This is a copy and paste from last month and I’m curious for a logical answer. Any help?
[Today] I registered with the college campus police for the upcoming semester, as I have since attending. Like last semester, I was informed that if a car was driven to the school, they would need a copy of car registration and proof of insurance. Anyone else heard of this? Are sex offenders also bad drivers? I take the bus so I chose to keep my mouth shut and not bother asking, but I am very curious why this is a thing. I really would like to know why this is information that campus police needs to know, only from sex offenders. I’m in north San Bernardino County, off paper for quite awhile.
San Bernardino is one awful county! Sorry you have to be subjected to that kind of treatment 🙁
@The Unforgiven,
Each campus is different in requirements. So you abide what they want. As a registrant, I’ve had to register at two different colleges. Each one had different stances, but neither asked for car registration. Although, they did require your 290 paperwork you do annually. On there is your car info.
BTW, this is an additional in-person reporting along with your annual in-person reporting.
CA 1203.4 Case Dismissal Stuff/ideas
So I keep going back to the CA Constitution and sometimes I find new stuff. I found another Ca Constitutional law that might help with 1203.4 people.
Refresher on what 1203.4 is supposed to give to someone who earns it, the “court shall”:
1) Conviction set aside
2) Accusation or information is dismissed
3) Release defendant from all penalties and disabilities
1203.4 is an immunity contract that is only provided for those who qualify for the immunity program. This is a contract. 1203.4 program was enacted in 1872.
The CA registry today is a form of information that states you have a conviction and that conviction was due to a sexual offense. If you are on the registry, then you must abide by several mandatory restrictions and compulsory obligations, such as annual in-person reporting, self in-person reporting at a college or university, move to a new residence, acquire a new vehicle, as well as get a new job, to name a few compulsory obligations.
PC 290.007
Link: https://law.justia.com/codes/california/2011/pen/part-1/290-294/290.007/
==========
Any person required to register pursuant to any provision of the Act shall register in accordance with the Act, regardless of whether the person s conviction has been dismissed pursuant to Section 1203.4, unless the person obtains a certificate of rehabilitation and is entitled to relief from registration pursuant to Section 290.5.
(Added by Stats. 2007, Ch. 579, Sec. 15. Effective October 13, 2007.)
==========
We have two laws that conflict with each other. 1203.4 is an immunity program contract. PC290.007 negates part of that immunity only for sex offenders (registrants).
Now, let’s look at the CA Constitution.
Link: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?lawCode=CONS&division=&title=&part=&chapter=&article=I
Art 1, Sec 1. Inalienable right to pursue and obtain privacy.
Art 1, Sec 7b. “A citizen or class of citizens may not be granted privileges or immunities not granted on the same terms to all citizens. Privileges or immunities granted by the Legislature may be altered or revoked.”
Art 1, Sec 9. “A bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts may not be passed.
(Sec. 9 added Nov. 5, 1974, by Prop. 7. Res.Ch. 90, 1974.)”
————-
PC 290.007 denies the right to pursue and obtain privacy. (A person who qualifies for 1203.4 is told that avenue does not exists even though 1203.4 specifically states a legal avenue exists and the courts shall set aside the conviction AND dismiss accusation or information against the defendant.)
PC 290.007 denies immunity granted to a small population who qualify for 1203.4 relief/immunities. (While the laws can be changed, they cannot exclude who receives those immunities that qualify for the immunity.)
PC 290.007 is a law that impairs the obligation of the contract made by the state of California with 1203.4 immunities that the courts “shall” enact.
1203.4 contract was created 135 years before PC 290.007 was created. PC 290.007 is a new law compared to 1203.4 contract enacted in 1872 and PC 290.007 clearly impairs the contractual obligations set forth in 1203.4 contract. Thus, a violation of CA Constitution, Article 1, Section 9. But PC 290.007 also violates CA Const. Art 1, Sec 1 and CA Const, Art 1, Sec 7b.
So any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance for the response(s).
