A California law that will go into effect in 2021 is set to bring about the most sweeping changes ever to sex offender laws in the state.
SB384 will allow most sex offenders to petition to be removed from the public registries in 10 to 20 years after they are released from prison, as long as they have not committed another serious or violent felony. Full Article
PUBLIC ATTITUDE TOWARDS CALIFORNIA’S NEW LAW TO END LIFETIME SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION – Masters Thesis
I am shocked that this outstanding and positive anti-registration video was co-produced by CASOMB. They seemed like the nemesis that has done everything to oppress and abuse people on the registry. Something is definitely changing and it is very good. Perhaps they are realizing the lifetime punishment model is a total failure and they are shifting public policies to get on board with the changes. But I want to applaud those very intelligent and informed people who spoke on the video. Finally some rationality has entered into this past arena where before only hysteria and vindictiveness have been. Yet, I must say, the second paragraph starts with a false statement. It say the new tiered registry will allow most people on the registry to petition to get off. That is not true. As it stands, most people will be on tier three and will still have a life sentence. Oh, those old attitudes of false narratives are hard to overcome.
Has there been any progress in moving possession of child pornography in 384 to tier one? I recall Janice had said that would be addressed in the future, before the law goes into effect.
Also, does 384 apply to someone who moves to CA from another state where you were convicted? Like moving from Illinois, where all convictions require lifetime registry to CA, where you would only have to be on for 10 years.

I am thinking this is bias because Fresno is a conservative city (source https://www.fresnobee.com/news/politics-government/politics-columns-blogs/political-notebook/article19523367.html)

Great job Eric! Staying positive, focused and having the Governor we now have will certainly play into our favor!
We are talking about state that promised to include dates of convictions on the Megan Website and still haven’t.. And we are expecting this to happen? uh huh….
People need to distribute this list any chance you get, included in it is the video. This is all up-to-date data and proper citations.

I just watched the video! It was really well done! Some of you have made comments regarding Static 99? I was under the impression Static 99 was no longer valid if 10 years have elapsed! As noted, these are all things what should be addressed sooner than later. Well done video
Wow. I know this is over a year old, but I didn’t discover it until tonight. That video is great! Low level offenders have under 1% recidivism rates is in the video; along with having a blanket view on sex offenders is a terrible idea and a waste of resources.
Just wanted to bump this b/c that video was great.
