The transcript shows two things:

1) If the registration requirements are so confusing that the most brilliant legal minds can’t seem to figure them out, how is the common man supposed to?

2) If registered sex offenders are “so dangerous” why would they take the time, effort and money to extradite a registrant who moved out of the country back to the US?

The latter, goes to show that the registry is not about public safety, but about punishing registrants at all costs.
