There are somethings that are not worth fixing and it is best to throw it away.

Here we see them trying to put a fresh coat of paint on a rust bucket. Getting desperate, are we? It doesn’t matter if the information is “accurate” up to date or even in real time. Megan’s Law is a false and flawed premise. It simply does not give parents their power back to prevent the same thing that happened to that girl in New Jersey 21 years ago.

Knowing where someone lives simply does not minimize risk. I don’t care what your argument is for wanting to know.

Maybe we should wait until a CHILD died from having the wrong information on Megan’s law. then we can name it after a child then that might take care of the Megan law.

When we moved into our house several years ago, I looked at the Missouri State Highway Patrol sex offender search (I am not a registrant, BTW). The guy living directly behind us is a registered sex offender, and while all of the information about him was correct, the red dot showed OUR house as being where he lived. I contacted the highway patrol to tell them about this, and they fixed it. Turns out it was a bug in the mapping software that wrongly showed our house as being where the offender lived.
