When Terry Parke, a state representative from Pittsfield, the chief sponsor of the Habitual Child Sex Offender Registration Act, discusses his 1986 bill, he describes it as “one of the most important laws the Legislature would consider that year.”
The law requires habitual child sex offenders to register with police within 30 days of release from prison and remain registered for 10 years.
“We are having an epidemic in Illinois … of sex crimes against our children,” Parke said.
But state Rep. Larry Hicks, a Democrat from Mount Vernon, argues that the registry violates the rights of those convicted of sex crimes.
“It is wrong to tell criminals that once they have been rehabilitated and have served their time, that we’re going to register them and brand them for years to come,” he said.
That first enacted law for sex offender legislation in Illinois went into effect on Aug. 15, 1986. It defined a habitual child sex offender as any person convicted, discharged, or paroled from a correctional facility of a second or subsequent sex offense (attempts included) where the victim was under 18.
Looks a lot like a timeline from 1940s Germany
Seems like those on the registry past, present and future are understanding that its all a devilish scheme. Now when I mentioned the bible on here or maybe it was NARSOL a long time ago everyone had a cow udder blatter problem with it. Doesn’t Government stray from their use or abuse of power not to mention the Commandments or do we all sin?
Its that thin line that divide’s men from those that strive for right judgement. This plea deal or idinity theif is a type of coy in this plea deal. So who’s guilty.. sure I will admit my shame. Sure its just like Shawn said a Germany time line or who is sufficating in all this witch hunt confusion.
Even this plea deal amounts to a mockery of justice in many ways. Sure we all have faults. My dad use to tell me if you can’t say anything good about someone don’t say it at all. So who has the last word on this and these judgement calls of if you plead guilty I’ll talk to the DA and the judge.. that tells one that much of this is just a con game. Sense we are all going into the holidays one should look for better things to come.
On that note I think its time for me to leave as who judges another or cuts out his tongue or should we all learn our abc’s backwards or for that matter constutional law of understanding or who nags without moral understanding. We could take a look at Ali or even Presley and many others that are not even involved in much of this registry but were are they now even that German timeline.
There’s there’s something wrong here. I was convicted in Illinois in 2006 of possession of child porn — 6 online images of an anonymous “child” of 16, according to the grand jury indictment. Pleaded guilty to avoid publicity harmful to my family. I am required to be on the sex offender registry FOR LIFE — this is by statute not a ruling by the judge in my case. I have been offense free ever sense. So what’s this “habitual” law. Doesn’t apply to me, I guess.
Ever notice how everything is an “epidemic” with these people?
Their actual timeline:
Means = Portray children in a perpetual state of danger and harm.
Opportunity = Assuage society with useless laws
Motive = $$$$$ ?
Interesting.
The time line shows just how the legislators continue to pile upon the registry and branding, including banishment, “that once they have been rehabilitated and have served their time.” as per Larry Hicks.
It would great if every state would do a timeline as proof that each additional levy upon criminals who have been “rehabilitated and served their time” without any scientific proof for each additional levy. This would prove a legislative systematic oppression upon one subset of people.
Timeline of laws intended to protect children based on lies and fear shows the real agenda. 1-2 we are coming for registrants. 3-4 the public will ask for more. 5-6 grab your ankles. 7-8 we’re going to screw you more. 9-10 you’ll never have a life again. Yup politicians the gift spreading holiday cheer. What’s the cure? Throw the bums out of office and a cell for corruption along with abuses of power.
During last week’s ACSOL meeting, Chance said something along the line of, “one cannot legislate morality.” It’s infuriating when judicial and legislative decisions that are so riddled with hyperventilating emotions, and not a hint of a logical foundation, are given the seal of approval. But, the only way to counteract that is to continue to battle the legal components; to keep pounding away at what is tantamount to a house of cards; a paper tiger. The amoral individuals whose decisions are designed power-grabs, believe the constant emotional assault will be enough to keep us at bay; but it won’t be. The emotional decision makers loathe to be confronted with facts, because it tears away at the façade they are desperate to maintain. Janice and Dean (ACSOL) have demonstrated what can be accomplished with unyielding tenacity. It’s not easy, but eventually, sustained logic and credibility will unveil the emotional attack for what it is: ignorance. In addressing and undoing what has been legislated, the ugly faces of amorality will be unmasked.
Morality and common sense are useless to politicians. All they care about is the next election and use anything to look good for the public. Not all registrants are a threat to society and have proved it; so how long is someone redeemable. Politicians and the public are lacking critical thinking skills. If a part of a statement is false, the statement is invalid. For example, “ All men are pigs, but you are an exception.” Is an invalid statement. “Majority of the public treat registrants like garbage all due to a conviction that placed them on a registry.” You can prove that with the laws passed and by the number of murders of registrants.
