I see another one doing what he can for the tough on sex offenders thing, I would love to see what his votes have been while in office. It never fails when you get people who pull this usually don’t bother with anything else unless it goes with they’re political career.

Note it is for Level 3 offenders, not that that is right, at least it is not all registrants.

You had better believe that some CA Legislators are taking note on actions such as this. CA level 3 citizens are in for one heck of a ride..

When you are a politician who wants recognition but you seriously lack innovation, then just form legislation that attacks the current hated minority. You are sure to get a following.
