You know i hate to say it but over the years with the governments abuse of power and the constant power grab between citizens vs the government which we are losing. I can honestly see some similarities between what Germany did all those years ago compared to the registry. It hasn’t reached those levels yet thankfully and its sad to compare the 2 as what happened was horrific. But charging people for not reporting someone that didnt commit a crime and everything else that encompasses the registry. Or with a certain virus when they had hotlines to turn family and friends in for having get togethers. I honestly dont think its going to get better anytime soon sadly. In reality its going to get much worse as just recently someone killed a S.O in jail and the comment section was horrible. People dont care anymore unless it affects them personally and will allow the government and or society to do anything to those people and not care. Humanity is in a downfall.

City, county and state governments are gradually that way. Politicians feel the power and that it is their political duty to do so. I would like to think that I am wrong, that’s just what I see happening.

If you look at the age difference between the man and the woman it was only a year.
I suspect she was his girlfriend or his relative, otherwise, how else would she have known.
If it was his relative, then she is in trouble for not telling on her own flesh and blood.
We are not told why he was at the daycare center either and how she knew he was there.
This may not be the case here, but sometimes the devil is not in the details but in those who leave them out.

North Carolina has an odd way of handling crime. A man with a long rap sheet stabs a young woman to death because he was in the community when he shouldn’t have been while a man (and now a female witness), neither of which have been accused of actually causing anyone harm, are being locked up with felony charges.

In the end, if this upside-down application of justice prevails, it may actually be safer to be locked up than to be in public.

No random citizen can know the court stipulations and special circumstances by having the general knowledge that “so & so is a PFR”. I read an article a few years back about how statistically speaking over 95% of Amber Alerts were from a private custody dispute and involved a child(usually the father) taking a child from its known residence.

In my Case, I had the legal understanding to nullify a great deal of things off of my PFR status. It barely makes sense for the residency check to be done with me since I got a nullity of all living/distance/proximity restrictions.

One might ask, what’s the point? Easy money that’s the point. Good for votes and milking the risk-free policing of the non-violent PFRs.

I disagree only with the end of your comment. I don’t believe politicians care about children at all. They use children as leveraged assets for votes and publicity.

As far as able-bodied. I agree with you, but they have a plan for that. It’s a plan that has been in the making for ages.

I have trouble finding a way that this North Carolina law could remotely be held as Constitutional. I seem to recall reading about a murder Case years back where a witness was charged for failing to report it. The Court dismissed the charges against the witness citing that they do not have the obligation to report it.
I believe (it’s been about 30 years so forgive me for paraphrasing rather than quoting) the Judge said something to the effect of, “If we go by the logic that someone is culpable for a crime because they did not report it, then we would have to hold everyone culpable for speeding, littering, and jaywalking because they do not report it.”
The Burden is not on the citizen but rather on the law enforcement to investigate a crime. Demanding that a Citizen report a Crime is a violation of the Citizens 5th Amendment right to remain silent and breaches the First Amendments Freedom of Speech due to the Compelled Speech this law demands.
