Orange Joins Cities Changing Sex Offender Bans

The city of Orange is set to join a growing list of cities revising bans on registered sex offenders in parks in the wake of recent state appeals court rulings. … Orange has already been served with a lawsuit, Lindsay v. City of Orange, challenging its laws banning sex offenders in parks. The suit alleges the entire ordinance must be repealed, but the city attorney is recommending only one section pertaining to parks be removed. Full Article

Jesus H Christ!?!?! If anyone doesn’t understand why Janice referred to the city of Orange as “not too bright” at the 2014 RSOL conference in Texas just watch the video of Janice’s presentation and then read the article. I sincerely hope this lawsuit moves forward because this town still thinks the constitution doesn’t apply to them; or only the parts they choose. And now they want to remove only one part of their illegal laws pertaining to parks? I agree; they aren’t very bright at all! These Hitler wannabees don’t even wan’t registrants to be able to decorate their homes on halloween! And how is a registrant supposed to know if another registrant is in a hotel before they check in? I’ll still be avoiding that town like the plague because I would still fear being arrested if I stopped at a gas station that had a child day care less than 300 ft away on the street behind it, or any other kind of place where children congregate.

Janice Bellucci: Challenging Presence Restrictions

“…and checking into motels where other sex offenders are staying. Violations result in a $1,000 fine and possible jail time.”

And how exactly does Orange expect registered citizens to comply this unconstitutional law? Require us to ask the desk person if there are any registrants already checked in? Require motels to hang a “Vacancy for Registrants” sign, indicating that it’s a “compliant” motel?

These laws are so beyond the point of being insane, it’s nearly impossible to imagine that the people who thought them up, have ANY intelligence whatsoever! How do these clowns get elected? Oh yea! By proposing these types of laws! Even scarier is the fact that enough idiots exist, to elect these morons in the first place!

Remember orange county is nixon county…they don’t honor a fair trial..they can erase evidence from record..nixon tactics are par for that county..back hallway removing evidence cheats crooks.

I’ve never been arrested stopping at a motel or checking into a campground, althought there is a good chance I unwittingly violated some ordinance or other somewhere with serious consequences. I will say this: whenever I travel some where, it’s always a worrisome business pulling over to stay the night (or even to rest in the day) somewhere. These ordinances and shaming laws have done nothing but make the world a much more dangerous place for my family and me.

The Orange City Council will meet tonight starting at 6 p.m. During the meeting, the Council will consider whether to significantly revise the city’s sex offender ordinance by eliminating all presence restrictions and placing a stay of enforcement on all residency restrictions. The agenda item is 9.2. The meeting can be viewed live online tonight.

The City Council of the City of Orange voted 4 to 1 on August 12 in favor of removing all presence restrictions as well as placing a stay of enforcement on all residency restrictions. There will soon be an article added to the website which provides more details about this vote.
