So far the only 2 countries that it was challenged in France and Germany consider it a violation of human rights i also believe the Netherlands made a similar statement that if a person did his time for a crime he or she should be treated no differently than anyone else. you don’t hear of people in Europe having trouble finding jobs because of the past records. only in America does that craziness happen

I am happy for you! Thank God things are working out for you! When I started out on the registry it started out hard. One day I went to one of my jobs and someone posted my face in everything on the board. I could not tell you how I felt after that. The owner ask me to leave. Once one person knows anything about you it is all over with. I pray that it does not happen to you. Keep the faith!

One day a group of around 30 people came in the business and hung Offender flyers about me all over the store. The manager apologized but said they had to let me go after that because they did not need another incident, even though I did not cause it.

I never worked again after that.

I started my own bussiness right after probation. I have a Contruction, painting , and Handyman bussiness. It’s been really awsome. I have not had a single problem with anyone. Just don’t name tge bussiness after your name. I got bussiness cards made. I didn’t put my name on the bussiness cards. I don’t put my name highly out there. I want my bussiness to look like a real bussiness. I do get helpers once an awhile for big jobs. But most of the time it’s my aline. I’m bussiness representing my Heavenly Father. God. I just the love of God to my clients and take pride in my work. I got great reviews.

Only adds to the position of trust argument and the need to dismiss the registry overall.

Where is the data that shows the registry reduces repeat offenses? What is the data of repeat offenses prior to the registry? There is none. Those who need the “registry reduces or prevents repeat offenses” narrative espouse the urban legend to maintain their agenda. The goal of the registry is to inform as stated by the legislatures who endorse it (and even those who let it slip that it’s truly a punishment).

Some factories are so huge or have such a big clientelle they could care less who finds out because it won’t affect production or sales and all they are looking for is someone to fill a position and be reliable.
Working at a place of public patronage will only put you at risk.
There are temporary staffing companies that will find you work as well and can even place you somewhere after you put your time in.

Which countries have considered the registry a violation of human rights?

once your on the registry its all down hill from there
they want us all to fail
i have suggested that if your young enough to move to a different country and start over there
lots of countries consider the registry a violation of human rights.
if your older its tougher that’s why a lot of men are choosing more prison over lack of employment and a place to live
