The California Sex Offender Management Board (CASOMB) discussed two major topics today during its monthly meeting — implementation of the Tiered Registry and continued increases to the number of individuals required to register.
During the meeting, the board members were told that the California Department of Justice (DOJ) will assign all individuals required to register to a tier under the Tiered Registry Law. Information regarding the tier assignments will be sent electronically by DOJ to local law enforcement agencies no later than January 1, 2021. Registrants must request their tier assignment from the local law enforcement agency where they register after that date.
According to one CASOMB member, the County of Los Angeles estimates that at least 1,700 people in that county will petition for removal from the registry on July 1, 2021, the first day petitions can be filed. The board member expressed concern that there may not be adequate resources to review 1,700 petitions within 60 days as required by the Tiered Registry Law.
Due to a strong expression of interest about implementation of the Tiered Registry during today’s meeting, the leader of CASOMB asked CA DOJ to make an expanded formal presentation to the board on this topic in the near future.
Also during the meeting, CASOMB members reported that the number of registrants continues to increase albeit at a slower pace than was reported last month. The total number of people required to register in California is 109,627, an increase of about 250 during the past month. Of that total, there are 79,212 registrants who are in the community, that is, who are not in custody, including 6,772 registrants who are homeless. In addition, it was reported that there are 16,819 registrants who are in violation due to their failure to register.
Another CASOMB member reported that there are a total of 117,479 people in custody in the state of California. In addition, it was reported that there are 6,517 registrants on parole.
Mike R, I used to provide my opinions on this site, but I rarely do now because of the attacks you had on my opinions. Many people will benefit from this new system. I imagine repeat (not all) offenders and those with a high static 99 won’t? Should everyone be affected by others poor choices? As noted, there might/should be updates to the law prior to 2021. My main questions include: 1. How will PC 17B affect my tier status? (I’m battery was reduced and later expunged (PC 17B and PC 1203.4) 2. Will a high static 99 (I’m a 2) affect individuals? (How about someone crime free for 20 years?) 3. Who will be put on the website in 2022? Let’s (some people are tired of the rants/attacks) have an intelligent discussion? Does anyone have both intelligent and valid input?
I forgot to state both Mike R & New. You both seem to have control issues and from what I’ve read, I think it’s best to focus on your own business.
1.700 petition in LA county alone. Damn imagine the whole state of California. It’s cool to read everybody’s speculation on what’s going to happen in 2021 but at the end of the day it’s all just speculation but one thing we know for sure is that they can’t hold us all forever.
Those that qualify for relief from the registry after their 10 year 20-year mark their name goes into a database if you qualify you will probably be notified that you are eligible to petition to be removed and after 60 days of your petition with no response from the courts or the District Attorney’s office you walk.
Anybody who petitions that does not qualify those are the petitions the DA will be contesting If you think about it it’s really not that complicated.
I think everybody can totally understand the frustration of being on the registry for life
The truth is a lot of people who will remain on the registry after this law passes were already labeled a tier 3 so when I read their comments of anger and frustration that 50% of the people on the registry will be removed it just baffles me.
Why should everybody suffer for other people’s crimes and let’s be honest most of the people who are labeled a tier3 or high-risk have done some of the most horrendous things you can imagine and for that reason I think a tier level is very necessary.
Especially as parent or Grand parent I would like to be notified whenever violent or habitual offenders move into my neighborhood but do I need to be notified of a 18 year old senior in high school dating 14 year old freshman 23 years ago “NO I DONT”
Lol right that is true 😆 we solved it in just sick of everytime I get on here he always says well I do this and I do that you know what I mean
@RM with regards to statistics on real estate values- I have not researched at all. My point was in response to AERO1
“Especially as parent or Grand parent I would like to be notified whenever violent or habitual offenders move into my neighborhood…”
My opinion is that the registry is now politically and $ driven using fear as a tool to pump the idiot masses. Hearing individuals on this site speak to the benefits of the registry is strange given the information available to us; as well as the experience of being on it.
The Tiered Registry has no purpose whatsoever, and I think we only agreed to it because it will give some relief from an otherwise lifetime registry. In my opinion, if there was such a heinous crime that deserves lifetime, maybe that crime should have been punished by life in prison. If someone served time and gets released, they should not be considered a threat any longer, otherwise they would have not been released to society. In any case, if this new law wants certain offenses to be put into Tier 3, do it from now on but not retroactive. This way, those who still commit crimes that will land them in Tier 3 were forewarned, and they may deserve it? However, those who are not currently on the public site should stay that way.

Why do you guys even argue with a select few? They are Tier 3’s! What’s that tell you? Look at the source? Who cares what they think or anyone else. This blog allows people to vent and express their views. We have a few select individuals who live on this site and try to portray themselves as all mighty. Tier 3? How did they get there? It’s almost comical. I log on once a day? Week? Look at the source. Who cares what they think! It doesn’t matter.
