Common Sense Comes to Utah
Recently we reported that New Hampshire is starting to consider getting some of it’s less dangerous offenders off the registry. Now it seems Utah is following suit. Could this be a trend consisting of a wave of common sense sweeping across the states?
Here’s what’s going on in Utah:

I am proud to be a Utahn right now! I think the registry has become too diluted with thousands and thousands of names and faces that pose no threat at all. How are we supposed to know who is dangerous and who was just made an example of by the courts? Personally, I think the registry is ineffective in many different ways and needs to be abolished altogether, but I will start by being happy with baby steps.
Dana – Utah must be a much more civilized, rational and intelligent state than Florida. They are still trying to ratchet up the punishment here.
I hope so but unfortunately in FL everyone is treated the same – lifetime. Utah has already had a system that most offenders could be removed from the registry after a certain amount of years.
Oh man, I hope this spreads like a wild fire indeed. Let common sense prevail all over.
