Paul did NOT say, did he, that no one who committed a crime against an adult had any problem at any border crossing.  Not even the Registrant Travel Matrix goes that far.

It partly depends on the receiving country and what their policies are.  We know from RTAG that some countries, for example, admit hardly any former felons at all.

All we can say is that if someone was denied due to a past crime against an ADULT, then it was not the doing of International Megan’s Law but some other law or policy (or combination thereof).]]></description>

Rocky - This site is not a source for legal opinions. FAC is not a law firm, we do not have lawyers on staff and the individuals responding to your questions are providing anecdotal information based on past information and belief.

The IML, as all registration laws, are complex and not uniformly applied. While IML is a Federal Law that should apply nationwide, some states&#039; laws vary in application and some states are not AWA Compliant and if you are not required to register in their state and show up to report international travel, they might be confused or their state agency might not report it to the US Marshals in which case no green notice is sent. There are also other registration laws aside from IML which might come into play. These are all &quot;mights&quot; - if you ask whether Federal law authorizes the sending of travel notifications for persons on the registry regardless of whether their offense was against a minor:

Travel notifications are sent by the Angel Watch Center pursuant to 34 U.S.C. § 21503(f) AND the National Sex Offender Targeting Center pursuant to 34 U.S.C. § 21504(a)(1) (formerly 42 U.S.C. § 16935c(a)(1)). The Angel Watch Center is limited in its ability to make notifications of foreign travel to cases where a person is registered on the basis of an offense against a minor, the National Sex Offender Targeting Center is not.

I hope that answer satisfies you and we can move on from this topic. As complex as the laws are for attorneys and law enforcement officers to understand, they are even more confusing for the &quot;regular&quot; person.  You seem frustrated because you are not getting the specifics you are looking for, but unfortunately the only person who can do the research and draft an opinion for your situation is someone who is qualified to do the research and licensed to provide the opinion. If you are having a legal issue related to international travel for which you need actual legal guidance, we have a list of lawyers on our referral page.]]></description>

I don&#039;t think you are understanding my post. There is a contradiction between RTAG (Paul) and someone on here about whether SOs with adult cases are being denied entry into foreign countries. Whenever there is a contradiction of information, you try to collect more evidence to see what is true and what is false. I need evidence of SOs with adult cases being denied entry into a foreign country.]]></description>

Thank you Jacob!
rock wants proof in hand, proof he will never get, and this country will NEVER admit to wrong doing the way the green notices are written its to inform that a RP is in route  its up to the other country to make that decision
 In or out.

HongKong 
 same guy I know has been there 8x he is RP IML sent green notices they pull him in ask questions and allowed him in every time cause his wife from the Philippines arrived  there ahead of him
until IML and the registry is #abolished  we have to just suck it up.]]></description>

I think he’s saying, a person he knows who committed a crime against an adult, was denied entry into a country.  That’s that country’s prerogative.  What proof do you need?

If you are subject to an Interpol green notice, some countries may deny you entry, regardless of whether there is a mark on your passport.]]></description>

adult or a offense against a minor they send green notices OK
they dont claim your offense is for a child or an adult their main focus on destroying a persons life, it letting the country  know you are a reg,Person its part of IML

US Marshall&#039;s and Angel Watch are the entries that send green notices its there Job. and why are they sending these notices?
 it all started with the 21 day notice to your local sheriffs dept  do you see a check mark box to claim adult offense or offense with a minor? possible the issue starts there,

stamp or not, adult or not granted no matter what you have been told from tag.
it  still happens and will keep happening, you can have all the proof in hand to prove what is happening but for the fact our government is going to claim the country of destination has a right to refuse a RP for any reason. thusfore your SOL on any kind of lawsuit

and FYI find this Blog this green notice was accidentally left in the RPs paperwork when he was deported yes Adult offense do you see anywhere it says he had adult offense?
NO just a RSO/a registered SO ....it is an IML notice

I don&#039;t need his name. I need proof that he has an adult case and was denied entry because it contradicts Paul&#039;s info. There is too much fake information being spread online. Hence, we need a reference, news article, letter, evidence, etc., to show that US Marshalls and Angel Watch are not following the rules.]]></description>
