey if the juveniles get off from registration for life then why shouldn’t we be able to do so, I mean if it’s ok for them why shouldn’t it be ok for the adult offender? I mean hell some of us the law didn’t even require us to register but then the law changed and they made it retroactive next thing you know you have to register so it doesn’t matter if you do the crime then whether your a juvenile or a adult you should have to pay the piper I’m sorry if that pisses some people off but hell if it was ok for them to put us on it then it should be ok for them to be on it also!

Ts, I am totally in agreement with you, i believe that the law is the law , but oh wait now some legislators kid or judges kid or a kid period is having to register for life , oh it’s punishment for them but not us who has been on the registry for are allotted time frame even though we were not required to register and how the law change so it’s retroactive for us but not kids sexting,or having under age sex, but oh when we did are crime it was a tremendous horrifying act on a child even though that “child” was consensual in doing so let alone “16” but it’s ok for it now? That’s some straight bull. I say this if it’s a lifetime registry for us then the kids should be lifetime also!

History has shown that the government fails to fix any problem it addresses, and even exacerbates it, more often than not. Why would anyone in their right mind trust the government with child rearing?

Amen ! Preach it brother. Funny how things in life are altered depending on the situation to fulfill agendas
