Article quotes Sheriff, “Sex offenders aren’t just sex offenders, they commit burglaries and thefts and property crimes. If we don’t know where they are, that creates a problem.”
I wish we had stats on how many RC are first time convicted of a crime and have not committed a crime since.
The sheriff shows the ignorance and lies in his statements that have been told to the public by politicians to get unconstitutional laws passed. He needs to be educated on the facts and get educated on the constitution.
I have an idea. Let’s work on the following goal.
No more sex offenders. No more victims. No more wasted resources.
Jim Black, Sheriff’s Special Program Coordinator for the department’s sex offender registration program and San Bernardino County Probation Department spokesman Chris Condon obviously have beliefs based on many things that have proven to be untrue.

If you are a registered citizen and you don’t commit petty crimes such as the sheriff has described, then maybe he ought to cool it with the derogatory comments. And I sure hope he doesn’t engage in harassment of registered citizens, unless he has some genuine evidence they are committing misdeeds. Hey, I have an idea too. The sheriff and other public spirited anti-crime citizens can form a committee to find jobs for 290’s. Let registered citizens earn a… Read more »
