I would rather have a sex offender living in my neighborhood in a home and working then one living in the woods behind my house desperate for food and other basic needs. Most people who find themselves desperate will go to desperate measure to maintain life it’s part of our instincts. This all steams from media creating mass paranoia and fear in people. I wish our world would wake up and educated themselves rather then relying on politicians and the government to tell us what is best for our lives. The sex offenders I know pose no more threat then anyone else does to my child of course then again she could walk out the door tomorrow and be taken down by a fellow student this is the world we live in and society has made its own bed. If you don’t want to lie in it get up and take a stand.

That’s a very valid point, JR. Now, most in politics are aware that these have no impact, so what is the real intent? It’s to punish or to gain political gain for themselves. That’s no longer a “well-intended” reason for introducing this horse poop.

The first law of such nature? Perhaps well-intended. The second? Maybe so… Decades upon decades, hundreds upon hundreds of laws, and longer and longer lists of requirements (after we made our legal decisions based on the requirements at the time of our charges) have made it clear:

These laws are no longer WELL-INTENDED.
