In response to all those who responded to this post, “Both sides now”, I want to thank each and everyone. I will concede and agree to complete and total abolishment of the registry. This in its self is an example of coming together and working towards finding equitable solutions to problems we all face in this day and age.

In reply to JJJJ. Really, the minority? I wish that were true in my experience. Every person I have met that later found I was a "Sex Offender" abhorred me and shunned me after that.

In reply to Facts should matter.

Those who hate and persecute registrants are absolutely rabid. They cannot be reasoned with.
Fortunately, these rabid curs are in the minority.
Unfortunately, their self-righteous indignation is LOUD, and politicians pander to this crowd of hatred-spewing, youth-exalting mad dogs.

In reply to FAC Contributor #3. We do have diverse opinions and approaches. That's understandable. I will, however, agree to disagree with them on a few points. There is just no way, in my opinion, to salvage this FUBAR registry scheme. And with our culture being more openly hateful in recent years, I don't trust a registry even if it was just accessible by the pigs.

In reply to Jacob.

I, and many many others, totally disagree. Having your name listed on a registry, even if only the police have access to it, will NEVER prevent someone from committing a crime, nor will it keep the public safe. Think about it…if I write your name and information on a piece of paper or store it on my computer so only I can see it, how will that protect the public from something you might do? How would it prevent you from breaking the law? It won’t.
Laws are written to punish people who do something wrong, not to protect the public. For those who believe laws are in place to protect the public, tell me why people continue to break those laws.
Registries do NOTHING to protect the public. They only continue to punish people who are on them.

Remember This, No One Can Predict The Future Action’s Of Someone Else!

And IF ‘They’ Could Predict The Future, WE Should All Put in As Many Dollars As WE Can and Have Those Persons Go To The Casino and Bet Everything, As They Can Predict The Future, And We Will All Be Billionaires!

CORRECT?!?!?

No One Can Predict What Will Happen In The Future!

The registry is a shaming tool that does harm without providing value. Isolation and shaming have never been good or effective public policy. Once on a registry— the harm is done. State sanctioned harm simply creates more harm while giving a false sense that it’s helping. I am sad to see the views of the authors shared on this site.

In reply to Disgusted in Michigan. Exactly right. A person who is on probation or parole can be monitored. A person who is listed on the Hit Lists can do whatever they want. "Monitoring" those people is a dumb lie for dumb, gullible people.
