NV: Attorney General Wants Tougher Lifetime Rules for Sex Offenders

Attorney General Adam Laxalt said Thursday he has requested legislation to allow the state’s parole system to impose additional lifetime conditions on sex offenders.

Assembly Bill 59, drafted by Laxalt’s office, comes because of the McNeill v. State Nevada Supreme Court ruling in which the state Board of Parole Commissioners was found to not have the authority to put certain conditions on sex offenders. Proposed conditions in the legislation include warrantless searches of an offender’s residence and property, curfew requirements and requirements to participate in programs. Full Article

It appears this would apply only to those on parole, right?

Why?

No. This is one very angry man. He is proposing this law because of a homeless offender? The guy is probably homeless as a result of his conviction? So, rather than support those on parole, help them get jobs and move forward, the Attorney General (I had to read this a few times/angry/sounds like Nazi Germany) is proposing the police can enter or search any registered offenders house anytime or anywhere (even if they are off parole or probation)? He is also proposing that you must get permission to work? I’m disturbed by this

it says to impose additional lifetime conditions…crazy..warrantless searches lifetime of restrictions and harassment in the name of public safety????? where’s the danger??? where are the incidences that prompted these laws?? absolutely no justification…..and no one never questions that fact….

Keep it up, you just bring it closer and closer to the point where there can be no more denying that registration IS indeed cruel and unusual punishment, granted those of us who know the truth already know it is.

They have to get tough on crime you know, even if it is imagined crime they can scare up enough interest to impose retro-active punishment and thus augment a registrant’s sentence. It is unconstitutional but when you are dealing with officials who don’t care either way – since they probably have not read the document – it is a win-win situation for those who abuse power and the converse for the registrants who have to endure the shame every time an official wants to pick a fight with registrants, regardless of the status of their original sentence….

I can only assume he is essentially proposing parole for life, because I am sure even he knows that applying these rules to someone who is no longer on parole or probation would never pass the sniff test.

What he is doing is making it so offenders refuse parole or if they DO get parole, the first thing they do after having a pizza is abscond to Iran and join Quds.

man every rc in Nevada needs to serve this guy with that document and then follow thru with it and sue this guy for criminal and monetary liabilities…

He’s going to run for governor, he’d be crazy not to push for picking the low hanging fruit. Spend 5 minutes around this guy, and if he doesn’t creep you out, then there’s something wrong with you. Elected office nepotism at its worst

Wow

The offender, Steve McNeill, was convicted in Las Vegas of not complying with terms set by the board and his parole and probation officer. Terms included a nightly curfew, subjecting to urinalysis, attending counseling, paying fees and having a job.

Having a job you have to be kidding

Wow,
I’ve been on the sidelines here for a few months so as not to jeopardize my
recent efforts to petition the courts.
Looks like the AG is really working on buying votes to become Governor. Being tough
on the SO is still a way to buy votes. It won Cathrine Cortez Masto a her new job.
She plastered the airwaves here prior to the Nov. elections.
I’m sure my petition for relief from Registration here in Nevada had to go across his (Adam Laxalt’s) desk.
And fortunately, both the Judge nor the AG’s office had any objections for my relief.,
providing I had a current psychological evaluation showing I was not a threat to society.
After 12 years in Ca. and another 14 years in NV. without being any sort of threat, you’d think
it should have been a quick and easy deal. It’s expensive and it takes some time to accomplish.
I am still worried about AB579 as well as the newly proposed AB59 here.
Even though my petition for relief has been granted by the State, I can’t let my guard down.
The way these States and the Feds work, I’m genuinely concerned that the next unconstitutional
law will be passed placing me right back in the confines of registration. More ex post facto crap.
More punishment.
The relief I obtained is only good in the State of Nevada. If I move to any other state, it’s back on the list. I still can’t go on a vacation out of the country, and I must comply with other states rules when I visit.
So the battle is not over by any means. What a nightmare…and all because society has been lied to for
so many years.
