Good morning everyone and Janice
Hope all is well with all and yours
I have a few questions that hopefully can be answered.
1. I am officially done with the treatment program(waiting for the certification of rehabilitation). Paid restitution in full, have completed over 2 1/2 yrs of formal probation and spoke with a public defender at the court where I was convicted. He saw my case and informed me that he will look into it and do some research in seeing if we can argue the courts for early termination of probation, but informed me that with sex offenses chances are that I will not be granted early termination. I am still waiting for an answer. Is he not telling me something or is the attorney telling me the truth?
&
2. Is there another alternative to this?
Even though iv been off probation for 17 years now i still remember being on felony probation like it was yesterday that shiit was no joke .
i can’t imagine being on parole and having to wear that GPS tracking device for 5 years that’s gotta mentally screw with your head and self-esteem.
Anyone who’s been registered as a sex offender for 10+ years knows Megan’s Law is lifetime probation there is no going free there is no getting on with your life you’ll always be tracked down by law enforcement there’s probably some detective right now going over your file getting ready to do A compliance checks on your residents
Good luck
How about making a national public registry for domestic terrorists. I don’t know too many people that would want a bomb making terrorist living near their kids.
Update, had a hearing today on 4 Motions in the Registry Fee Case (Judicial Review of Administrative Tax Refund Seizure):
1) State’s Motion to Strike Objection: the State wanted to strike an objection I filed to one of their replies in support of the Motion to Dismiss.
2) My Motion to Strike statements of the State made in filings: The State was using verbatim language from my criminal case in this case, that would lead back to me and only me, and they were harping on the victim’s age. Based on the prior Order of the Court allowing me to proceed anonymously (and the same in Doe v. Shurtleff), the affidavit of the victim supporting my case, and the fact those statements did not further their arguments for Dismissal – I moved to Strike.
3) State’s Motion to Dismiss
4) My Motion to Amend Complaint
I won today on both Motions to Strike, and was granted a restraining order against the State, modeling the one already in place in Doe v. Shurtleff, that the State cannot in any way reveal my true identity in this case. Also all filings by the State to date that contain said language will be converted to private documents out of the public view.
The Motion to Dismiss and Motion to Amend went under advisement. Now we wait to see. It’s a 50/50 toss up if the judge decides to exempt me from exhausting administrative remedies for the state constitutional defenses, the federal constitutional defenses are not required to be exhausted.
Another registrant murdered, this time in New Hampshire. A fairly sympathetic portrayal of the victim:
“The sad life and unexplained death of a sex offender”
https://www.unionleader.com/voices/city_matters/the-sad-life-and-unexplained-death-of-a-sex-offender/article_0686c41e-b488-5bbd-901a-902d7c36a76a.html
So I just heard on the radio this afternoon, here in California, (KNX 1070) that a new bill is being presented/introduced in Sacramento which would give most of those convicted, once released and after successful completion of parole/probation, the opportunity to have their entire criminal record actually sealed. The reason stated “it has become just too hard for a convicted criminal to find housing and a good job, with a criminal record holding them down and everyone deserves a second chance.” They stated that almost ALL convictions (yes including murder) would qualify to be sealed, Oh… EXCEPT ANY conviction involving a sex offence. EVEN a NON-VIOLENT sex offence. Because sex offenders do NOT deserve a second chance. But EVERYONE else does. I am going to try to find the bill # and re-post here in case anyone wants to actually read it.
Guess I will ask here again. Will there be a lawsuit challenging the no individual risk assessments in the near future in CA state court like there were in the surrounding states that were winners?
I know many, including RSO’s, are homeless in California as are across the USA (and world). I ran across a video today made by this guy, German in Venice, who migrated to the USA 30 years ago and (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcAmcN0AP0Ee0UjrBFAomkA/videos?view=0&sort=p&flow=grid, who has documented the encampments in and around Venice beach and LA in general.
It is a good reminder that not only are RSO’s affected but so are many others. I do realize there are various reasons why people become homeless, both voluntary and involuntary and this is only a speck of the USA. I also know I, even on community supervision for life, have it much better than many of these folks. I do wonder and it makes me think if they are truly free or at least more free than us.
He has many videos but here are a few pertaining to the homeless (as per his most popular vids).

California homelessness is so bad if A sex offenders wanted to go underground and live off the grid they could easily do it.
Especially if they have really nice car or SUV they could park in any neighborhood in southern California and sleep like a baby Megan’s Law is useless
Good luck
Is anyone familiar with the “rules” of moving to another state after you’ve been granted an expungement and certificate of rehabilitation? My crime was a misdemeanor in CA from years ago. I’ve since received an expungement and a certificate of rehabilitation and no longer have to register.
However, I’ve been advised that if I move to another state, I’ll likely be put on that states sex offender registry. I don’t understand how that can be since I’ve had my crime wiped off my record and am no longer a registrant.
Anyone familiar with this?
Interested Party:
Does II took most pre-2012 registrants off of the registry in Michigan. It’s too soon to know how Does II will be enforced because it isn’t final yet. You should talk to a good attorney in Michigan, provide him with your case file and see how your case fits into this picture.
How do I get a CoR, is this through my old treatment provider? Thanks

