Man our country’s constitutional foundation is really being tested right now on all fronts. No matter what side of the isle you are on politically, after the smoke clears we will see if the founders really created a document that can withstand this political assault. And then you have the other end where the Gov is registering people. Another fundamental assault on the constitution. If it stands that registering people like animals then it is over. It is not yet as the right case and arguments have not been presented to the right court so once again we will see. What a ride and time to be alive.
Divide and concur. That is what the ruling class is attempting to do, and they appear to be doing a good job. Only one side is screaming racist and blatantly dividing the country and trying to shut down any contrary thought or conversation. Just saying.
Bringing our discussion down here…
David, I think you are reading too much into what I said. I am not saying that there arent plenty of things registerable that need not be. There shouldn’t be any registry.
What I am saying is that the public is never going to retreat from anger and hatred of those that committed actual harmful sex crimes against another person. Unlike gays and blacks that the public became educated about and more tollerant of, and at a mid point in that process the courts finally did their job to speed up the process, the actual damaging sex offenders will never get the publics sympathy or understanding. That is the difference.
I like that last aspect “petition.” That is what needs to happen all over the US. If everyone slammed the courts with suit then we would have something happen. When it is just one here or one there unless they are very skilled the courts can just shoot it down and not worry about repercussions really. Just as I think it was the Taylor case where after the original people filed and the case was on its way, everyone in San Diego county on parole filed which forced the court to take notice. I wish that everyone on here would go file in federal court whatever district they are in and use the same claims that I have used. This would make the court take notice, but whatever, I will give it my best as a lone wolf.

Within the past week in So Calif there have been multiple arrests for sexual molestation of children by employees of schools and churches. The news reports stated that full background checks had been made for each of the accused. So the Registry did NOT protect those children but has costs millions of dollars to LE. When will common sense kick in to show that the majority of us on the Registry will never re offend but it is the first time offenders; as we all were once.
I heard this idiot on the news talking about a new gun law in New York and was trying to make the case that SCOTUS should not be interfering in a state’s democratic process and because 8 million plus voted for the law it should stand. Loved the answer the opposition gave him that if that was the case the guy who was claiming this would still be a slave as he was black. Guy had no come back other than “there is no comparison.” Shit too. Might as well get rid of SCOTUS under his logic. The case is going to be huge and is going to set the stage about how the court may expand the second amendment or cave to the states.
“The request for review came from the New York State Pistol and Rifle Association and a group of gun owners who live in the city. They were challenging the city’s ban on transferring even licensed, unloaded guns anywhere outside the city limits – including to a weekend home or shooting range for target practice – restrictions they describe as “draconian.” After the lower courts rejected their challenge and upheld the restrictions, the NYSPRA and gun owners went to the Supreme Court.”
The case is New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. New York. https://www.scotusblog.com/2019/01/justices-to-review-new-york-gun-rights-case/
Since my release from probation, I have sought out a decent Phsycologist to talk to. After much searching, I found one. They spent three sessions and told me I had suffered through all the childhood trauma that perpetuated BPD. This was exasperated by my military service. Then suffered a loss of loved one that finalized what ended up being a bad choice (CP). I literally can go down the symptoms of BPD from adolescence to adulthood and associate with ALL of them!
The down side is that while meds can address (maybe) the resulting emotional effects (depression, anxiety, mood swings, self harm), the underlining causes:
Sexual abuse by mother
Physical abuse by stepfather
Abandonment by biological father
Isolation by frequent relocation ( 7 schools in 5 yrs )
Did enough damage early that the doctor said that my offense could be almost expected.
Now, why isn’t this type of professional information taken into account when addressing this by the court.
My lawyer got me into counseling immediately after my arrest, but nothing was said about possible “issues” .
It wasn’t until I spent my own money was I able to get answers. This re-affirms that court approved counseling is there for the money, not the patient.
I don’t blame my parent(s) for my offense, but I also don’t interact with them in any way, because all of them refuse to acknowledge any take responsibility for their actions.
I post this because so many of us have experienced these types of things during our lives. I live with suicidal thoughts everyday, and fully expect to end my life at some point, though I don’t plan it. I am at ease with my decision, whatever it ends up being, mainly because I have used Buddhism to break with my attachments and understand impermanence. I have devoted my entire life to helping others( another symptom of BPD!)
The registry is now just an inconvenience to me. Yes, It has destroyed opportunities, relationships, and future plans. But I now just accept whatever is or will happen. The one thing I can say is that I have the ability to remove myself from all of this when I feel I am ready to.
Thx for reading
Just went and got my annual Texas drivers license. They make registrants get them once a year in person. My visit to the sheriff’s office for my registration in march which will mark my 25th year since my conviction and 27th year since my offence. It still feels just as oppressive, still unjust, shameful, painful, and like a second-class citizenship where my own country hates me and wishes I would die. I remember back when I was in group, and one guy committed suicide, and one of the probation officers joked that it was a “successful completion of probation” , and the other POs laughed. That was my treatment service provider that reported that to us, and he was really pissed off about it.
The thing is that God sees this stuff. God knows what these people have done, and are continuing to do. That is why we leave vengeance to Him. We can have peace knowing that one day he will judge all of this. Hopefully I won’t face the rest of my life in this situation, but if I do, I know He will see me through.
Kamala Harris, Carceral Feminist Extraordinaire and Self-Proclaimed Sex-Crimes Vigilante! In case you’re on the fence about this former sex crimes prosecutor, take a look at the following excerpts from her career. I will add that she is, in my opinion, un-electable in the U.S. as a social justice warrior whom the Democrats would be very foolish to nominate. These are just a few noteworthy insights into the mind and machinations of Kamala Harris, a current Democratic favorite for President:
“In 2006, she supported Proposition 83, a California version of a Florida law known as “Jessica’s Law,” that prohibited convicted sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of parks and schools.” //// https://www.counterpunch.org/2018/06/15/why-do-establishment-feminists-hate-sex-workers/

