Does anyone have experience with removing face and info from free public sites like homefacts. I contacted records be gone, and was told they work with removing info from many popularly used back ground checks. I think these free “info” sites are dangerous.
absolutely incredible! I’m watching CBS news about a sex offender working for the state at one of it’s daycare centers. Everyone is outraged that he wasn’t on the website. The short is supposedly his offense 288.3 oral copulation with someone under 18 isnt an offense to be placed on the website, although it’s registrable.
under equal protection under the law say if I have a lesser offense, let’s say 288a with no ev8idence of anything significant as with oral copulation that I too shouldn’t have to be on the website!!
the coverage ended with the legislators dont seem to be interested in changing that right now!
Tonight’s New Family Guy Episode is all about their son Chris becoming a Sex Offender for Sexting and the difficulties he is having with society even after he finishes therapy. At least the episode shows how kids can get on the registry.
I just wanted to share I finally moved out of my tent and bought a used van to sleep in. I saved $100 per month from my GR money for two years and finally was able to buy a used Toyota (van has 275,000 miles but in excellent condition and new tires). I now move between Walmart parking lots every night; it’s been working for a few weeks now with no problem. Between my GR money, new van, and EBT, I am living the new American Dream in our Obama economy. Now I am looking for a job. It’s been five years since my release from prison and CDCR doesn’t care I was living in a tent. The CDCR fools stuck me in a cell for ten years and I lost my wife and job while in there. Up until 2001, I was making a bit over $200,000 per year as a 28 year old computer scientist. Then I made the mistake of having a threesome with two 15 year olds who looked 18. Unfortunately, one happened to be a daughter of a state senator. Nonetheless, my computer skills are obsolete and I don’t have the stamina and/or resources to build proficiency.
1998 molestation conviction expected to be thrown out due to false testimony
LAKEPORT, Calif. – A man sent to prison 18 years ago for molesting a child is expected to be released from state prison within a matter of weeks because it has been revealed that the key testimony used to convict him was fabricated.
District Attorney Don Anderson said he will file a writ of habeas corpus this week seeking the release of 71-year-old ______ _______, who is serving a 27-year sentence in state prison.
“We just learned a couple days ago that he’s innocent,” Anderson said.
Key to that discovery, Anderson explained, was the recantation by the case’s victim, now an adult who came forward to set the record straight.

Possible replacements to Scalia. Just say NO to Kamala Harris.
Sri Srinivasan: The 48-year-old federal appeals court judge was confirmed unanimously in 2013 for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit — a traditional steppingstone to the Supreme Court. He would be the court’s first Indian-American justice.
Patricia Millett: Srinivasan’s 52-year-old colleague on the D.C. Circuit is popular in both parties and is frequently mentioned as a possible candidate. She argued 32 cases before the Supreme Court as an advocate.
Merrick Garland: At 63, Garland is older than most nominees, since presidents want their choices to stick around for decades on the bench. He is a moderate who serves as chief judge on the D.C. Circuit court and could be a compromise choice.
Kamala Harris: California’s attorney general, 51, could be another leading candidate. She has the added luster of holding political office, a life experience that is sorely lacking on the Supreme Court. She’s currently running for the U.S. Senate seat of retiring Sen. Barbara Boxer.
Jacqueline Nguyen: The Asian-American judge, who sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, has been mentioned frequently in the initial hours after Scalia’s death. At 50, she is the perfect age for a nominee.
Amy Klobuchar: If the Senate would be less inclined to block one of its own, the senior senator from Minnesota, 55, might be someone Obama would consider.
Sheldon Whitehouse: See “Senate” above. Whitehouse, 60, the junior senator from Rhode Island, is a former attorney general of Rhode Island and U.S. attorney with
Alex Kozinski has sometimes written pro-defendant opinions and literature. However, as is often the case, there is a clear exception to Kozinski’s stance to registered sex offenders. In both United States v. Juvenile Male, 670 F.3d 999 (9th Cir. 2012) -and- Litmon v. Harris, 12-15261 (2014), Kozinski upheld constitutionality of Megan’s Law and its reporting requirements.
LOOKING FOR RESEARCH STUDY:
Can someone please provide me with the reference to that study, or studies, that have said if you go 10 years without reoffending you are no more likely to offend than anybody else who has never offended.
