General Comments April 2018

Someone threw marbles at my house this evening and broke 2 of my windows. Previously my car windshield was broken, my lawn (dead grass) was set on fire and a flaming newspaper was thrown on my porch. Got to love that vigilante list we’re on. Definitely not punishment.

I was wondering if Janice or anyone else could comment a little about what happens to elderly registrants if they are in the hospital on their registration date or otherwise disabled, bed-ridden or in a care facility and they can no longer physically show up to register. surely this is the case with some people. How do they handle it and how do the authorities handle it. If you are in a hospital, confined to bed or otherwise incapacitated, how long before they come for you? And are family members who can’t find a way to transport you also criminally liable for harboring a failure to register person.

I’m wondering how IML will apply to me. I was a RSO in California, but I moved out of the USA in early 2016 before IML was fully implemented. I am now a permanent resident in another country. California had no reporting requirement at the time so my passport is still valid and since I am no longer a RSO, the way I read the law my passport will not be cancelled. I am just wondering how it will work if I ever decide to visit the U. S. in the future. I think I would have to register as a transient if I were in California for example for 5 days. So what if I left California or any other jurisdiction before the time period to register? And how about the 21 day notification that I am leaving for a foreign country? What if I am only visiting for 2 weeks? How can I give 21 days notice, plus I am not a resident of the US anyway? Does any one have experience on that type of situation?

Keep telling them about how much money they’re wasting on the registry and they should abolish it because of money and they will start making us pay for it, probably start at 2 to 500 a day, week, month or whatever, that’s what I think would be the outcome, why not make the pervererts pay for it, I know messed up but it could happen, I know other states make registratents pay for this bs.

Hello Group,

Just wanted to announce that a Federal Lawsuit has been filed in Texas challenging the Registry. There are 7 John Doe’s in this lawsuit. All had probation or prison of some sort, two of the John Doe’s go back to the 70’s and were added to the registry years later. This has been filed two weeks ago. Here is the Case number 3:18-cv-00629-G. Lets hope and pray that this makes it through the first round. We know Texas will do everything in its power to have it dismissed …. but with Colorado, Michigan and Pennsylvania and some previous case law we know we have a good shot. I am one of the John Doe’s… Please pray, if we can get a win out of federal court and we know Texas will appeal to the 5th. Lets knock this out of the ball park.
You want to contact me directly you may. I will check back later this afternoon going for a Easter lunch.

This is grounds of the suit.

Count I: Violation of The Due Process Clause (Stigma Plus)
Count II: Violation of The Due Process Clause (Right to Travel)
Count III: Violation of The Due Process Clause (Work)
Count IV: Violation of The First Amendment
Count V: Violation of The Due Process Clause
(Vagueness, Impossibility and Strict Liability)
Count VI: Violation of The Equal Protection Clause
Count VII: Violation of The Ex Post Facto Clause
Count VIII: Violation of the Eighth Amendment
Count IX: Violation of Double Jeopardy
Count X: Violation of the U.S. Constitution Contracts Clause
Lack of Legal Remedy

I always found this to be interesting because once you have left the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, then where you go and where you stay and what you eat is really not legal information you actually have to provide. They do this to call wherever you are going to alert the police as to your hotel and crap so the abuse can further continue from harassment.

AJ asked me to pass along this Texas case so here it is.

Kind of weak but at least it touches on some good issues. Kind of amazing how all these other cases are coming about now that I have filed mine, I know it is just coincidence and just happens to be occurring at the same time but no one else has challenged all the violations at once as-applied as I have. I really dislike these class action attempts, there is to broad a heterogeneous class of individuals to attack these laws as class actions. Class actions are for facial challenges and there is no way that these laws are going to be shot down on facial challenges since a facial challenge requires that there is no circumstances where the law in question would be constitutional. Very high bar and about the only thing that can get shot down on a facial is for over-broad of vagueness. Other than that, good luck and it just creates bad precedents.

So, I was making my coffee this morning and was thinking, dangerous proposition for me in the morning, and here is my thought.
Of all the laws that have been passed, what is the percentage of SO laws that have been passed in relation to other crimes? If justice is to be equal, why is the law not equal?
I know that this issue was and has been addressed, but looking at it from another angle, I hope you see where I am going.
A lawmaker/politician creating an exorbitant amount of laws against a class of individuals shows, and numbers never lie, how politicians have used us as a class in a “gerrymandering “ way. It’s not republican or democrat or a party gerrymandering per se. But a gerrymandering of legal and law making means.
I have read and followed this group for a few years and I am very grateful for everyone. I do not know where I would be without it. I know I am a stronger person. I have not seen or read a challenge to the registry that includes an argument of this manner. If there is, I would be the first to say”my bad”. Lol.
Anyway, good morning.