“Bill to ban social networking for sex offenders”
“San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris, who is sponsoring the measure, acknowledged that the proposed law isn’t a fail-safe measure, but said it will offer a deterrent to sex offenders who do not want to return to jail. Harris, who specialized in child sexual assault cases as a courtroom prosecutor, said it will also create more public awareness around the issue and give law enforcement another tool.
“The carrot is don’t get on these sites, and the stick is we will prosecute you,” said Harris, who is running for state attorney general. “In my experience, these types of predators are a slimy group and they don’t want to go to jail, and what we’re telling them is that if you go online and start chatting with my 12-year-old niece, you’re going to jail.”” ////

The agreement between the Attorney General and online dating providers eHarmony, Match.com and Spark Networks (operator of such websites as JDate and ChristianMingle), states that the companies will protect their members through the use of online safety tools, including checking subscribers against national sex offender registries and by providing a rapid abuse reporting system for members.
Providers will continue their efforts to screen members for safety threats, whether financial or physical, using a number of protective tools, including looking for fake profiles and checking sex offender registries to prevent registered sex offenders from using their fee-based services. Any member who is identified as a registered sex offender will not be allowed to use these services. ////

“The Phony Feminism of Kamala Harris”
“In October of 2016, just before she faced voters in her Senate bid, Harris spearheaded the arrest of current and former Backpage executives on charges of pimping and conspiracy, under the (ultimately unsuccessful) theory that providing an open online platform for user-generated content made them responsible for any illegal activity committed by users who connected through the site. Federal law explicitly says otherwise—something Harris certainly knew, as she had petitioned Congress a few years earlier to change the law so that she and other prosecutors could target Backpage (and its deep assets) through state criminal justice systems. What’s more, myriad federal courts have affirmed that prosecutions like the one Harris attempted are illegal.” ////

“13 Trailblazing Facts About Kamala Harris”
“After graduating with her law degree in 1989, Harris soon passed the bar (though she failed the first time). In 1990, she took a job as a prosecutor with Alameda County in northern California. She specialized in child sex abuse trials and domestic violence cases, using her power as a prosecutor against those who hurt the vulnerable. She told The New York Times in 2016, “When I was prosecuting child molestation cases, I will tell you, I was as close to a vigilante as you can get.” “But Harris didn’t just show up for women and children in the courtroom. She helped develop a program with the San Francisco Department of Public Health to help emergency rooms spot evidence of child sexual abuse, and she co-founded the Coalition to End the Exploitation of Kids. She pushed for legislation to strengthen laws on the sexual exploitation of minors, and she worked to get San Francisco its first safe house for children escaping from sex work. Harris used her influence in creative ways to support those facing abuse—and punish those perpetrating it.”

