Another one of those “good news stories.“ Oy! The fact that the state went back to court to try to gouge out an exception to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling indicates that once again, the powers that be have no intention of being court orders unless forced to and even then, they will go down and kicking and screaming. Shades of Michigan.
With that said, I do find it interesting that at least 2 courta in the same state have determined that being on the registry is in the same category as the death penalty in that it that neither can be applied to minors.

In reply to Brandon. I think it is hypocritical to demand we not be on a registry then turn around and wish it upon other groups. If we make a case for a registry for any group of people, that justifies the legality of registries as a whole. I have heard of kennels having bad dog owner registries where they buy dogs just to fight etc. If that was just an internal thing used just by the kennels so not to give up their dogs to bad people, I might support it. However if made public, someone who loved dogs might use that information to attack the person or their families.

In reply to Brandon. If we have to have a registry, why not put political criminals on it. However, I do not support registries of any kind.

I support a registry for politicians and judges who don’t follow the Constitution!! On the registry would show their laws and court decisions that violate the Constitution; along with showing the damage that their stupidity has caused the country.

In reply to Brandon. The only registry I approve is a wedding registry at Target. And I could live without that one.

In reply to Brandon. A non-public police registry of bad cops might be helpful in police hiring. A PUBLIC registry, on the other hand, would prevent bad former cops from the opportunity to turn their lives around, and would create pressure for laws upon laws, as we know so well. So it depends on what Sen Booker is proposing and what happens to that legislation.

I’ve heard some states charge people after they turn 18 when they committed a crime years ago. Wonder if that’s why states got rid of the statue of limitations!! With the age of consent laws in some states you can get married at 14 or 15. Personally I think it should be up to the individuals with their parents permission. States need to get out of people’s bedroom!!

Sen Booker wants a registry for cops. What do y’all think?

In reply to Capt Charles Munsey Jr. USN Ret. Capt Munsey, I have thought similar about the age of consent. Why is it 16 in one state and a state right next to it is 18? Just make it 18 nationwide and be uniform under the law.

In reply to Derrick Matthews. You were 15 and that was 38 years ago? How long must you, I and others pay for our sins? I was in my 20s when arrested and am in my mid 50s now. 29 years ago.
