LA: SO Drivers License Bill Fails!
From a member in Louisiana:
I am a registered citizen in Louisiana. In October of 2019, a district court in Louisiana ruled that the words “Sex Offender” on RSO’s drivers licenses was unconstitutional.
As predicted, that ruling was appealed to the Louisiana Supreme court and the lower court’s ruling was upheld in October of 2020.
Then, the Louisiana AoG filed an emergency stay with the SCOTUS regarding that ruling.
SCOTUS refused the stay.
A few months ago a bill was introduced into the Louisiana legislature attempting to put each SO’s tier level on their license (House Bill 56). Basically, they were attempting to jump through a loophole in the court rulings.
Today, that bill was presented to committee where it was discussed for over 2 hours. When voted on, the bill failed to get out of the committee hearing by a vote of 7 to 6! The bill is now dead!
I am so happy that I can get a normal driver’s license now!

I like the idea of registering in multiple states.
This could be a form of peaceful protest and confuse the hell out of the proregistry people.
If I were on the registry, I would travel around the country registering and deregistering in all of the states. I would have every Walmart parking lot listed on the registry.
It is a felony to register a Wal Mart parking lot unless you’re establishing residence there.
I shouldn’t have to point that out, but there you go.

Well that is no fun. I was going to register the parking lot of the Sheriff’s office as my temporary residence. Thanks for putting a pin in my plans.
Of course, you could register in multiple states and keep everyone guessing! Where does the general public really find you if registered in six different states? Dual residency? Who has the coolest laws?
Why the hell would one purposely register in multiple states? Where you live will be on the registry.
Because it is legally required and it is not very difficult for LE to find out that you live in multiple states.
I don’t see why people think just the act of Registering multiple residences (or many “internet identifiers”!) would bother LE. Their systems are set up to handle exactly that. And do they really care about doing more paper pushing? A lot of people seem to think that bothers them but I don’t see why. It is safer and easier than real police work. And if they have too much, they just get more taxpayer $$$$$ and hire more people. Big government growing bigger. They love that.
One thing that DOES seem to really bother LE about people living in multiple states is that it makes it difficult for them to know when they can harass you. But if you never allow them to see you or communicate with you then that makes it easiest for everyone.
This is great news, but so upset to hear that other states have either the term “sex offender” or some type of code on stamped on driver’s licenses. I didn’t realize how prevalent this was.
America loves to shame people. I’m sorry to the people forced to register and forced to have their DL’s marked. This has to change!
Where there is no restitution there is no justice.
