I have spoken to a very well known and knowledgeable attorney firm in NJ about this. While the 15 year clock does NOT reset (thanks to this case above) to be able to not register, the clock DOES reset to get relief from CSL/PSL. So, in 2 years (15 from 2008) I can petition to get off of CSL. Yay. I still will have to register but will no longer be on “as if on parole” supervision.

There is also a different case pending that will (again) fight this clock not resetting to get off registering.

I agree. My officer covered my butt at least 3 times. Not that I did anything wrong just neighbors lying and saying I showed my junk to them so they could make me move. Of course no charges were ever filed on the false reporters. Non registered people seem to get a pass.
Additionally, my PO looked out so much for the people that she looked after, it ended up getting her fired. Only know that because I saw it a few years ago on the news. They gave her such a high work load she could not be at every house ever waking minute. One of the people violated majorly and she did not know and it cost her, her job.
After that all the PO’s in that county became 10000000% by the book plus 100 with ZERO tolerance. Glad I was done with probation when they happened.

Not entirely accurate. There are a few DOC employees who are probation officers that are surprisingly decent people. Refreshingly so even.

What about FAC?

People like Janice Bellucci do take their cases as far up as possible including the SCOTUS. BEcome a voice and just don’t take the crap. Join organizations like WAR and ACSOL to become a larger voice. There is a movement.

I know judges, probation, law enforcement, courts and the public cannot stand us. Having said that, to break the law and lie to get us violated, how in God’s name does that make them any better than us?
They will ( And have ) lie on the stand to cover their butts which also can carry a jail time.
When I was on probation, a neighbor lied and said there was porn on my computer. Cops showed up with probation and did a “Knock and raid” entry. They tore my house apart, then searched my computer. The only thing they found in my apartment was a flyer from a strip club with a slightly dressed pole dancer.
Probation officer took that and said it was porn. When I went in to her office the next day by her order ( thought I was getting locked up ) she told me one of the neighbors had called in a tip.
She said to watch my ass and that was the last I heard of it. Although they never did pay me for all the damage they did to my house when they tore it apart and kicked in my door.

Hey maestro it’s kind of like the DOC joke app I saw it has a question of have you ever had incestuous relations with a family member or a farm animal if you say no your not qualified to work for DOC. ! 🤣

But even if you refused the plea and got a harsher sentence, you’d still come out on to lifetime registration. Going to trial doesn’t exclude registration when released so why does it even matter if you took a plea or not? I’m not getting why everyone is always on the “I should not have taken a plea” kick in here.

I’m convinced that in order to be a probation officer, the only requirement is that you lack common sense.