Are you a RSO and tired of living under the registry? Would you like to have a permanent residency abroad where you are free to travel without restrictions, if so I can help you. (when you relocate from the US, you do not fall under any parts of Megan’s Law that means you don’t have to register and you don’t get a marked passport). It is necessary to give 21 days notice before leaving US. I live in Europe and I can help you obtain residency in various countries even with a criminal record. Payment only when residency established. This opportunity is only for those that can afford to support themselves outside of the US and are not on probation.

“Police officers’ names disappear from Maryland court case search database” (http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/bs-md-ci-officers-names-case-search-20180301-story.html)
*****
The requests come from their concerns about the safety of officers, he said. They worried criminals might be able to use full names from Case Search as a clue to locate where an officer lives.
That hasn’t happened during the past two years when the full names were listed, but they say it’s a precautionary measure.
“Waiting until something happens would be terribly irresponsible,” Atkinson said. “What could happen could be pretty dire, and we have a responsibility to protect our protectors.”
*****
Oh I see, so the availability of information that is already public record doesn’t apply to LEOs. Got it. And their concern of being targeted is a valid one, but mine isn’t. Got it. Nothing has happened to any LEOs but they get protected; RCs have been attacked, but get no protection. Got it.
Just a monthly check-in. Anyone travel to Germany, Austria or The Netherlands at all? Just looking for some info since I’ll be able to travel relatively soon. Also, any movement on IML with regard to the “unique identifier”?
Leta all wait for acsol and NARSOL and others to do what we should do together…then after 100 years or so when many more lives are killed and destroyed we can clap and shout hurray for these organization!!!!! Yep that’s the answer ! When good people come together evil does not have its way…..Coming together, does not mean playing pity patty for decades ! Censorship of ex RCs and having closed or severely limited debates and not allowing ex offenders to participate in events, because these organizations want to run things their way will not work ! We neeeeed more soldiers and different weapons and intelligence to gain the advantage! Let’s talk who has an open door policy and good contacts ! We need political ally’s to open doors of more personal and private to do Greater things with this WAR OK ! HELLOOO!
⛥⛥ Everyone, please do this. It’s easy!: Pepare for yourself some standard responses to news articles. EMail those responses to yourself. When you read a news article about offenders or Registries, you can simply retrieve your standard response from your email and cut-n-paste it into the “Comments Section” for that news article. Easy to do, no hassles, and your comments are already prepared and ready-to-go.
This is important. We need to consistently fight back against the uninformed public attitude by providing solid arguments, fact, and information. Don’t let the haters and fear-mongers dominate the conversation – especially in the Comments Sections!
If we regularly post our anti-registration comments and includes facts and statistics, eventually the public may start changing their opinions. ⛥⛥
SHARPER FUTURE VIOLATING THEIR OWN TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF TREATMENT
I just discovered in my therapy group (from the counselor themselves) that Sharper Future is no longer implementing their after care program (in which certain individuals are granted a more lenient treatment program that requires them to check in once a month individually instead of weekly with a group). People are eligible to request after care when they’ve been in treatment for 18 months and can demonstrate a clear understanding of the curriculum. This is clearly stated in the horrendously inhibiting yet LEGALLY BINDING contract all patients must sign when enrolled in Sharper Future.
Now it has been brought to our attention, since an after care patient was recently arrested, that Sharper Future is revoking after care eligibility from all patients. This revocation violates the contract we were compelled to sign, a contract that is constantly and continually enforced upon all patients under penalty of violating parole and incarceration.
Can a suit (or any other legal action) be brought up to hold Sharper Future accountable for violating their own legally binding contract? Can this instigate some kind of change to the abhorrent practices of parolee “patient treatment?”
Today I had my 1st experience with society’s negative impact of Megan’s Law.
My neighbor, who happens to be a meth addict and has an apartment only because the county pays for it, showed another neighbor that I was a “child molester” because of the megan’s site.
He approached me about it and then said he told her she was crazy and that I was a good guy.
His aformation didn’t help how this made me feel.
3 1/2 yrs out of jail, and never approached, and this basically put my emotional state back to the day I was arrested for 20 CP pix.
I was beginning to feel better about moving forward and that it wasn’t going to be that bad. But to be insulted by a dirtbag meth head is about as bad as it can get.
