My question is this. Folks seem satisfied that the restrictions no longer apply to those who are not on active state supervision. To me this IS NOT good enough by a long-shot! Does CA have indefinite lifetime community supervision where registered citizens are afforded fewer rights for the rest of their lives? If so, this is not anywhere near good enough.
This is very exciting news. I do believe this can be used as fuel for other states and cities. If something is unconstitutional in one state or city, it certainly would be in all. We all live under the same constitution.. Hats off too Janice Bellucci and the judge that opened their eyes to the human suffering that this law causes.
And my question remains: Was there a problem with people convicted of sexual offenses living wherever they wanted to prior to all these restrictions and Megan’s Law?
Sexual offenses have been happening long before Megan and Jessica were even born. So what’s the uproar about where people can live? Let’s look at where sex offenders lived in the 1970’s and 80’s. Was there a problem? Did they hang out at schools waiting to attack? If the answer is “No”, then why do the masses fall for this bullshit?
People just don’t want someone living near them whom the state publicly classifies as undesirable or worse.
They’re wrong, of course, but that’s why SORRs remain popular everywhere.
But my point being that people with sex offenses back in the 70’s and 80’s and before that lived in neighborhoods and near schools and didn’t have all these restrictions, so where did the lawmakers come up with these idiotic ideas and why did people buy into it?
Lawmakers and the public both act as if sex offenses started with Jessica and Megan and never before those two kids.
Men with old convictions were just hiding in the shadows, waiting for their next victim, according to this thinking. Their risk of recidivism remained “frightening and high,” in Justice Kennedy’s words. And if the public weren’t better protected from their urges, their next victim could end up like Jessica or Megan.
Which we now know to be nonsense. But it takes a long time for the law to catch up with the facts.
Ah, Maestro, I find your naivete refreshing as you have just asked what we all at one time, way in beginning also asked. It’s really simple: Adam Walsh, Jimmy Ryce, Megan Khanka, Jacob Wetterling and folks feel free to chime in with whoever i’m missing. All true horror stories to which the country went absolutely star-craving bonkers and the rest is history……
One day, I’m going to tell a judge either myself or through a lawyer, “Meghan’s Law is a powerful tool that needlessly shatters countless lives forever. It’s cruelty and evilness lies in the fact that I’m not the one who raped and killed Megan Khanka and I ask the Court to force the State and its citizens to stop treating me as if I did.”
Because people are hateful, self-righteous, and unforgiving. They are not doing this out of a sense of concern for child safety. This is all about making “these scum who prey on our innocent and helpless children” live in dire misery the remainder of their lives. They see it as child molestation forever ruining a child’s life, so they think turn-about is only fair play, so they designed this byzantine code of draconian laws to achieve precisely that end.
Look at the other article on how jail and prison turn-keys stand there and allow child molesters to be murdered in prison. This is what society really and truly wants. Ask anyone! Most will tell you a rope or a bullet is too quick for the likes of child molesters.
IT IS NOT FEAR! IT IS PURE HATE AND AN UNSLAKABLE THIRST FOR THE MOST PAINFUL RETRIBUTION POSSIBLE.
At least this city has some courtesy towards sex offenders, God only knows how the rest of the country can be so punitive.
This city has no such courtesy. They were sued.
