Everywhere I look I see state SO cases but I can’t find anything about federal cases. I’m in Los Angeles county, where a judge made it possible for state parolees to avoid the 2000 feet restriction but because he specifically mentions parole, I’m told by my federal PO that it doesn’t apply to me. Keep in mind that my conditions of release say I can’t live within 300 feet (I was convicted in another state). I’m almost out of the halfway house and there’s basically nowhere I can live. I’m nearly out of options and completely out of money to hire an attorney. My plan was to live with family but they’re about 200 feet too close. I need suggestions…please!

ITS OUR TIME TO SPEAK UP!

We’ve been to every meeting in Los Angeles. Janice Bellucci is our attorney. I am obviously MM and my fiancé doesn’t go on this site … It’s too much for him (25+years is a long time ago) . ,. as I’ve read sooo many stories. I share with him what everyone writes .. . We are the couple that are is suing the city of Cypress, January’ 2013., who have passed residency restrictions.

They said he had to move, July 2012, we sued. We are still in limbo. I have lived in the home I’ve own since October 1989 … (My son was 10 months old) my fiancé moved in February 2011 … Residency restrictions didn’t apply until July 2012.

My question is … Regarding California PC 290, subsection L .. From the meeting in Saturday, the blue sheet of our rights .. . I began to think … If one cannot be denied housing based on the 290 requiremens, then how is it a city can deny one housing?

Just a thought …. I own the home (albeit a mortgage) but …. How, if a registrant has protection against housing restrictions can a city deny them housing ???

@MM – You’re suing….that’s good….stay on it…keep it on the pedal…don’t give up….restrictions are further punishment
and they have violated a slew of civil rights violations ….big
time….please keep us posted….this helps all…don’t give up…
Thank you.

I have a question for everybody, so if you have any experience, please post an answer. Has anyone ever requested personal information via the Freedom of Information Act? Is it possible to get that from FBI, ICE, DOJ and other agencies that may have files on registered citizens?

Does anyone know what the latest is on Jessicas law? I’m looking to buy a house and want to know what my options are. I’m in Huntington Beach now and when I moved here I talked to the police department and was told that they know of no city enforcing the law. My current residence is less than the 2000 feet the law requires. Any information would be helpful.

This is just a general observation about comments on this site and the attitude of registrants in general: We’re so focused on what we cannot do that we’ve been conditioned to accept defeat and a continual erosion of our civil rights. On the eve of the 50th anniversary of the passing of perhaps the greatest president in U.S. history, it’s important to remember these words:

“There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why…I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?”

did the ca supreme court rule on lifetime registery i heard that there is a way to get off of that now could you send me the info if this is true thank you

You can get your FBI or state “rap”sheet. Other records would depend on what they are. You fill out their form, provide a set of fingerprints, pay a fee, and mail it all in. You can get only your own records — how funny to still have laws that respect people right to privacy and designed to make it so they are not humiliated considering they now post it all on tee Internet!

2 days ago, I took my 2 year old to a park to play. When we were leaving, we walked back to where we parked. Along the way, we passed a middle-aged lady walking her dog on the bike trail. We said ‘Hi,’ waved at the dog and had a couple friendly sentences of small talk in passing. As I was buckling my baby in, I heard a commotion down the trail and saw a man shoving her and yelling. I shouted out,”Hey!” And took a couple steps closer to hopefully discourage whatever badness was transpiring. This backfired big time, as this guy started stomping quickly towards me and my vehicle that my daughter was in, and had now climbed out of her seat because she wasn’t buckled in completely when this went down. He chased me around the car a couple times scraming and threatening before the lady came up and said, “Ramone, stop it!” He took to yelling at her for ‘taking my side’ and then walked away still cussing at and threatening me, but not before taking a picture of my license plates. Not only was this a completely immasculating experience, but it left me with so much more fear than the average person would know: what if this guy (with age-faded tear-drop tattoo) finds my address from my plate? The other kick in the pants: I could have been beaten unconscious and done more time than him for being in a park. Doesn’t everyone feel safer because we have so many laws though?!

Well I just had a Security Specialist at Internal Revenue Service look @ my profile on LinkedIn & IDK REALLY Why other than I am out spoken “1st amendment rights” Non violent group and general conversations…SO WE ARE Still Targets Folks Be careful what You say about the law & or cops Or Government is all I can say I really don’t Know any other reason I haven’t Done anything else to My Knowledge.

This just in. Suspect in O.C. homeless slayings dies before trial http://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-homeless-ocampo-20131129,0,2963997.story#axzz2m3n9am9m

How it is relevant here is that one of the murdered homeless men was a registrant and homeless and in harms way only as a direct consequence of a decades old conviction as a teen.

…was living in a home approved for sex offenders when he violated his parole by having lunch with a fellow sex offender. He spent a few months behind bars and, when he got out, he’d lost his room. http://www.ocregister.com/articles/jimmy-336669-middaugh-says.html

Another victim of the registry.