Great idea. I spend much of my day in Outlook and use custom signatures to save time and be consistent with scheduled, customer-specific messages. For the same purpose, others use Outlook Quick Parts. This will carry over well for my political rants about various issues, especially educating the public about the evils of the registry.
I am curious and not a lawyer.
Could a legal argument be made that the sex offender registry violates freedom of speech? The registry prevents us from obtaining gainful employment; therefore we cannot donate to organizations or politicians whose view we may wish to support.

Just in case anyone wanted to check out the latest on my case. The court clerk sent me a letter today giving me a heads up about a pro se help seminar and pro bono assistance on April 20th at McGeorge School of Law here in Sacramento. Out to be interesting.

(ND) Supreme Court: Sex offender can have Xbox and PlayStation back
http://www.minotdailynews.com/news/local-news/2018/02/supreme-court-sex-offender-can-have-xbox-and-playstation-back/
The court loses sight of what really makes a computer function. The defendant proposed a reasonable solution, while they want to make a point. It is cheaper to replaced a HDD than it is an entire laptop, so destroy the entire thing where taking the personal data off and destroying the HDD would’ve been fine. Be interesting if the personal files are eventually returned. The court seems to have stuck their head in the snowbank on this one.
Question: I am retired and want to travel in the USA by car. Are there states that track RSO by hotel registration? Airplane tickets? Can they find out if you are in their state? I want to drive and stay in AIRBNB and want to know which states, if any, track US when we enter their state and HOW do they do it? I have been in states in excess of their published limits already, eg. NV, HI, AZ
Thanks
Can anyone cite where the court stated that “Smith wasn’t a blank check”? I know I saw it somewhere but i can not seem to locate it.
Never mind, got it.
See also, Does v. Snyder, No. 15-1536 (6th Cir. Aug. 25, 2016) that Michigan’s amendments to its Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA) “imposes punishment” and thus the state violates the US Constitution when applying these SORA provisions retroactively. “Nor should Smith be understood as writing a blank check to states to do whatever they please in this arena.” Id.
Quick question: can this be used in the IML challenge? Seeing as it was passed fraudulently.
Under that law, the Administrative Procedure Act, federal agencies are required to provide a reasoned justification for their policy decisions and offer the public an opportunity to weigh in when they are creating new regulations, making notable changes to existing rules, or scrapping them altogether.
@AJ or anyone who might know, could 290.007 be challenged under the 14th Amendment? This narrowly removes the benefits of California’s 1203.4 “expungement” only for RC’s and no one else.
I am looking for some information in regards to registry in Utah. It appears Some charges are not registrable charges. For example Sex Battery is defined to include a grope charge. It also is considered a misdemeanor and requires (4) counts to be a registrable offense. So if you moved from another state and your charge fits the definition in Utah’s code for Battery or even attempted s Battery (attempt might be even lower) and its 1ct not 4 would you still need to register? I read it as no. Also if you had a registrable charge would you be able to be removed after the 10 year rule even if the state you are coming from doesn’t have that. If Utah didn’t require registration and or you had been removed after 10 years are you still stuck under SORNA to register ?. If you didn’t have to register and or completed the 10 years and moved in the future to yet a different state would you be forced back to register? I am very interested in any feedback.
Thanks
So. Just as my life started to be okay…..
even here out of the country I can’t even try to live a normal life. One of the wife’s friends is a prick who has a crush on her and goOgled my name. Guess what pops up in the number one spot? Homefacts with my current foreign address and picture.
Now he is trying to get me fired from my job and a slew of other shit.
His ex girlfriend who is still his “friend” worked with us for about a month and I was the only friend she had at work, she couldn’t adapt so she quit.
Today she tells me that he is trying to convince her to file sexual harassment charges against me and say that’s the reason why she quit. And that he is trying to convince my wife that she and I are having an affair when we haven’t even shook hands.. Seriously don’t know what his fucking problem is.
So yeah. Guy has some white knight complex. But I’m pretty sure it has to do with him wanting to get with my wife. But the fact that he can just google my name and try to ruin my marriage and career because he hates being friend zoned is fucking ridiculous. Especially when I don’t even live in the goddamned USA
Anyway. That’s the Shiet of my day. Now gotta do damage control of my life again. Tired of this horseshit.
