The New York bill is driven by fear mongering and political expediency. This bill unnecessarily adds criminal penalties–albeit misdemeanor– to the existing minefield of criminal sanctions. Without criminalizing applying for a job, the state could opt to create a law that would open civil remedies to encourage employers to screen all employees. This would have the same protective effect without creating a new criminal class.

It’s unfortunate that we have regressed to relying on background checks. They only give people a false sense of security. Not too many years ago, background checks were reserved for people that were applying for a job with the FBI, CIA, or some high security position. Now, you have background checks for garbage collectors!
It is very unfortunate that our society focuses on someone’s past mistakes instead of achievements. I feel for the Captain, that because if one mistake, he, like the rest of us that are registered citizens are prevented from participating in most aspects of our society. I am sure Capt. Munsey has a lot to offer, and has many years of experience, and specialized Naval training that would be a tremendous asset to any company. But, because of his background, he is very limited as to what he can do. We are losing a lot of good men because of this witch hunt.
Hopefully someday before we leave this planet, cooler heads will prevail and start to rescind a lot of these draconian, unconstitutional laws!

Amen Amen amen what amazing person you’re for sure saying this topic cause our humans lawmaker think 🤔 it’s really bad peoples are doing those criminals Activities

Only corrupt, criminal regimes have Registries.

I’ve never wanted a job where I had to deal with children at all. What a pain! I don’t need that, there are already too many “adults” who are children.

However, because the Registries exist and only because of that, I’m personally going to go out of my way to be around children all of the time. It’s a normal way to live but I’m going to put extra effort into it and make sure I always do it. There are children around me all of the time. They are even in bathing suits very often!! Very shocking, I know.

That is the proper, moral response to the Registries. I’ve been doing it all my life but a lot more since the Registries.

So … great job, Registries! Registries aren’t protecting anyone, but they are doing something.

IT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA!!!!
