Actually the arrest keeps you from getting off the registry

I even searched small rural Florida counties and there were lists and list of deceased registered people. If I had the guts to do it, I would go to the news with that story. I am sure the registry is being paid for each one of those deceased.

And we don’t even accumulate badges or points towards getting off the registry. On a serious note, unless they have a life sentence, most felons eventually get off paperwork and can move on with their lives with just a record in their past.
We on the other hand are for life on the registry which in some ways is worse than prison because we are not safe in our own homes.

Imagine this scenario. A person forced to register is admitted to a hospital. The person has no family and is so bad off that he either cannot notify the registry office or have anyone or anyway to do so.
Jump forward, he/she has been in the hospital so long that their time to register has lapsed and authorities track him/her down and arrest him/her right in the hospital?
This could end up being reality instead of just a scenario. AND the judge’s hands are tied most of the time due to there being little to no exceptions. And even if dropped, even dropped charges count for being removed from the registry as a disqualification.
Just makes me sick.

Getting 5 years for a paperwork error is excessive and unnecessary punishment. Was this recent? Did you hire a lawyer?

Chop off someone’s hand for stealing a piece of candy.

Gouge out someone’s eye for looking at someone the wrong way.

Burn someone at the stake for possibly being a witch?

A guy is late one day registering, and he gets 5 years.

What has happened to our justice system? Or unjust system.

These are all things that have happened in history.

@James
I have seen someone accused of murder get probation but someone like you had a paperwork brain fart or stressful forgetfulness and get 5 years. Just shows how messed up the system is.
I see car jackings, robberies and other crimes on the news all the time and often the charges are dropped because the victims are afraid to testify. But those with a sexual offense can go to prison for a paperwork error. Just freaking wow! Tell me the system isn’t rigged.

Why do lawyers not challenges this if the person is charged for not remembering beyond their capacity? You know this is why we don’t have traveling circuses anymore where the lion tamer would crack his whip and expect results from an animal held in captivity against it’s will. Why? Because of the animal rights activists, animals have more rights than WE DO.

This is a violation of ethics, morality and human rights. This is why I keep saying that to registry is too MILITANT AND PERFORMATIVE. It’s malice with vitriolic contempt. In spite of their attempt to have strive for an “accurate” registry, they will never have a robust or dynamic registry that protects any child on American soil. Why? Because the messaging of the registry is an inauthentic mess that is an abuse of power and technology. The Internet was never meant to be used in this fashion.

“America pushes a mythology about fairness. Justice. The rule of law. But that is the myth. That is smoke and mirrors. At its core, those are not the values that America lives.

The values that America lives are power, money, and politics. Are there good judges who are truly fair, impartial, without bias? Yes, there are.

Are most judges fair, impartial, and without bias? No. Not in my opinion.

In my opinion, most judges in America are political actors. That’s how they got appointed or elected. And when you get to the Supreme Court, those are perhaps the most nakedly political actors in America’s judiciary.”
