It is not really “IF” the registry is punishment, we all know it is, we live it every day. It is getting the courts and/or lawmakers to admit and agree it is punishment that matters. Since it has been proven [citation needed] to be a Profit driven scheme, they will have to be dragged out of their safe spaces for anything to change.

My opinion, if God Himself came down and admonished them for punishing us past our sentences, they would tell God to mind His own business and let humans deal with theirs. Maybe A judge will get a vision in their dreams of the horrors we and our families suffer on a daily basis due to ostracizing us from society and finally do the right thing.

no hope>>> Never give up! There is hope. It has been a long road for a lot of us right from the start. We can prove so much punitive was done to hide their wrong doing it’s bad. REAL BAD. But as they say if your handling a snake you treat it like it is poisonous and how do you stop it from biting you is to cut the head off. Yes FAC and others will be in Geneva but what would happen if Ground Zero for the Megans Law was to get a real big hit that can prove it’s punitive and not just informative as it was ruled while they are there. Their foundation for this constitutional sex offender ruling was about as big as the size of a ball point pen. Best part is that even with their “Due Process” ruling or because of Due Process it was then turned into punitive by Law Enforcement. It’s like the Bronx Tale bar scene, Now you can’t take me off the public website or it will show your at fault and New Jersey informed them in 8/01/22 that they are not to be making it public record. So now John Doe Retro is going after New Jersey for it being an extension of punishment…

DMC>>> I feel your pain an we are all trying to do something about it. As more and more of these laws are challenged it’s the New Jersey one that is going to be big as it will cut the head off the snake. New Jersey is ground zero for the registry an this has already taken out the Megans Law foundation website. If this case can prove ( which it should ) that their laws of informative was punitive it could very well make this SOR unconstitutional on a State and Federal level. See New Jersey is mirrored off of the VCC better then any state. Now Lee County Florida is ground zero for it being an extension of punishment. As they refused to honor the Civil Judgement and made it public when it was ruled not for public notification and more additional punitive things that will come out.

Philip Padilla:
Jace won his case on appeal, and just recently, in his second trial. You need to learn how he overturned an entrapment case.

To a large degree, the government (at all levels) is responsible for the publics current perception of people on the registry. The government should then be held responsible and be required to initiate and maintain a public information campaign to promote the truth. This campaign could have the added benefit of educating the public in the best practice to actually curb sexual abuse.

Money? The requirement should be a punishment because of the government’s period misdeeds. However, the money could be transferred from the registry budget.