On a totally different subject, has anyone tried and been successful or unsuccessful in obtaining an AMATEUR RADIO (Ham Radio) License?
The 2017 version of the application form added the question “Have you ever been convicted of a felony”? If so, you have to send the FCC a complete explanation of the details of the crime, what punishment was given, was the punishment completed, and provide a statement “giving the reasons why the applicant believes that granting of the application would be in the public interest, notwithstanding the actual or alleged misconduct”.
Sounds unlikely to go well, so before I waste a lot of time studying to pass the license test, I’d like to know if anyone has tried.
Seems like everyone is confused. Was the invention of the computer a good idea or how many are going to take the covid shot or who pre-determine’s who’s an offender, even maybe get killed in an accident, or maybe some brain E- act machine of their own making can tell one that or just maybe authorities provoke these temptation’s of Eve with this callous devaluation of human characterization. Should we all call in the national guard or who’s going to court to fight for those caught up in this tangled web of deceit. Seems truth in government is all cover-up and bluff.
One wonders who’s rehiblitates who in this witch hunt of a political game. Guess one is still wondering about a boy named Sue. So were does the bias come into play with much of this sex offender romp or is it playing a new game. When one can’t get a job because he or she is on the registry by those in authority provoking and harassing in all this vain inducement cover-up . Maybe a computer data judge can tell us all about that or where is the love in all this kayos. Wouldn’t it be nice to just click a mouse and get a guilty or not guilty verdict.

As a friend keeps reminding me, every day you let the registry beat you, demoralize you, and cause you pain is a day you won’t ever get back. So move forward. There is life beyond the registry.
So I just found out my county requires an in person by appointment. For this (and all years going forward) DL+ bill or other proof of residence, time cards for any and all jobs even if previously reported, all registration data from DMV for all vehicles. Is this normal/legal? She was clear that the law says DL is enough but they want a bill with my name on it too as per their policy. I can understand requiring info on my work if I changed jobs or work addresses but I havent. I still work at the same place since getting out of prison.
@G4Change Two day’s ago a detective called me on my cell phone to do an address check on me as my property is gated and they can’t get in. He asked if i was home and i told him that I’m not answering any questions and to not ever call me again. He said that he would leave a flyer on my door, and i told him that he is not getting to my door and to just put it in my mail box. He said that he couldn’t do that, so i asked him why, and he said it is a crime for him to go in there without a warrant, even to put a flyer in there. So i told him that i just throw them in the trash anyways so don’t waste your time and hung up on him. He ended up taping it to my gate which i promptly retrieved and threw in the trash.
I believe that they have committed a crime, but you might want to think about the ways that they could screw with you if you have them prosecuted. I might use it to my advantage in some other way, let them know that the video is in the cloud for safe keeping.
@Lake County I never said they did, i was replying to @G4Change’s post about the cops going into his mailbox, and letting him know that the cops told me it’s illegal for them to go into them.
I’m not on paper, and the only thing that i comply with is the statute in my state, and the exact wording of the statute. Anything else is there own internal policies and procedures which i don’t follow or give a crap about.
Just to be clear, anyone not on paper should only comply with the statute as written. Their address checks or compliance checks, or anything else that they want to call it is made up stuff by them that you don’t have to comply with. Don’t let them harass you, interrogate you, or answer any questions that you don’t have to. I should have never given them my phone number when they asked for it to register me during Covid.
This 2019 study out of Utah states that the re-offense rate for sexual offenders is 2% for new sex crimes and 4% for any type of crime. This study was part of the push for SB215 (2021) which will allow “lifetime” offenders off the list after 20-years (while meeting the same conditions for parole/probation termination) through a court petition. While I did not agree with the probation/parole like nature of the registry in Utah under the 2019 – 2021 amendments for removal, it is a move in the right direction. Even the Director of the Utah Sentencing Commission stated that it will take years to educate the legislators on what the registry really is, over the bias and non-empirical opinions.

“Sex offender found dead in suspected homicide at San Quentin State Prison”
For those of us who are “alumni” of San Quentin, it is very easy to imagine this. California is practising criminal indifference – at best – to the rights and safety of “sex offenders” who are locked up in their dungeons.
“Failure to register” = Death

So much bad news this week. I can’t even anymore.
HB2889, passed the Arizona House 51-1 today! If you’re convicted of a child sex crime(sex trafficking, child pornography production/distribution, etc.) you’re going to prison for life. Arizona is ready to put an end to Human Sex Trafficking.
Arizona the state which almost made giving a kid a bath and changing a diaper child molestation. Can we just give Arizona back to Mexico?
I think every state in America should have lifetime imprisonment for anyone with cases involving children and end all this registery BS.
With a life sentence hanging over their head I bet alot of people would think twice before committing crimes against children
Good luck
