Legislation that would update and streamline sex offender registration has been signed into law. This week, Governor Mary Fallin signed legislation improving Oklahoma’s sex offender registry. …
“The purpose of the sex offender registry continues to be public safety—to make sure law enforcement knows where registered sex offenders are living, and making that information available to our citizens,” said Griffin, R-Guthrie. “This legislation streamlines the notification process, ensures greater consistency in assigning levels for registration, and adds an additional requirement for informing DHS when a sex offender returns to a home where his or her minor children, step-children or grandchildren live.” Full Article
Another do nothing oh hum law. I suppose that the child beater do not have the same alerts?
“At the end of the day the goal is to protect Oklahoma children and all law-abiding citizens,” said Osburn, R-Edmond.”
WELL… you will never realize that goal with Megan’s law. Ever. But do continue to polish the brass on the Titanic!
“At the end of the day the goal is to protect Oklahoma children and all law-abiding citizens.”
So can someone explain to me how this new law will protect children from being attacked by someone NOT on the registry? (You know, like how nearly all sex crimes are committed)
What I really don’t understand is why tiers are based on conviction. Just to say those convictions in tier 3 will reoffend over the other tiers makes no sense. Just to save the state money to do risk assessment on each individual would be my best guess.
Thank goodness this law will protect the children and all citizens from:
❎ Sexual assault from relatives and known individuals,
❎ Drunk Drivers,
❎ Industrial toxic waste dumping,
❎ Rabies
❎ Food poisoning, and
❎ Mosquito-borne diseases!!
Oh wait, it doesn’t do any of that?? So what does it actually do??
