When you have people who really aren’t Sex Offenders They have never laid a hand on a child!!! Looked at Porn,Yet they are labeled as SOs. WHY? Does any one have any rights left? I have someone now who is serving 5yrs by a “BIAS” judge,and he has NEVER touched a child…! Looked at porn pics,3-4. This is one law that has been a usable law for any type of a sex crime. VERY wrong! We the people have no way to fight this,because we do not have any money for those high priced lawyers! May God have mercy on we the people who are at their Mercy!!!

A similar bill should be passed in California as well. We have similar conflicts within our SOMB.
I believe that no person should have any power in the enactment of a law from which he/she gains financially if passed. Of course if this were a law throughout all states and the federal government we either wouldn’t have any new laws and/or all our legislators would have to resign. : ) Not a bad concept!

How about adding that a member of government who makes policies that effect citizens can not have any type of relationship either professional or familial with a registered lobbyist. Sit on a board of a company any registered lobbyists represents or own stock in a company a registered lobbyists represents. That would be one way of returning government back to the people but as it stands now there is to much money to be made especially if you own GEO stocks

This is just common sense. It’s a conflict of interest to serve in a capacity where you would have influence over the funds contributed by a state or federal scheme. At worst it’s just plain unethical.

Good idea. Back in 1996 when I was first accused of the misdemeanor offence I volunteered to take a polygraph test to help establish my innocence but the judge said he would not allow it because they were ineffective and inaccurate.

Once again, common sense governance by someone other than Flori-duh.

Yes, I agree it should be illegal for ANYONE to have a government contract to any services for it concerning anything to do with corrections…..Here’s a novel idea. How about when people serve their prison sentences and COMPLETE THEM… then LEAVE THEM THE HELL ALONE! Let them loose to go prove themselves and live their lives and get integrated back into society again without any interference from government. Probation should be outlawed in this country. When I got in trouble as a kid, my parents spanked me as punishment and that was the end of it. They didn’t keep spanking me and make me report to them once a month, or go take a polygraph once a year to prove that I wasn’t lying to them or make me pay a “supervision fee” to them for watching me every day. I mean, seriously.
