Nice of that woman to speak against the bill, however the reaction from the senator’s is as expected. It simply falls on deaf ears. It shows their character, that they truly don’t care, plain and simple.

In reply to Mr. D.A. DORSETT. D.A. I know you have been fed this ideology like a lot of the population has. Pedophilia is a diagnosed medical condition and the VAST majority of people on the registry are not pedophiles. That’s what the politicians who pass these Draconian laws Would want you to believe. Fact is the registry only serves to punish people into homelessness and worse. There isn’t a single documented case that I’m aware of where any crime was prevented by the registry. Almost of these laws are named after children who’s tragedies wouldn’t have been prevented by the registry. It’s lazy, fear mongering politics and a massive waste of resources.

In reply to Mr. D.A. DORSETT. I suppose since I was a juvenile who's charges are over 30 years old I'm also a pedophile...Right? Seems to me I was attracted to the same age group, yet people still wann lump me into the same group. And I'm still being punished. So I highly disagree.

In reply to Mr. D.A. DORSETT. Another thought, how or why do you need to see my drivers license? What level of protection are you expecting by me having a branded ID?

In reply to Mr. D.A. DORSETT. Oh please. Not everyone convicted of a sex crime is a freaking pedophile. That's a horrible myth. Firstly, pedophilia is a diagnosable disease. Too many people lump all sex crimes into one size fits all. There are those of us who were arrested in online dating sex stings, cp, inappropriate touching and actual sexual assault. I don't condone criminal actions and deeply regret the mistake that I made ten years ago. I was caught in a craigslist sting. Secondly, your comment about blacks seems to suggest that they should just take police and societal prejudice. That is unacceptable. As is the continued harassment of people on the registry who have done their time. Lastly, what is the source of your right to know? Why doesn't it apply to drug dealers or dui convictions?

Thank you for the lady speaking up at the 42 minute mark. Looks like a lawsuit is brewing.

In reply to Mr. D.A. DORSETT. This is mistaken. The registry does not identify pedophilic disorder or DNA, and it almost never identifies who’s at risk of perpetrating sexual abuse.

This is a great Idea and will allow people to know who’s who. I see it no differently than a Black people who gets mistreated just because of the color of their skin, which they can’t change, and neither can you change the DNA CODING of a Pedophile. They are who they are, and we have the right to know who they are in our communities Nationwide. Now having said that NO one has the right to attack them just for going about their daily business.
