In reply to Ron M.

“Most of us”? It is unfair to all of us or none of us.

Are you saying that someone at work threatened you? If that is the case, I’d certainly get proof. Video/audio is best, of course. Then alert your employer. All reputable employers want nothing to do with any person who threatens one of their employees. If you have proof and your employer does nothing about it, I fully expect you could easily sue them. Certainly if anything happened. If your employer won’t act, get proof, and insist that law enforcement act on the threat. Sue them if you have to.

Other than that, just remember that only scumbags use the Registries. Their opinions are worth as much as they are. I wouldn’t even bother thinking about it for 2 seconds. It is very freeing once you realize that you shouldn’t care at all what insignificant “people” think.

This kind of action is so unfair to most of us that are on the registry. I myself was discovered by a fellow employee and the continued to tell the whole workplace. This is the same as in a residential area. My offense had nothing to do with any contact, no minors involved etc. It was for indecent exposure, but yet I was looked at and threatened with bodily harm because they had kids and did not want the likes of me around. This is because the general public has no idea of the levels of such offenses and the labeling or why they are put on the registry. The general public we have done something with children or caused harm to someone.
Should be no reason why someone should be turned away. You never hear anything like this from someone that has committed Murder, Homicide etc.

In reply to Will Bassler.

The key issue from my point of view, is what to do with those people that go out of their way to make contact with, indirectly or physically, anyone on this 2Facebook page. Being it’s against the law for those who gain access to personal information about Registered Citizens, to harass, harm, or intimidate anyone on the list…Because, other than the dozens of sites that already post personal information on Registered Citizens, this just inflames the issues, not protect children. Frankly, it’s someone’s harebrained idea to get his or her 15 minutes of fame, nothing more. It will soon become background noise to the millions of drama buddies out there looking for something to gossip about….

Didn’t notice the disclaimer saying using the registry to harass and threaten those on it would be prosecuted. Almost makes me wish I lived there just so I could sue the sheriff for playing a role in harassment.

While they’re at it, and since LE and the courts like to play “mind reader”, let’s see them work their psychic powers by posting faces of those with no criminal record who WILL commit a sex crime eventually.

Note that the United States courts have defined shaming as a form of punishment. Shaming is a form of punishment as defined by the Court cases of People v. Meyer People v. Lowe, 606 N.E.2d. People v. Molz, 113 N.E.2d, People v. Johnson 528 N.E.2d, State v. Burdin 924 S.W.2d ,People v. Letterlough 655 N.E.2d, Lindsay v. State 606 So. 2D,

In reply to Justice Seeker. Yeah, really, and then see how fast they cry out and do their best to force us to take it down, but, it is 'Public Information', so it can't be illegal.

In reply to Justice Seeker. That is an excellent idea. We could start with Ron and Lauren Book. Our politicians that hold office and end up being crooks. I could name a lot of folks that could be posted on our "NON Punitive" site. Believe me there are enough crooks, murders, robbers etc. that are more dangerous to society, then someone that relieved their self on a public lawn or a young couple that had sex and the girls parents decided to hang the young man because their daughter wouldn't do such a thing. I am in no way minimizing rape of child molestation, but there are to many on the registry that don't need their life ruined ,which the so called Non punitive registry does.

In reply to Facts should matter.

Facts certainly should matter…

I was in a dialogue with someone who worked in law enforcement recently. This individual was incapable of comprehending the fact that 95% of all new sex offenses were from those NOT on any kind of list. They were insistent that any future offenses were negated by keeping tabs on those on the registry. This individual lumped everyone under the same blanket.

I’m still not sure if it was a political angle, a job angle or willful stupidity that fueled their thinking.

If this is for advisory purposes, then the sheriff’s mission statement of “promoting public safety” is inauthentic and fraudulent. He’s basically taking credit for something he’s not responsible for preventing. By using FB to post information of those forced to register, he’s attempting to regain confidence in the community from all the BLM protesting fallout.

The predictably ignorant “pUt a SigN in ThErE YaRdZ” is indicative of all the collective irrationality and mob mentality.

These swamp donkey soccer moms want to be “informed,” yet they fail to grasp the concept between “there” and “their.”

Shamelessness appears to be the sheriff’s superpower along with being a fear parasite exploiting weaponized hate.
