   “state interest in the uniform treatment, management, rehabilitation and reintegration of sex offenders,”

   I’m confused about the residency restrictions and preemption. Most states have set up residency restrictions and yet many municipalities within the state will tailor their own, usually with a much more onerous set of guidelines, which will invariably leave few options for registrants to reside. My confusion is how are these municipal residency restrictions any different from the park bans and presence restrictions with regards to preemption or supremacy clause? Whether the registrant is on parole, probation, or not? I’d like to see some challenges in federal court down in Florida if this approach is viable.

   holy crap, q, what country and value system do you come from???

   “Equal Protection” (core founding principle of US constitution) == “Uniform Treatment”. This shouldn’t be a hard concept to understand.

   “Reintegration”?!??! Well, what else are you going to do? Lock them up forever? Never worked before, won’t work now. Criminals WILL reenter society. Neither killing them nor incarcerating them forever is practical (costs more to imprison than it does to send to Ivy-league colleges), merciful, or very Christian. If we do not give convicts the tools to re-enter society, then society is only creating more outsiders who undermine society.

   And “on drugs”?!? I guess you never knew anyone who has ever taken prescription drugs. Which, BTW, are the leading drug killers in the US.

     Hi Guest:

     If you knew anything about this issue you would be aware that rights guaranteed under the constitution and bill of rights like reintegration and uniform treatment, etc are a farce when it comes to people on the registry that have been convicted of a “sex offense,” weather there was any sex involved or not, let alone another human being involved. And BTW; my value system was shaped in the country the US used to be, when common law was the rule. We now have law by precedent which has greatly contributed to the US being the country with the largest prison population and overly oppressive laws in the world. The fact that you don’t recognize my sarcasm/irony is a clear indication you are unaware of many of the facts surrounding this issue; allow me to help you get up to speed.