Interesting minute order from the court.
“The Defendant’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings ECF No.37 is vacated from calendar and submitted on the papers.”
So apparently I will not be having a hearing for this motion for judgement on the pleadings. Do not know if this is good or bad, I guess we will see.
Is there a way to find out when local residency enforcement teams are going out and follow them?
I think it would be a good idea to document their actions by :
1.Filming from a distance(perfectly legal)
2.Noting the # of officers used
3.asking the registrant after the check about the nature of their offense, time in residence, time since offense, etc.
4.Duration of time by enforcement team at each residence
We could then bring this information to city counsels, community mtgs. and congressional representatives to show proof of the waste of man hrs, attitude towards the resident, and how law abiding citizens are being harassed by this action.
I think there are activists among the RSO population that would be willing to volunteer time for this. Maybe go as far as having a legal rep or journalist along in case of our harassment.
Any input would be welcome
AJ is exactly right. Just as AJ I suspect the court is just going to cite Tandeske and Juvenile Male and say it is bound. If so then next step is to go the 9th circuit, if not then either to trial or more motions such as a summary judgement that the AG already stated she would file. The real problem is that I am not an attorney and I am a lone wolf with no one else backing me up so the court pretty much believes it can just blow by me and there is not much I can do since like AJ stated, it has precedent and public opinion on its side. What i am really most curious about is how they are going to treat the judicial notice. The AG’s response is the same old it is disputed facts. No way can you consider CDCR recidivism rates as disputed facts. They are scientifically tracked and their methodologies or results are indisputable. Well see I guess.
Yep sure enough. Do not know the reasoning yet as I have not received the actual order, but,
“FINDINGS and RECOMMENDATIONS signed by Magistrate Judge Allison Claire on 1/31/19 RECOMMENDING that 37 Motion for Judgment be Granted and that this case be Closed.”

I really love how the politicians are getting hit hard for shit they did 30-40-50 years ago like this Virginia Gov who wore black face next to a kkk member in his medical school year book. He is being called to step down and has people picketing in front of his house and the whole works. Ha, how do you like it MF. LOVE IT….
So for those interested here is the order on my site now by the MFR attempting to close my case in the lower court. http://mllkeys20112011.wixsite.com/mysite
The first question to come to mind is, Did the court commit reversible judicial error in not taking judicial notice, or even mentioning it, in a decision to grant a dispositive motion for judgement on the pleadings when the court was absolutely supplied with the proper documents and there were no technical errors whatsoever in the request? After all, Fed. R. Evid. 201 (c) (2) states in no uncertain terms that the court, “must take judicial notice if a party requests it and the court is supplied with the necessary information?”
Thanks E as I did not even notice that as I was so pissed off I just closed it out. Thanks for the wish as well my friend I will not stop here I can tell you that. I uploaded the actual Answer to the Complaint as well. Kind of interesting and good to see how the AH responds to each and every paragraph. Albeit with a, “I do not have knowledge so I deny” crap mostly.
Here is going to be my response to that BS.
“As to respect to the Magistrate’s Findings and Recommendations EFC Nos. 46 footnote 1 Plaintiff wishes to remind the Court that under Fed. R. Evid. 201(c)(2) the Court MUST take judicial notice if a party requests it and the court is supplied with the necessary information, at the bare minimum to preserve those adjudicative facts in the record on subsequent proceedings such as appeal. Nowhere in the Fed. R. Evid. does it state that a court can dispense with such requirement because of ANY opinion of the lower court! Nor does the Court cite any authority to do so.”
Once you have been removed from registry, and if your offense was possession of CP. a non contact, non violent crime, is it possible to petition to be removed from the DNA data base?
Question: Let’s say I am in state A, and after 2 years I fulfill my duty to register and I am off registration. I decide to move to state B. Once I become a resident of state B, am I suddently required to register for whatever length is required based on their statute that is most similar to the one I registed under in state A?
In other words, could I face, potentially, lifetime registration in the new state even though I finished my obligation in the state where I came from and where I was convicted? I have tried reading statutes, and it gets a little confusing to me because the definitions can differ from one state to another. An “offender” in one state might be a “violent predator” in another, and perhaps subject to stricter requirements. Sounds like this is not an apples to apples kind of thing. Wondering if anyone has been caught up in this, and challenged it. and what the outcome was. Doesn’t seem right that one state can subject you to register for ANOTHER 10 or 20 or 25 years, or even a lifetime, after you have successfully satisfied the requirements of a state where you lived for as many years.
AJ- Thank you for sharing this.
New York passes Child Victims Act, allowing child sex abuse survivors to sue their abusers
The Child Victims Act will allow child victims to seek prosecution against their abuser until the age of 55 in civil cases, a significant increase from the previous limit of age 23. For criminal cases, victims can seek prosecution until they turn 28. The bill also includes a one-year window during which victims of any age or time limit can come forward to prosecute.

I think it’s important to put our own circumstances into a wider, social context. This article, surprisingly in “Engadget,” by Violet Blue (@violetblue on Twitter), is really terrific. It points out the creepy prudishness that has overtaken the Internet. Critical to this movement has been the tortured redefinitions of language, unquestionable “personal truths,” scientifically untested claims and boundless populist hysteria. “How sex censorship killed the internet we love. Can’t even read it for the articles anymore.” https://www.engadget.com/2019/01/31/sex-censorship-killed-internet-fosta-sesta/