Please help. My family and I have been living in a motel for the last year, unable to find housing. I have fortunate that the current registration authority has treated me decently. We have to leave the hotel every 28 days and stay in a different motel for 24 hours before coming back. I have been able to avoid reregistration by updating my registry authority by email of the new room number every time. My wife and I now have jobs in another city and need to move closer so I am not driving 100 miles a day. Will I be required to register both hotels even though I amoly at 1 of them once a month? What attitude does the Hollywood authority have and will they treat me harshly?
A criminal has died.
“No one dares say what needs to be said. The object of their veneration was a black-robed thug and sadist who used his position on the bench to attack the basic civil liberties laid down in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights—separation of church and state; due process; protection from arbitrary arrest, search and seizure; the right to trial by jury; protection from cruel and unusual punishment; the right to vote.”
“He was corrupt and made no bones about his corruption, proudly voting to remove limits on corporate bribes in elections and flaunting his private outings with Vice President Dick Cheney while the latter was a party in a case before the court. He was a bully, making a practice of baiting and harassing lawyers who came before him.”

CASOMB’s manipulative emphasis on the Static-99/R and proposal for “…increased funding into improved actuarial assessments…” is a diversion tactic from the most important fact: there is NO EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE SHOWING SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION PREVENTING RECIDIVISM. In fact, evidence show Megan’s Law perversely causing recidivism. You see, CASOMB would never work to eliminate the registry (let alone even study its effectiveness). Most CASOMB board members — namely prosecutors (O’Malley, Neeley), CDCR, probation, police, and one business owner (Tobin) — consist of corrupt power players who have built their career and reputation in selling the Megan’s Law scam. In fact, former Chief Probation Officer Jerry Powers — who was on CASOMB — recently resigned due to misconduct. Just one example of the type of corrupt people entrusted in determining public policy. In sum, CASOMB aims to maintain the registry — as elimination of the registry would deem the CA “Sex Offender” Management Board moot.
WHERE TO GET STACTIC-99R:
My conviction was for a single count misdemeano, possession of CP, in 2004.
Because of this lower level of offence/conviction, and my
not being placed on the Megan’s Law website, I always assumed that I was automatically classified, as a mechanism of law,
as a low risk offender. Is that so?
As I’m going for my Certificate of Rehabilitation, I would like to be able to use that to present to the court to counter the DA’s pat assertion that I am a still a danger to the public.
If I cannot use that, where can I be evaluated, by an unbiased source (the Orange County Probation Department not falling under that category) that the court would accept, using the static-99?
The other evening I was out with a group of friends. Two of them just turned 21 so we were at B.J.’s celebrating. These are friends I made at the college after my conviction. Their ages range from 20-25. I’m the oldest at 40. They always invite me to the mall to go shopping, we go to parties, the beach, and we’ve also been to amusement parks. This group of friends is mostly comprised of women. I’ve known most of them for over two years. I was still wearing my GPS when I met some of them.
Half way through dinner some of the girls start talking about a sex offender in one of our classes. The girls always talk about certain guys giving them the creeps. Those guys are never invited into our circle of friends at school or to our outside functions. Obviously, most of my new friends don’t know about my 290 status. But one of the girls does. I mentioned in another post that she was cool about it. She confides in me when she has issues. On the surface it seems like we’re good friends.
Anyways… this other registrant in the program I’m in at the college does behave in a manner that would raise red flags. At dinner the girls looked him up on the Megan’s Law website. They start passing around the phone and commenting. I feel bad for the guy. Obviously I’m not going to say anything to him. I don’t want to blow my cover, although if anyone searches my name my case pops because it was covered by all the L.A. news stations.
So the plan is to keep going about my business. Many times I want to share my past with my friends. I plan to share my past after I get my certificate and associates in paralegal studies. But the women I hang out with are in an arts program. I don’t want to specify if it’s fine arts or performing arts. But I figure if they want to hang out then I should keep spending time with them. My friend who knows about my status says the person she read about in the news is not the person she knows. I hope my other friends will be just as understanding and open minded.
Should I bring it up to my “new” friends when I graduate this spring? Or should I just cross that bridge when someone eventually asks me about it?