“Why do you guys even argue with a select few? They are Tier 3’s! What’s that tell you?”
Yeah we are looking at the source, it is someone who thinks just like the general public with the tiered registry and projects his belief that the registry is the only thing keeping him from re-offending so it must work. He makes my point exactly. This MFKER that skates on a on-hands violent offense wants to claim others that never had any contact with anyone else deserve to be in tier 3, or that he is somehow better than those that are going to be put in tier 3. And I have not been on here for weeks hardly at all stupid and only to come on here and find you still bashing on my character the first post I read from you. You are pathetic and if anyone deserves and needs to be on a registry it is you, self-proclaimed violent offender that claims the registry is the only thing that keeps you from re-offending. Even Will Allen would have to admit someone that makes those claims needs to be monitored in some way, maybe not a registry but somehow. Scary part is this guy will probably get relief from this joke of a new registry just as he worked the system to get his violent felonies reduced even though he never did time and definitely has not self rehabilitated as many others have.
“As long as we stay fractured and point the finger such as “I’m not as bad as them, I’m in a lower tier, please like me”
There is only one individual on here that seems to want to fracture everyone and makes outrageous unfounded claims about others like he did here. He must work for the state or one of these crazy ass politicians or something the way he states things or acts. Or he is just what he appears to be, a whacked out self-proclaimed predator (and I never attached a designation like that to anyone, he stated it about himself way back for those that do not know) that pretty much claims he will re-offend as soon as he is comfortably off the registry. The tiering is not only completely unfair and BS, it proves my point that it is dangerous since somebody with a self-proclaimed proclivity to re-offend may get off the registry because there are no risk assessments or any attempt to weed out those that are truly dangerous like him.
Everyone else had perfectly civil and intelligent dialog in this post even though they disagreed. But guess what, not USA. He had to jump in with his normal character attacks as usual and now he will have to go lick his wounds after he gets everything he has coming to him from respectful individuals on here before he comes back and spouts off at the mouth again.
Try coming back with some facts like I did about your statements and not just some pulled out of the air BS about some made up offenses others never committed and how much better you are than others. That could not be farther from the truth pal, you are definitely someone I would NEVER want to know or even meet, unless it was in a back ally somewhere for sure (and I am not a violent person, but some people just deserve to get the shit kicked out of them sometimes. Just like many would say I needed for what I did, at least I did my time, paid my price and learned my lesson, and did not skate through the system on violent felonies, learned nothing and claims he will re-offend if not for the registry-I just cannot let that go)
I will just concur, look at the source and what was stated about tier 3s, “Why do you guys even argue with a select few? They are Tier 3’s! What’s that tell you?.” This exactly proves my point about the new tiered system. Someone claimed it was pure speculation, well is what he stated pure speculation, because that is the reality of it people. Scary dangerous like I stated as well since people who claim the registry is the only keeping them from re-offending with violent felonies may get relief while those that never touched or had physical contact with anyone will get the full wrath of this corrupt legislature and corrupt system.. I will say it again, thank you everyone that supports a tiered registry that does not use any actual risk assessments before placing people in their designated tiers while putting thousands of those whom have EARNED their way off the registry back on..
Hey friends,
I know it’s tough out there in Cali. I feel your frustrations. I’m one of those folks that would likely be a tier 3 because of my felony cp offense. I caught my conviction in Wisconsin, an thought about moving home back home to California after being away for decades but there’s really nothing there for many anymore. But If I had caught cp case in Cali, I wouldn’t have done a 3 year mandatory minimun prison sentence like I did in this cesspool of Wisconsin. In fact, being a first time offender and not being involved in file sharing or distribution, most likely I would have been charged with a misdemeanor in the Goden State. I know can’t rewrite the past, folks, but I can try and make the remainder of my life better. Wisconsin is so messed up that they consider more than one count (picture) of cp possession as a repeat offense, therefore they put me and other offenders (with more than one count) on lifetime gps even AFTER supervision.
But not to worry folks. When I get off supervision in two years, I’m leaving this shithole state of Wisconsin and heading for Massachusetts where their courts have long decided that cp possession is not a “child sex crime.” It’s considered just a sex crime and ALL first time cp possession offenders are automatically put under tier 1 (non public information only available to law enforcement) The Mass registry only lists tier 2 and 3 offenders. Plus in 2015, The Mass court banned towns from passing presence and residency ordinances plus the state has a ban the box law. I don’t see any of this stuff being overturned because Mass has long been (since Kennedy) a liberal democratic state and that’s very unlikely to change in the future. Even the current GOP governor won’t touch this issue again. The high court made their decision.
