I would add that having such laws against vigilantism means absolutely nothing when they are not enforced and instead the vigilante is patted on the back by police and prosecutors as we have seen many times. The registry should not exist period. Even when it is kept just for police, the police become vigilantes themselves sometimes.

In reply to obvious answers.

To add to your image: It’s like placing teeny-tiny words saying “Don’t” and monster, bold, neon letters stating “Kick Me!” as a “Hey, we TOLD them not to kick anyone.”

A safeguard for me would be to not have a registry at all. Especially one that put many of us on it retro-actively. And as the registry was an American idea, now other countries are copying what we do, as is done with many things the U.S comes up with.

Having said that, if we had to have a registry (Seems we do) then it not being public would at least increase our and our family’s safety.

it’s a fact known as old as time… placing a sign on someone’s back that says kick me and then tell everyone they can’t kick the person will get the person kicked…. It’s absolutely impossible to create a registry or any form of public humiliation and not have repercussions to the person and the family of the person branded with the star of David .
