MO: Sheriff’s office turns registrants into social media companies
There is nothing illegal about having a social media account if you are required to register. Since the Supreme Court decided Packingham it is actually unconstitutional to prevent a registrant from accessing social media. Some states (including Florida) require you to register your accounts, but cannot prevent your access.
One Missouri County has found a way to circumvent Packingham. Livingston County Sheriff, Steve Cox, is turning his registrants into social media companies, when they come in to register having an account!
According to this article, Cox says, “I have notified the social media companies of my findings and already heard back on most of the reports of sex offenders violating the social media company rules/policies. All were thankful for our notifications.”
What a jerk!
If anyone wants to contact the Sheriff to let him know that the recidivism rate of registrants is VERY low and social media is a medium through which people get news, connect with family members and engage in political discussion, you can do so by emailing him at [email protected].

He say’s many registrants have been found to be in violation of social media rules. Really ? Then everyone convicted in a internet sting on a adult site should have their convictions overturned because law enforcement violated the social media sites rules as well. Strange how the sword only cuts one way.
“There can be no justice so long as laws are absolute.” Such laws as these – without degrees of punishment, and with such severe consequences – cannot be just. Rules should also have exceptions, and that rules with no exceptions can never be just.
Well there is another way they get around the rule if your on probation its a stipulation no social media accounts
The registrants should create a class action suit. Here is why: First, it is against the law to use the registry to purposefully break the law such as to harass or threaten registrants. In fact, to access the registry, users must agree to this condition: not to use registry to break the law. The sheriff is using access to the registry for the purpose of violating freedom of speech rights guaranteed Packingham. This is akin to the intake nurse at the county health department using privileged access to records to contact the employers of patients of the clinic to tip them off the employee has an expensive illness or is pregnant to conspire to fire the employee before a medical claim comes through.
Hardly a surprise as the authorities have always suppressed the voices of minorities and the classification of registered sex offender is nothing more than an artificially created minority whose members are forced into the classification and have no choice or freewill in the placement – NO different than any other “minority” group such as gay, black, or Jewish.
This suppression and/or censorship of select American citizen’s rights of freedom of speech and self-expression is both evil vile and certainly UN-American!
Just other suppressed and abused minority groups such as blacks are fighting the establishment of these repressive and stereotyping labels so must we to be seen as individuals and not a faceless enemy that doesn’t exist.
The time to end this shit is long overdue!

This is on purpose, these unjust laws and many like them are a design by Soros and other who are guilty of the very thing they accuse us of.
He and Gates are on RECORD being caught bribing officials not only in America but even as high as the Italian president. Their goal is to divide this country as much as possible in order to destroy it and “rebuild” in their image.
What better way than to put a million on a shame list to irrationally pit others against. They also try very hard to start race wars (100’s of millions of dollars donated to BLM and ANTIFA on record) in order to foment unrest and cause infighting. They own the media and most of hollywood. They will never go to court in this life unless we stand against them and their un American plots.
Unless the head of this snake is severed things will never get better for us or any fellow American. We have sat by and let our Constitution be degraded and our babies be murdered in the womb. We deserve what we get and unless we stand now there will be no free place left in this world.
Pray God has mercy on our souls and stand firm on truth. That is our only hope both as individuals and as Americans.

Same. And remember, creatures such as this are not people. There is no need to even pretend to be nice to them.
Defund the police. Defund big government.
