The whole principal of the sex registry is to prevent adults from talking to kids. That’s the whole principal So is everyone wrestling with oneself. Sure we were all defrauded by this crafty ordeal. Was it just. Biblically speaking it was unjust as in bowing down to another. Even the plea deals are a bit of a mousetrap as Cherokee says.

I hope we are all still endowed with certain inalienable rights. This sex registry doesn’t vanish that authority. One can either make a choice or a decision. In either event the registry is an entrapment game on many levels for many.

I must agree with your pragmatic assessment. Civil rights laws prohibit employment discrimination for certain “protected classes” of persons. This includes discrimination based on sexual orientation or religion. In my opinion, our anti-registry cause would actually be harmed by trying to shoehorn registrants into either class.

There is not a snowball’s chance in hell that any politician would commit political suicide by proposing to include registrants in either protected class. An attraction to minors might very well be an innate sexual orientation. I don’t know. But trying to sell that to the public is a fools errand and would only serve to harden public opinion against registrants. Attempting to sell some church of pederasty would likewise go down in flames.

I truly appreciate Alan thinking outside the box to explore new approaches. We need more of that creative thinking. However, chasing untenable strategies could be counterproductive and will certainly siphon off our limited resources. Thanks, and keep up the good work Allan.

Of those, 304 were approved – a success rate of 77% and a figure which has remained largely consistent over the past five years.

It is a forced interrogation where you do NOT have the right to remain silent.
If you remain silent, then they will claim that they could not complete your registration. And on the first day of the following month they will charge you with a felony for failure to register.
Now somebody tells me that the laws and constitutions of our United States have NOT been twisted!!!

So is government doing evil with some garden of Eden seduction tactic? Using the coy of protecting a teen in this unethical way. Sure as the nose on your face. Justice goes hand in hand with righteousness or doing what is right. Are authorities doing what is right in this two wrongs don’t make a right issue.

Are we all to obey when they ask for dirty pictures or other pictures which was the intent all along,, or to talk dirty to them. I say it again no authority should ask you to talk dirty to them no matter what. When its all said and done the authorities have the more guilt conscious and that’s taking advantage of others in an unjust way. Standing up for truth and justice is a better way for all.

The registry, as it becomes more and more punitive, is set up and formed in such a way that we are navigating a system of mouse traps. We are not after the cheese, we just want to get away from the traps. But those traps, have traps and only a matter of time before one or all of us are entangled in the spider’s web.
Most justice systems have a path towards redemption. For us, it seems they even have traps and stipulations for us to not reach those goals at any cost.
One example, many of us have been contacted by fake deputies saying we did not register. When they called me, there is no one who knows the information they knew other than the sheriff’s office. They were either hacked, a former employee gained access or a current employee, most likely a non sworn civilian employee.

Yeah, I don’t know. I’m no legal scholar. But think about it this way – what if you are living somewhere that you know is an illegal felony? Government is then forcing you to admit to them that you have committed a felony. So if you are filling out their form and it asks you where you live are you going to admit to the felony or write “unknown” or what?

@Saddles

Well it is at least good news that you are safe and not going to harm yourself. I will sleep better now for sure. I was lifting you up in prayer, especially when I did not get a reply right away.
Will keep you in my prayers and thoughts.

Reporting one’s address is not the same as self-incrimination. Cases on the constitutionality of the registry are much more recent than those cited here.
