Yea I dont think the registry will disappear anytime soon. The restrictions (premise, living, online identifers, and the like) will probably disappear sooner than later. There is a decent chance the registry could revert to LE only or only those deemed a threat through rational tests/criteria.

On the subject of the video….I have heard about kids as young as 10 being placed on the registry(which is sick), but a DA actually went after a 6 year old kid and tried to get a conviction because “you can never start too early”. IMO that DA should be removed from office. Talk about dangerous (especially towards children), that DA…wow.