So, Obama is planning a trip to Cuba, and one of his hypocritical phrases is: “America will always stand for Human Rights around the World”. Well, maybe around the world, but not in his own country. We all know that. What a bunch of hypocritical BS.
Never give up !!
Read this awesome story about a blind women fighting to get her son off the Registry list.. and SHE DID !!
I am in need of legal counsel.
I have multiple injuries to different parts of my body that creates mobility issues at times, I went to a new “pain management” clinic today to try to get my issues more under control and was denied treatment due to my background, specifically the prescription of opiates because “I might use them to drug somebody”, this is the second time I have been denied by a pain management clinic though the first worded it differently, but this one clearly wanted me to “know” that he thought that that was all I was there for was a new tool to go out and rape someone because I’m a registrant. I go through a huge hassle every month to get the pain meds I get now because my primary doctor does not like to deal with pain meds (or maybe its because of my past).
I am through with people harassing us because of what they think we “might” do.
http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/27/us/connecticut-high-school-sexting-ring/
As this happens to more and more (to high school and middle school kids) I’m hoping it will help the general population (realize that not everyone arrested and/or convicted for CP is a monster, a predator, etc. Hope they also start to realize that not all CP involves “abuse” or “victims” for that matter.
They talk about states coming up with special “sexting” laws to give breaks to silly kids that partake in CP. Slap on the wrist for the 16 or 17yo that makes a video that they send to their BF/GF. Within minutes dozens of other minors have this CP. Maybe one of those kids has a friend that is 18 or 19 and he/she ends up with some of that CP. He goes to jail or prison or several years. Seems fair to me.
Put down your pitch forks people (fellow parents, neighbors, church members, etc) and take a look at what is on your teens phones before judging or forsaking anyone arrested for CP.
Here is a great article on the registries with stats and lots of really current info.
Great Informative Article
Obama proved he is a liar and said a bunch of B.S. just to get elected. He could care less about this country. He only cares about himself. Abother poor example of leadership and U.S. values.
I’m not sure where to ask these questions, so I’m going to post them here.
I’ve found that if I registered my vehicle then I would get pulled over more frequently, so I have since told them that I no longer have a vehicle and that my boss picks me up for work. The rate at which I get pulled over has dropped significantly. That being said, I now find myself looking into living in my van in order to save money by not having to pay rent. I have a job but not a very high paying one because of having to register. (I’ve been told “We don’t hire guys like you” while looking for work). So I’m thinking of having to register as a transient. Do I really have to register my vehicle? What if I don’t register my vehicle and the police catch me sleeping somewhere? Would my vehicle be considered my home as far as them beibg able to look in it? Do I have to tell them where I park or can I just tell them I move around alot but in your county?
These are some questions I have or any advice would also be welcome.
Thanks
I just made another small donation to the cause. Every little bit helps!
I have one question or suggestion. I’d love to see a running monthly tally of donations, if that’s possible. It would be nice to actually be able to see how much we as a whole are donating, and how we are doing month to month. I can’t think of a reason legally why that can’t happen, so I’m sure it’s down to just the work of putting it up.
Thoughts? Thanks!
Last year I wore a dress shirt and tie for my price club membership photo. It’s hard to feel enthused about the photo shoot so I put on my normal “somber” face. Courtesy of the homefacts web site I get the pleasure of seeing what I look like all dressed up. Quickly realized how hard it was to look beyond my expression (similar to what you would see a portrait from the 1800’s) and notice my fancy outfit.
Got me thinking…
Maybe next year I will smile for my photo. Yes…you heard me right…smile. There are a few that do and perhaps this is the way to do it. I feel like there are two choices for the photo shoot…either you go for the classic somber look (which is so overdone) or smile like a crazy person. I feel like the somber look makes it just that much easier to hate us. Way more monster like, dangerous looking. What will they think of a guy that is wearing a dress shirt and tie and smiling ear to ear? Maybe it will make me a little less monster and a little more crazy? Or maybe it will make me a crazy monster? Can it actually hurt?
Alabama is trying to implement a law making it illegal to operate an abortion clinic within 2000 ft of a school. It is falling under the sec offender law. WTF! Is everything that conservative A holes don’t like going to fall under a stupid law. This country is f***ing crazy!
