I found this section of the penal code in sections 236.1 very interesting…
(3) “Deprivation or violation of the personal liberty of another” includes substantial and sustained restriction of another’s liberty accomplished through force, fear, fraud, deceit, coercion, violence, duress, menace, or threat of unlawful injury to the victim or to another person, under circumstances where the person receiving or apprehending the threat reasonably believes that it is likely that the person making the threat would carry it out. – See more at: http://codes.findlaw.com/ca/penal-code/pen-sect-236-1.html#sthash.3qRMydtK.dpuf

A police officer was killed today in Whittier Ca, by a noted gang banger who was just released last week. Before slaying the officer with an assault rifle, he murdered his cousin hours before. Here we have situations like this were people are being killed and most communities want to focuse and waste energy and $ about having our faces and addresses on the the web for the sake of protecting little Johnny. What the heck is wrong with soceity today?!! I’m sooo sick of this. 22 years of struggling on this damn registry with no offenses what so ever there after and that’s not enough to convince these idiots that I’m not a threat or danger to ANYONE. Why are they so blind to the facts that has been proven over and over again regarding registrants reoffending. How do these politicians sleep at night!
Stupid question.
Let’s say I’m done with California registration after ten years. Then, I move to a different state. Do I have to register there?
Had my membership renewal this AM in the Valley. Very pleasant exchanges they actually knew about the tiered proposal as they had a meeting about it. They were pleased it was happening.
For Rob: The phone number for registration at Van Nuys is 818-374-9675
This is from Putnam County, Florida where they’ve just created a full-time “Sex Offender Compliance Specialist:”
“The county says the specialist “will work in conjunction with the current offender compliance program as a means of providing critical intelligence for investigators by assessing risk-related changes in offender’s behavior.”
“We refuse to allow Putnam County to become a safe haven for sexual offenders and predators,” said Gator Deloach, who was elected Sheriff in Nov. 2016. “While we can’t control in which county they choose to live, we can certainly make Putnam County as inhospitable as possible for them.” ”
THAT quote should be in a lawsuit filed against Putnam County and “Gator” Deloach.
Thanks to WAR @WomenAgainstReg for that Twitter link.

Here is another good article on NPR about RSOs in North Carolina.

I am frequently annoyed by the thought “How is one to know?” Legislatures seem to come up with new and often retroactive laws all the time regarding RCs. If they passed a law that bans us from riding bicycles, we would only be informed of the new law when we are arrested while out for a bike ride. Isn’t there anything in the legal system that requires affected parties to receive sufficient notification of laws that might affect them?
