Well I might have “Fudged” a bit. 🙂

BTW when someone says there will be cake and there isn’t, I really have to go to therapy afterwards. Lawsuits would follow and the baking industry would collapse.

“The cake is a lie! ”

(Sorry, couldn’t resist)

That is Texas hospitality for you, wishing you a good evening after peeing in your cheerios. Reminds me of Chuck Norris as Walker Texas Ranger right before he kicked you in the face.

They do not see it as their money being used even though it is in the big picture through tax appropriations. Many support more money for registry compliance than they do for border compliance.
They have been fed a lie that without the registry we would all go crazy kidnapping victims and dragging them into the woods by the 1000s.

The only good part is that at least for the foreseeable future, this would not likely go anywhere. A presumed Democratic swing in the state house, A new Democratic Governor coming next month. The only Republican hold is in the state Senate. And our less severe laws came from the Dems. Not to mention the Torsilieri decision and how that all works out.

Nobody,

One of my favorite shows is Blue Bloods. I use to work in law enforcement and do miss it somewhat and now I live it through the show. There is a character named Danny who is a detective and he and his female partner were arguing in one episode about if people that have a criminal past can change.

Of course she said not everyone is a career criminal but he felt the opposite and said “Once a criminal, always a criminal”. The reason this was even brought up was because Danny had a complaint filed against him at the police station by the ex-felon because Danny kept following the guy around hoping to catch him in the act of committing a crime and wouldn’t let it go or accept the guy was clean.

Please stop promoting the law enforcement “copaganda” that Sex Offenders keep the public safe! That is a lie. Just look at recent headlines about sexual offenses – perpetrated by teachers, coaches, police officers, clergy, etc. NONE of those perpetrators were listed on any Sex Offender Registries, so how exactly did the Registries protect those victims???

Don’t spread the lies and myths!
Sex offender Registries have been ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL by numerous judges throughout the Country, including by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, you neighboring State.
Sex offender Registries are wrong and need to be abolished.”

Facts

WHY are they so afraid to give us a chance to prove them wrong? If we re-offend, yes we deserve whatever punishment they give us, but one strike and you are done for life is not restorative justice. It is what we are not allowed to call it, punishment. But because the Great and powerful OZ says it is not, then it is not.

I wonder if those powers work for anything, just point at a cat and say it is a tree and everyone has to accept that as truth and the law of the land.

If more officers and deputies were more like that, maybe they wouldn’t get crap from registrants. Where I use to live, I got at least 3 visits a week that consisted of city officers, deputies and even once an FDLE agent. They would come at all hours of the day or night and if I was not home, they would knock on the neighbor’s doors asking if they had seen me. That made it seem I was a fugitive, high profile felon or something worse.

Mine use to be cool but once the covid hit, instead of privately coming up to our door, he now stands at the street and yells out “Just make sure to keep your registration requirements updated” for everyone for a mile to hear. The main covid scare is over but still won’t come to the door in case I have cooties.
