Join us as we take a look at the history and consequences of well intentioned legislation and the human and community impact of sex offender registries. Since 1996, all 50 U.S. states and Washington D.C. require people convicted of sex offenses to be placed on a registry. Over the last 25 years, as laws expanded, the number of people on these registries grew exponentially. Many states are keeping people on registries longer than ever before, sometimes for life, and it has become increasingly dicult to be removed from them. At the same time, a growing amount of research shows that sex offender registries have not met the goals they originally set out to achieve.

The irony is palpable on this one with a title with “The History and Consequences of U.S. Sex Offender Laws”, being that anyone convicted of a sex offense is banned from using Facebook and in some states, prevented from even using social networks altogether. And in some states, being forced to register their online identities.
Florida Action Committee should consider an official letter exposing this irony and drafting a letter to the people hosting this webinar.
This goes to show once again, anyone not fully educated on sex offender laws or it’s history should avoid trying to educate others. This applies to all things serious in life.

Thank you. I was having a problem finding it.
I would think this is geared more toward the general public than registrants – doubt it’s going to present anything not already known to most of us. But considering Facebook’s policy banning registrants, I wouldn’t be surprised if they pulled the plug on it before it started.
If you join the Zoom webinar, do you need to register your username and screen name with FDLE?
I was having a thought a while back and this reminded me somehow of it. When other groups run out of options legally, the protest, riots, strap themselves to buildings etc until they are heard, get their way or make some progress.
If we did that, we would all be arrested, probably counter attacked by another group and our faces, names, addresses etc blasted all over the news. I have never been a scared person and have looked death in the face many times over my lifetime. But I try and keep a low profile, to not only stay off of the radar, but also to keep my family from worry, stress and possible harassment themselves.
We seem to be running out of options in the courts, as the high courts appear to turn a deaf ear to our claims of unconstitutionality of the registry. Especially the retro active application. Of course they say anything that is not punishment can be applied with a blanket sweep of the Queens hand to make it so. And not a “Damn thing” we can do about it.
My point is, mayb we need to start deploying some new stratigies that no one has ever tried. Something outside of the box? I know we have our limits. If we chained ourselves to the columns of the supreme court, we would all be arrested and new charges added. Any other group would be promised at least resolution talks.
When I was a kid up North, I remember the Union strikes that got violent and even the cops were not allowed to cross the picket lines or they got an ass beating.
My understanding is we are banned from Facebook so can’t see this presentation thru there. and it is requiring a password to see it via zoom
Yeah banned from facebook, Next door , and a list of places, sites etc. so long it would take an hour to list them all. But hey, it is NOT punishment according to the courts. A BAN, the word Ban itself relates directly to punishment. See below
officially or legally prohibit.
an official or legal prohibition.
The password is included, but it is not properly formated to be a clickable link.