The only area I’ll probably get jammed up (And I’ve brought up this before on this forum) is I’ll be listed for life on the Wisconsin registry (yes they never remove you just like in Florida) which makes it easy for victim’s rights industry folks like family watchdog and city-data to get a hold of my Wisconsin info and put it on their site. I actually can see family watchdog doing this to registrants in the town in Mass I’m planning on moving too. Although those tier 1 registrants aren’t listed on the Mass state site, family watchdog has them listed as “unmappable” by zipcode and they all have out of state offenses. And guess where 90% of those folks caught their offenses? Florida!
Now obviously these poor saps updated their address with Florida. I plan to only register in the state I’m required to register because I don’t want Wisconsin or any other looky lous knowing what town or zipcode I live in. Now it’s debatable if I’d get in trouble with my soon to be former state of Wisconsin, however I don’t plan on setting foot in this landfill again…it will always remain a fly over state for me. I want to enjoy my retirement in peace but I will say this. No matter if I’m tier 1, not listed or not on the registry anymore, I will always have love for my fellow brothers and sisters in the registry struggle. Peace
Used to be all bad crap when you Googled CA sex offender registry. Try it now, everything is praising this new BS bill that is a complete lie. It is not risk based in any form as they all claim, it is BS offense based regardless of any other factors except their BS static 99 crap that only increases the likely hood that those that pose zero risk will be treated as those that are fresh out of prison or habitual offenders.
Are you okay, I’ve just read 4 book long responses to my opinion? I truly suggest some of you try joining a support group or getting counseling. Some of the things I’ve read are over the top. I think it’s great to provide an opinion, but some of you take it to an unhealthy level. Peace out. See u next week. I’m busy
Yep, next week when you come back with some lame ass character jabs when someone has different opinions than you because you have no facts and you believe just as the enemy does for some reason, but will not come out and say it. Oh wait, I think you did state it perfectly with the tier 3 remarks and your support of the registries.
And just for reference on civil discourse USA, look at Bill and My discussion. No personal attacks and civil discourse even though we disagree. That is not what you do, you attack personal character when you are faced with facts that shatter your opinions.
Hilarious. Someone posts a view and a few select few respond 4 times with multiple paragraphs? I love writing comments. I think it’s hilarious how a few select few enjoy correcting others? Attacking others? Yet, if they where so bright, why are they tier 3? How many arrests? Impulse control? Responding 2? 3? 4 times to one simple, honest and accurate comment isn’t normal. It’s poor impulse control. There should be 30-40 different responders per blog/topic, but it remains the same. We have 3-4 Tier 3 know it alls who attack, justify and coerce others to believe in what they believe? Sad. I think and firmly believe the tier system is a miracle. It’s not perfect, but it’s not 2021 and changes will occur. If anyone (the registration isn’t going away) disagrees and is completely opposed to it, that means they are tier 3 or they have a long history of committing crimes! Bottom line. Final! Go ahead and write 3? 4? Responses with multiple paragraphs! Your comments (I don’t read this jailhouse attorney want to be) stuff any longer. I count the paragraphs and move on. Check back in next Wednesday. I feel sorry for you select few. This could be such a great blog. Be miserable
Whatever, everyone knows you… Supporter of the registries and claims it is the only thing keeping him from re-offending. Your words not mine…. Not smart enough to know civil discourse from character attacks.
If you went to prison, you are an automatic Tier. 3! I doubt you can expunge your offense and you can’t reduce it to a misdemeanor! Screwed!
TMZ ~ What makes you think that all people who went to prison are an automatic Tier 3? I don’t believe that this can be true.
Apparently TMZ, MOT did it and we have no reason not to believe him. After all, he is not USA… LMAO…. Anyways MOT I will check it out for what it is worth. The real problem here is the 288.2 that they threw onto my charges after I decided to fight the 664/228(a) that is putting me and in tier 3. It appears that if you used the internet an anyway you are tier 3. So people with actual hands on offenses-USA- are getting relief while those that never met or had any physical contact with anyone are getting put in tier 3 as well as will be labeled violent offenders according to this bill or proposition or whatever the hell you want to call it, that is sure to pass. Next we will all be evaluated for SVP status, just a prediction. After all you know the state wants to expand the civil commitment that is based on lies and propaganda and which the actual evidence that supports not having civil commitment has been conveniently squashed by the state employees throughout the history of the program.
I will check it out any way thought MOT, appreciate the heads-up on this.
It’s very obvious how some posters are opportunist. They prey on those who are weak? Or, they typically minimize their behavior, often portraying themselves as the victim? It’s everyone else’s fault but their own. Your last comment Mike R, confirms what most of us already know. You clearly have all of the characteristics. I honestly feel sorry for you.
My bad, I was going lay off USA. After all, it is no contest and isn’t fair of me to challenge or criticize a feeble mind.
I see USA is back to his/her/she/he/it usual ways of judging everyone else. I’m going back to my qaurentini.
