Truth

What sucks so badly is, I asked for a lawyer not once, not twice, but three times. I was told if I asked for a lawyer, I would be all over the news. So I spilled my guts and even confessed to killing Jimmy Hoffa (Being dramatic).
Anyway, I was ok with doing time as I did do SOME things but not all they charged me with.
I did my time, got out on good behavior. The registry hit just before I was to be released and I was retroactively put on it. Been on it since 1997. My Charge from 1991. Anyone arrested now can do a plea and say “I ain’t going on no damn registry” and the prosecutor will say “You don’t have a choice but if you don’t go to trial, we can work a deal.
Well I and many others never got a chance to do that, we had already plead. They told me tough crap. So I cannot go back in time and change something but they can? WOW just freaking Wow how do the judges sleep at night? (Pretty comfortably I am told)

Mine was 31 years ago. There wasn’t even a registry when I was arrested, charges nor during sentencing. Even went back on an appeal and there was no registry.

How is shunning you for a crime you committed 20 plus years ago making the neighborhood safe? How many of your judgmental neighbors are committing sex or other crimes right now. Easy to point the finger at others, when one should look in the mirror. I rather deal with Jeff Dunham’s dummy Bubba J.

As a former law enforcement officer, thank you for standing up to the bullies. There are three kinds of registered people. Thos who just do anything the cops say, those who refuse any rules on them and cuss officers out, and those who comply to a point, are pleasant but know their rights.

God only knows what could have happened with that DNA sample. They could have said they lifted it off of a pair of panties or underwear and it matched, tying you to a crime you didn’t commit just to get you back in jail. This crap has gone far enough.

Until a judge puts an end to this madness, law enforcement seems to have carte blanche to impose whatever they want on us. The Officer who comes to my place has always been cool and downlow. Last time he came by he was a jerk and was using a loud voice so everyone could here “MAKE SURE YOU ARE UP TO DATE ON YOUR REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS!”

He is due back this month and since the majority of the people on my street are out of work, everybody is home making it much harder to get it done with, without incident. Add to that the post my neighbor tells me about they are saying about me on Nextdoor, it is a wonder I have not been lynched.

Hey Cherokee,
I posted that stuff for context, not because I think anyone of us is better or worse than another, but can see why it might look like that. I could see LE harassing some registrants more than others, but what the heck do I know? 🤷

I am assuming you were not one of those selected to be removed from the registry?
