I think you might have misunderstood the intent of my question so please allow me to clarify.
1. I asked about the commission of another sex crime not about the allegation.
2. I did not state that the registrant in this article had committed another sex crime.
3. We have a hard enough time as it is living with all of these hurdles that we have to navigate, thus I find a person that is also required to navigate these obstacles that commits another sex crime to be the absolute worst type of person as they knowingly and willfully put us all at risk of further sanctions.

This is the perfect forum to ask since it is the only forum for registrants.
A PFR that is trying to live by the unconstitutional rules and regulations that are forced upon us are definitely damaged by the registrants that COMMIT another sex crime. If they did not commit another crime then the registry wouldn’t have the traction to add more requirements every year.
Yes I want the ones that re offend to be publicly flogged as they are making life harder for the rest of us. There are people on the registry that have gone decades without a violation of any type that are routinely subjected to harsher requirements. Only the PFR’s that re-offend should have any new sanctions placed upon them.
I have watched for decades as the requirements keep getting worse and I have new hurdles to jump through all of the time. Anyone that makes life harder for those of us that served our time by being an idiot deserves a harsh punishment.

I see it in the news all the time where registrants violate the registry with no good reason and every time it makes me mad. I’m not talking about violating by ignorance or the randomly changing interpretations of the laws, but by simple things like failing to register a change of address or new phone number. We all know the basic requirements and have no excuse to not follow them while this infernal registry exists.
I would also add that I do not get mad at the Registrants who get railroaded on the unclear requirements like the internet identifiers or the manufactured home registration. I feel for them because there are requirements so ambiguous that they cannot be followed.

Evidence found outside of the house of a registry violation does not amount to probable cause to search the house. In fact there are many examples of case law that could be used to prove this. The registry violations gave them cause to arrest the registrant however the interior search would require a warrant.
I am not presenting facts that are not on record I am however asserting facts found within case law on illegal searches.

MS. He was arrested and charged in federal court. If convicted he will serve time and be on the registry just like everyone else.

Yes, that was a top law enforcement communicating with what he thought was a young boy. Just imagine. And yet, we are treated worse than animals. I bet he will be kicked out of the force, get his retirement and fade slowly until no one remembers his name, while we, get remembered by the name every day that any mistake, we will be in prison for a looooong time.

Damned straight!
As for me? Give me Liberty or give me death!
I am under no sanction!
I owe the government absolutely nothing except for my allegiance and taxes!

Yep, I’ve read your story numerous times and remember. I’m glad it is reasonable where you are now.

I’m respectful to law enforcement but I don’t allow them to just randomly show up at my home and see me. I won’t ever speak to them. The Registries aren’t acceptable so I’m not going to do even the tiniest, most trivial thing to help them function at all. If government has a problem with that, then they are going to have to pass a specific law which says that I must allow LE to see me. That is all they must do. I’m not doing anything unless it is forced at the point of guns.

Will, the county I lived in when I was released from prison (and then onto probation) was a total nightmare. I guess I could have moved but was broker than a homeless person so had to live with my parents.

Once my probation was over, I had saved enough money (Required to work) and moved to the county I have now lived in for the past 18 years. What a difference it made and even if my regular deputy doesn’t come for some reason, the other deputies, (Males and even females) have all been professional and none have been nasty to me. I have had male, female, white, black and Spanish deputies and all have treated me with respect.

And even where I register, I have never had a bad experience (Other than having to go there in the first place). I know there are some counties in Florida where someone would be a fool to live there as a registrant.

I think James was questioning if being suspected of having an “unregistered vehicle” and arrested for it, gives LE any probable cause to search a home where that vehicle happens to be. That does seem to be quite a stretch for me. Would an arrest for any crime at all give them probable cause to search? I don’t think so. So why would a vehicle crime?

Regardless, you seem to be cheering the fact that Registries seemingly allow LE to search homes for all kinds of reasons. So I suppose you support that government adds hundreds more PFR requirements, so they have more weapons for arresting and searching. Obviously, it could save one child. What else can be added?

How about force PFRs to report all people who live with them? Seems easy. Then if LE is at the property looking for a child and they see anyone they don’t recognize, they can interrogate them to check if they were reported. If not, they can arrest the PFR and search the home.

Or, how about force PFRs to report any “regular” visitors also (could include minors!)? If the PFR knows a person comes to their home more than 3 times in a year, the person must be reported. Again, seeing an unknown person can allow a search. Could do the same with pets also.

What else? Anything that can be added could help. You could think about it and send legislators a list.

People, including PFRs, should not be committing crimes. This crime should not be excused or minimized. This particular situation *probably* was bad. Although the situation she escaped from certainly could have been worse. I don’t know. But *if* this situation was bad, we should all be happy that government helped end it.

Having said that, people should never speak to LE. Even if you have done nothing wrong. PFRs should not allow LE onto their property or anywhere near their front door. The article says this guy was arrested for, “Providing false information to law enforcement in a missing person investigation.” If you get arrested for that, you are a fool who deserves it.

Along those lines, how did LE determine the vehicles were “illegal”? The PFR probably told them.

@ James, re “One question that has been troubling me however I would like to have answered by the rest of the PFRs. When a PFR commits a sex crime am I the only one that wants to publicly flog them for the damage that they are causing all of us that are trying to live within the laws and navigate this ever changing noose of restrictions and hoops that we are forced to jump through?”

FIrst, this particular article is an odd place to ask that question. The registrant here wasn’t charged with a sex crime, or even an attempted one. Apparently, nothing the minor said to LE could be twisted or word-smithed into a sex charge. There’s nothing in the article to suggest that the registrant and the minor were anything beyond friends. While certainly foolish on the registrant’s part, it’s not fair to him or the minor to reflexively assume more.

No, you are not the only one who wants to flog registrants who commit more sex crime. But many argue that there should be more evidentiary support to sex charges than mere unsupported accusations (or in a recidivist registrant’s case, more evidentiary support than simply being on the registry). If there is actual evidence of sex crime beyond accusations and insinuation, then of course, burn the accused at the stake, registered or not. But I and many others (though not nearly enough) refuse to presume guilt based on unsupported accusations and/or the insinuation presented by the press, LE, and prosecutors.

Further, and this is just me personally, when a registrant is convicted of another sex crime, I’ll admit I don’t jump on the bandwagon calling for his/her head. There are always plenty of others doing that. I will make it a point to show the registry’s worthlessness, as it had absolutely nothing to do with preventing, investigating, or prosecuting the new charge. And that the accused was always fully registry compliant when the new charge was brought.

In the instant case, don’t be surprised if it turns out that the vehicles belonged to neighbors or their visitors. Searching the address on Google maps shows it was a corner lot on very narrow streets and many yards without driveways on that side of the street. I still question what led LE to presume they were his or acquired outside of registry reporting requirements. Regardless, it DID NOT lead to another sex charge.
