Let me try to find the details of my DOHA security clearance disapproval. I will forward once I have the details.

I don’t know, off hand, any case where that happened.

FAC Legal, is it true that a FL Federal court agreed here that registration is “probationary “?

Calm me down if I’m getting too excited here.

FAC, I know we have a lot going on today, but appeal of the above would be an excellent candidate for a legal challenge fund.

I say that, because either an appeals court disagrees that that registration constitutes “probationary monitoring,” paving the way for eligible registrants to receive their security clearances. OR the appeals court upholds the rationale that registration IS “probationary monitoring,” and you can just imagine the vulnerable position in which that rationale would place the registry.

On the surface, IT’S WIN-WIN!

Am I wrong?

I am not aware of a case in which a prosecutor admitted this in open court.

Either way, this case may contain useful material for your legal question, “is the registry punishment?”

Registration is considered probation is a true statement. I was attempting to get my security clearance reinstated after 15 years of clean record. I met all the requirements but was turned down. I followed the process and hired a lawyer and had my day in Court. Everthing looked except, when one issue … the DOHA prosecuting atty got the judge to side with his point “The US Govt considers anyone being required to be assigned to any state or federal registry as still being on a type of monitoring… type of probationary registration…and is therefore NOT eligible for a security clearance.” It cost me 10000 to get told no and I lost a great job making better than 80000 a year with upward mobility options available.

The Registry is seen as life long Probation.

Libel? Out of curiosity, how?

Registration is another name for probation, we just don’t have an assigned officer. Think about it. We have to report at prescribed intervals and event-driven intervals to provide personal information. We have to pay for supervision, in Duval County (Jacksonville) we have to pay $25 per registration so it could be $50 or $100 per person per year. We are restricted from places and activities, and if we don’t comply, we face fines, imprisonment, and electronic monitoring.

I believe Floriduh is intent upon having all registered citizens under probation for life.

There’s something else at play here, I suspect Nevada has its own “book.” According to the cited article:

“Supporters of the changes include Republican Attorney General Adam Laxalt, a gubernatorial candidate…”

Yet another bully who wants to look tough on crime for political purposes. Also, with this kind of attitude from one of our “supporters,” we don’t need any detractors:

Las Vegas attorney Alina Shell represents sex offenders…..
“They’re among some of the most reviled people in society, often subject to harassment,” she said. “The attitude about sex offenders is never going to change.”
