   Ugh really? Craigslist is notorious enough already. Now it was used to help setup a sting operation. More baffling is why the San Luis Obispo police were dealing with the tip if the poster lived in Arizona. Weird story all around.

   The day is coming, possibly already here when reporting anybody even suspected of being registered or a sex offender give one a sense of community pride, almost national pride…somewhat similar to the mid to late 1930’s in Germany…let’s report our good neighbors, the Jews!

     You are closer than you may think. Check out the documentary “Paragraph 175” about the Nazi sex crimes law that started it all.

   The fact that rc can’t view there own profile on megans law to check for errors is unbelievable.

     my wife checks mine regularly…there are errors on it, as expected

       Megan’s Law is an error in and of itself. Doesn’t matter in the information is “current” or “accurate” because it defeats the purpose of even having a registry as long as individuals are made to register that are not a legitimate safety “threat” or a credible public safety “risk.”

       California RSOL, and Janice’s powerful letter worked for me. She was doing more important stuff, I know, so it took time, but it is done. If your last conviction was long enough ago that you want it listed under “Date of last offense” but the locals refuse to do it, it can get done. Thanks, Janice!

     I thought CA RSOL was considering a challenge to this restriction of RC not able view CA Megan’s Law site?

       I consider it legal research and if they bust me for checking the accuracy I would fight it on those grounds.

   Even though they are deceptively using an RSO as their posterboy for this, they are asking for others to report suspicious activity that they suspect is a sex crime, which 19 out of 20 times will be committed by a non-registrant. This doesn’t sound like a bad thing except that using the term ‘sex offender’ implies this is about registered sex offenders, when 95% of the time it is not.
