I am considering moving to lake Elsinore in a couple of months. Currently living in OC. The city I live in has a simple registration process. Make an appointment wait 30 minutes and you’re out of there after an hour total and they treat you with respect. I simply want to move where myself, my wife and my two toddlers can live in a much nicer home. Does anybody know what the registration process is like in Elsinore compared to OC? Any info you have would be greatly appreciated.
Hmm…. It seems yet another empirical study (this one used federal funds provided by the DOJ) focusing on the AWA. It’s long. It’s windy. But it is calling for a more empirical based method to classify risk levels. I personally think it’s a bunch of crap because it doesn’t touch on the many obvious negative results of the AWA and seems to be done from the standpoint that the AWA keeps people safe; which we all know is another bunch of crap. Here is a link to the LYNN University aretcl that has a link to the doc for those that may be interested.

This is an older scholarly/empirical study. Some of the information is dated, the rest of the information is either still being felt or is outright prophetic. It’s hands down one of the best studies I have read on the subject.

I think we all need to sign the petition on http://act.couragecampaign.org/sign/GovBrownPrisons/ It is important that he gets all the negative feedback possible, especially since he is up for re-election.
Q – what a great response. All of us need to sign that petition. There is power in numbers, and Governor Brown needs to hear from all of us. With all the registrants and all the family members and friend of registrants, we should have a pretty good case on being heard. So please, don’t be lazy. It takes 2 minutes to sign and make a difference. We have to make changes here. It is inevitable, but we can help it along.
This is a thought provoking must read by Constitutional attorney and author John W. Whitehead. I’m reasonably sure everyone that reads this will recognize the examples in this piece that play out daily and more frequently as time passes all across America. It’s also very disturbing.

For some reason, I can’t post my comment on “Porn debate over National Geographic photo goes to SJC.”
Anyone else having problems?
Well, Kind of #13 on the rules of RSO’s We have to initial like 20 some odd “Rules” . Anyway # 13 on the list says in parenthesis ( Any address You spend the day or night at(“REGARDLESS OF AMOUNT OF DAYS OR NIGHTS YOU HAVE 72 HRS 3 days to register that address”) That is New I Never seen it before or on any previous copy. Now Here is the catch, If You go visit a freind and say helped him move some stuff @ his house and it took a day or even You visit every month & You don’t put Them down as a most frequented or as a residence YOU CAN BE FOUND GUILTY OF FAILURE TO REGISTER” !! Now that is infringing on Our rights to even spend the Day with ANYONE ANYWHERE (“No Mater the amount of days or nights spent”) That is on My Reg. Any one else? Because if it is & it is New ??? All I know is People do NOT want You to come around at all for fear of having the LE invade THEIR PRIVACY Basically making You a prisoner in Your own Home. Otherwise they collect data on Those that would help You & Who they are & Know & So On & So On. Now is that a problem? I Think it is.
Or say You help a friend or have family that you go and visit 1ce a year for a day? & you do not register that address a guy just got busted for failure to register for just that! Yea he was in another county and visiting some relatives on Halloween passin’ out candy and went home & still was nabbed because THE POWERS THAT BE went and asked “How Often He visited” They said every holiday or some such & BAM! Done deal!!!!NOT RIGHT @ ALL He was not hurting anyone & Everyone knew in the family & He did not live there He just Visited For a day or two here & there. So Now THEY Are going to question family members & Friends at random when was the last time You visited & for how long? & This is America Home of the Free? NOT!
I haven’t seen that rule. Guess it’s new. I don’t update until summer. If that is the case, if I go on Christmas every year and spend the day (what is that, a full 24 hours, 12 hours, one minute or less?) at my inlaws house, I would have to register that address. Ridiculous. Besides, my in-laws already know my situation. It’s getting like when I was in a work furlough center and had to call in every move I made between jobs locations. If I didn’t notify them, I could be sent to jail. Now this really is exactly like being put back in custody. How can they do this and it still be Constitutional? And what have I done to deserve this? Just trying to obey their changing rules and somehow make a life.
last year I was personally told if you are gone from Your residence for 72 hrs or more I had to report that to registration. I asked how long can I be gone for without everyone freekin’ out? Now it is, “a day or night anywhere but where you live”…Quite a jump wouldn’t You say?

With all the created problems cited in this doc you would the state would get a clue!
I will do just that I will try this site will Not allow files to be uploaded or I would have already that is what I am saying This is hard to do unless I mail them to SOME BODY ???? Who Janice? IDK I HAVE THE PAPERS IN MY HAND RIGHT NOW!
Or We could all get “Drop Box” But I’m afraid of what might wind up in it I used to have a dropbox account but I never reinstalled it after formatting because they were Hacked. & Since then I just figured safe than sorry a good way for some one to set 1 of us up! Don’t It’s cool for file transferes what is better is a program called team viewer You can actually see what each other has or wants to show on there computer but cannot take it & can only be paired via personal OK & Password. Use it all the time to remotely help people with their Techie issues It’s faster for Me & Them especially if We are far apart. Am I the Only guy that does this Tech & Counter tech stuff or what?
Tomorrow I might have to check myself into the hospital for a day or two. My question is there any special rules-laws I need to know? I will be telling the hospital I’m a RSO, I will call the local PD and tell them of my stay. Is there anything else I should do?
There is absolutely no reason to tell the hospital anything. I was in the hospital for a month and didn’t feel the need or have the desire to tell the cops or the hospital. It has nothing to do with why you are there.

Does anyone know if we are planning on going on vacation, we live in Orange County, will be gone 8 days … Do you have to notify the police that you’re leaving? Fortunately in three years we’ve never had a home check. I know we don’t need to notify the state we are going to unless its more than ten days? But about here … .

Wondering how these parklets would be treated with regards to residency restrictions. Are they being enforced in LA or not? Whatever happened to that tiny park that was being built last year – was it in Torrance?
Any Experience with TSA PreCheck?
I travel for business and because of my status with a major airline, I almost always get TSA PreCheck when I fly that airline.
I’d like to register and pay for TSA Pre so I could have the privilege of faster times through security on all airlines I fly, but I don’t know if I went through the “official” process they may deny me because of my 290 status, and then I may lose it even on my preferred airline.
Anyone have experience with applying for and getting TSA Pre?
