Yes exactly why the registry needs to be completely shredded.

To yo.

That is funny because not everyone on the registry has a kid as a victim. In fact, there are people on the registry whose only victims were a photo online they viewed. Yes I know if it is a child and you are viewing porn, that is re-victimizing the child, but my point is, I have seen someone get 25 years for looking at a photo and then someone who actually had sex was giving 10 years probation.

Many people on the registry have no under aged victim but get called child molesters or predators without them even looking into our charges. Part of that is sites like Nextdoor which can post basically whatever claims they want about us and we cannot access the site to correct that. I only know what they say about me because one of my neighbors feeds me the dirt they spread about me.

The registry also exists because of monetary funds allocated to whoever feels like becoming a figure who says they are doing it for the kids and are”concerned”.

Thanks for the article. Back in the 80s, I applied for Tampa PD. When I never heard back, I called and asked why I was not hired. They said on the polygraph I failed when asked about cocaine use. That is funny I told them, there was not a question about cocaine use, only a question asking if I had ever used illegal drugs.

Well, what do you know…..anyone surprised?

Well you just gave him all he ever wanted for Christmas. Every time a registered person moves away from GradyVille, he pats himself on the back with a news conference, stating how he is keeping the community safer.
Meanwhile, while tons of his deputies are doing stings on registrants, real crimes are going unsolved and out of control. Law enforcement as a whole is short handed due to cops quitting after incidents such as the George Floyd case. Once officers started actually being held accountable for their actions, they wanted no part of it.

Except the lepers – that lived in colonies were treated somewhat humanely for a condition they were born with. They were basically left alone (out of sight, out of mind) Maybe some were sold off to the circuses at the time, I don’t know, but they weren’t demonized and made a spectacle out of on the Internet.

Lawmakers = we’re not going to solve or prevent anything, but we’re going to make money off of the problem and create jobs while maintaining there is an open-ended “war” against it.

If there’s a coin to be made off outrage and shock value, willful ignorance and indifference is how the U.S. does those things.
