Missouri Legislature considers updating sex offender registry
Sex Offender Registry News
State legislators are talking about updating Missouri’s sex offender registry to be more in line with the federal system. Under State Rep. Kurt Bahr’s proposal, three tiers of offenses would be created, corresponding with how serious the crime was, the 3rd, being the most heinous.
Bahr, R-St. Charles tells Missourinet affiliate KSSZ in Columbia that the proposal would make the registry more effective.
“If we can clean the list off of those people who have minor offenses, then the list becomes more helpful because now you can say ‘If this person is on the list, then they’re likely to be more worrisome,’” Bahr says.
His legislation would offer low-level, one-time offenders an escape from being placed on the list for a lifetime. A punishment he says, that makes it difficult for people to rehabilitate.
“If they do not have a job, if they do not have housing, and if they do not have social interaction with others, if those three things aren’t met, somebody is likely to commit another crime,” says Bahr.
First and second level offenders could petition the courts to be taken off the registry after 10 and 25 years respectively. Top tier offenders would be on the registry for life, as would anyone who repeats a sexual crime while on the list.
Lets not forget Missouri or misery (I lived there for awhile) had a similar plan not that long ago if I’m not mistaken and the Governor vetoed it saying that he wasn’t going to allow sex offender to hide. Was that Missouri or Kansas ?
I have a question? I just checked my email junk mail and about once a month for several months someone has been sending out e mail s to everyone . Using the sex offender registry and maps and saying find out where pedophiles live in your area. I have never been accused or convicted of being a pedophile .but I’m on the list. Would it be possible to try and locate where it’s coming from and sue?
Sure – you can see who owns the domain or the landing page where the link goes to.
Then file a civil suit.
How do I find out who owns the domain?
forward the email to legal@floridaactioncommittee.org
By the way Missouri is in the process of passing a bill allowing felons to vote.appears as if it will pass with strong support. Well Florida you think Missouri s going to hell for that?
