CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The New Hampshire Supreme Court will hear a challenge to the constitutionality of sex offender registry requirements for convicts whose crimes were committed before the legislature imposed more stringent rules.
Lawyers for “John Doe” contend the registry requirements — which have been overhauled numerous times since 1998 — amount to new layers of punishment that weren’t in place when he was convicted in 1987 of sexually assaulting his 14-year-old stepdaughter.
Lawyers for the state acknowledge the information required from sex offenders and frequency of their reports to police have increased, but they maintain the requirements are regulatory and not punitive. Full Article
What a crock of you know what!!!!!!! The people in power in NH are the same variety of liars, cheats & thief’s we have here in California. These people are in full flight from reality. If they don’t recognize this as a form of apartheid like oppression then they aren’t wise men and shouldn’t be in power. They obviously are incapable of recognizing the truth of what they stand for. The below examples of what they do to people that made a mistake, did their time and paid their “debt to society” is sickening. It’s really disturbing that these trash… Read more »
There are many cases that people downloaded illegal pictures don’t molest children. The laws do more harm than good because if someone tries to get help they will get prison instead. And 80% of those families who have a loved one and know they need help, can’t get help. And they don’t get help. Ignorant people think that these laws work and every major study says other wise. All it does is make people go underground and dose not have one ounce of preventive measure. 95% are new offenders and 80%-90% of child molestations are from people that the child… Read more »

Hi none: This video was posted a while back but clearly shows just how life threatening/destructive the registry is. Have you ever noticed nobody has Ever presented any kind of evidence/proof of anything good resulting from registries or any associated laws; either in the press, media or with empirical evidence? All I have ever seen are claims and inaccurate studies from years ago when not much was known about people on these registries; never undeniable proof of a crime being prevented or a child saved. I’m at a loss and have been long past trying to reconcile this in my… Read more »
I agree with you – People ARE Stupid!
The vast majority of people are stupid sheep doing exactly what they are told and would rather die than think. That is what politicians count on and that is the fundamental flaw in democratic system we have here.
If the majority of the population is stupid then the minority are at their mercy since they will always be in the minority. The mass of the population can easily be controlled by politicians with simple sound bites such as “If one child is saved” or the ever popular “think of the children” BS!
Hi Tired Of Hiding: Your right!!! People would rather let someone else do their thinking for them because it seems most are so preoccupied with their own little world that they shirk from having to think beyond their immediate sphere of life. They would rather just read what the sell out newspapers publish and they usually take what the papers say as gospel. I’ll bet most people aren’t aware that Russian war planes have been flying off of the coast of California and have been doing fly-overs of Guam in response to what the government in Washington is doing in… Read more »
