You don’t think authorities responded to the news report and evicted them?

Your’e saying they weren’t even there in the first place?

More hysteria created by these registries.

IF it’s actually your property that those registrants are camping on (which I doubt) , then sue the probation office. They don’t have the authority to use your property for any reason, period. If you don’t want them meeting their POs in your store, kick them out. You can do that. If you don’t want to receive their mail, write “RTS” on it and drop it back in the mailbox. It might take a while for it to stop, but you can do that too.

But if their campsite is outside of your actual property lines, too damn bad. Thank your fearless legislators for creating the circumstance where those men have no other options.

And for how long have those registrants been there near that bus stop? Guessing you watch it every morning – ever see anything remiss? Keep watching it, if it bothers you so much. Or better yet, ask whatever school district to move it somewhere else.

So where is the support system for the homeless? There is only one group at fault here and that is probation releasing these people with no place to live.

As a convicted sex offender myself, I’ve seen firsthand how difficult life can be for people under strict supervision. One man I became friends with had a lease waiting for him in Orange County, where his girlfriend lived, but his request to transfer there was denied.

Before that, he had visited his mother for four days. When he was later pulled over, he was honest about where he had been. However, because the visit had not been reported correctly, he was charged with a felony violation. As a result, he was placed on Community Control and ordered to wear a GPS ankle monitor for two years.

Because he could not transfer to Orange County, he ended up living in a tent with his dog while serving his sentence. At the time I knew him, he still had a year and a half left on the monitor. Every day, he had to travel while making sure he complied with every condition of supervision, including keeping the GPS device charged. If the battery died, it could be treated as a violation and potentially lead to even more jail time.

Watching someone try to navigate life under those conditions was eye-opening. It showed how easily a mistake in reporting or compliance can lead to consequences that affect housing, family relationships, employment, and nearly every aspect of daily life.
