Today California has officially reopened but unfortunately for sex offenders California will remain closed.
Even though the pandemic proved that in person registration is unnecessary Long Beach police department still wants me to come down to the station and register like I’m on probation or parole for something that happened 21 years ago.
When I called to make an appointment the registering officer tryd to schedule my appointment date 5 days after my birthday I said hold on bro isn’t that kinda pushing it he replied you have a 10 day grace period I said yeah 5 days before and 5 days after my birthday i don’t feel comfortable with that date and made him change it to 3 days before my birthday.
At the end of the day It’s up to you to know the sex offender laws in your state this cop was definitely trying to set me up for failure he knows anything could happen that day resulting in me not being able to make it to my appointment.
He knows even if I called the station to reschedule a new appointment at midnight i would be out of compliance and a arrest warrant for FTR would automatically be issued.
Of course my public defender could argue extreme circumstances
Kept me from being able to make it to my appointment but unless I was hospitalized the DA ain’t going for it their gonna want jail time and they wouldn’t hesitate to use the 3strike law to enhance my sentence I’d be looking at 10-15 years in prison all because this cop scheduled my appointment 5 days after my birthday
Good luck 🥶
When it comes to banning individuals from electronic media platforms the people had no complaints about sex offenders being banned. So politicians followed up and encouraged these firms to make it part of company policy. Everyone applauded.

Does anybody know what factors are used to determine your tier level or how they came up with? I am totally shocked that I am a tier 3 lifetime.
SCOTUS question: Just curious, if the question of sex offender registries eventually gets to Chief Justice Roberts’ Supreme Court, is the Chief Justice required to recuse himself since he was an active attorney in the Smith v. Doe case? 🤔
Question about renting an apartment.
Hi everyone — maybe someone here can help me. I’ve been searching for an apartment in Long Beach, CA over the last few months and I can never get passed the criminal background check. I’m fortunate enough to have a good income, amazing credit and an extensive savings but none of these factors seem to help me in the application process.
Have any of you been successful at renting? How do you get around this elephant in the room?? My current living situation is changing and I’m afraid I’m going to be homeless due to this discrimination. So frustrating considering I’m financially sound!

Attorney General Bonta formally launches new Regional Human Trafficking and Sexual Predator Apprehension Teams
California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Friday formally launched new regional Human Trafficking and Sexual Predator Apprehension Teams, or HT/SPAT, within the California Department of Justice and is encouraging law enforcement partners in the state to reach out to the new program.
Progressively stepping up their efforts since last year, the teams — one covering Northern California and another covering Southern California — are now nearly fully staffed and have already taken action across the state to support law enforcement partners in disrupting and dismantling human trafficking and the criminal exploitation of children.

Happy Father’s Day!
In spite of the BS challenges we face, I hope you’re able to spend a wonderful day with your offspring, not just today, but every day.
Hi all, just sent a comment to Newsmax.com to express my concerns about how they are trying to instill fear by using the term “sex offender ” during their coverage of the border crisis. I encourage everyone here to do the same (respectfully). We have to push back against the spread of disinformation because nobody else is going to do it for us. I have been as guilty as anyone of sitting silently on the sidelines but I’m tired and not getting any younger. I recently lost my father to covid and had to put my wife in a nursing home with Alzheimers and am now living alone. I do, however, have 3 children and 3 (so far) grandkids who shouldn’t have to suffer for a crime I committed over a decade ago. Peace be with you.
And here you have it – someone who reached the end of his tolerance for all the BS that Florida puts registrants through:

Okay, Florida, you are bringing this on yourselves! 😡
I can’t figure this out. I’ve read through it and am unsure what it means
https://floridaactioncommittee.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Michigan-Final-Order-06212021.pdf
Of 101 compliance checks conducted, one (1) individual was arrested (that’s less than 1%). But here’s the headline:
https://www.sweetwaternow.com/one-arrested-after-officials-complete-registered-sex-offender-compliance-checks/
So “Compliance Checks” are now conducted as “sweeps”?? Six law enforcement agencies involved to “send a strong message to sex offenders”. Sorry – what exactly was that message? “We need all these otherwise useless LEOs to harrass you law abiding citizens who have already paid your debts to society.”?? Is that the message?? Seems to be!
What a load of BS!! 😡

The Supreme Court’s Latest Union-Busting Decision Goes Far Beyond California Farmworkers
“Any time a regulation allows third parties to “physically invade” property—even for a brief time—it “takes” that property under the Fifth Amendment, the chief justice concluded. As a result, the state must either compensate property owners or else cease its activities.”
And what about compliance checks?
this isnt anything specific to any topic on here but Im looking for help, Does anyone have any opinion or thoughts on this: A non svp registrant underwent SO treatment in the state of PA and was released not successful or unsuccessful but clinically released, has anyone ever heard of anything like this? Also the person is given miniscule time with their own biological children after more than 4 years since sentencing and almost 4 years of SO TREATMENT. I dont know if this is legal or what to think, any comments, opinions or knowledge on these issues would be greatly appreciated!
In the line of comments on knock & talk, a little levity here with my best story on it:
Where I live, a deer was found dead in front of my house on the street one morning because a bobcat had killed it then obviously took a chuck out of it’s rear quarter to munch on later. The bobcat had been seen in the ‘hood previously as have many deer over the years. A regular Wild Kingdom.
Cops were called to investigate the dead deer by a neighbor who thought he was king of the street. 3 officers showed up to do so. One of the officers knocked, I answered through a barely opened front door (temporarily forgetting my ACSOL lessons of not to answer the door), but behind a locked screen door, when the officer asked me: “What do you know about this deer out here?” I replied “It’s dead”. The “Really?!” look in return was priceless but that was all I was giving them and watched them retreat via the common way to approach the front door after trying to look inside via the slim opening I created. They lingered in the area for a bit doing nothing before departing. The deer disappeared eventually. The bobcat has not been seen since.
I am looking for any thoughts, opinions or knowledge on these subjects: non SVP underwent SO treatment for almost 4 years and was “clinically” discharged not successful or unsuccessful. Also not being able to see your own biological children for minimal time after over four years since sentencing. How does this sound to you?
I thought this was all over. I filed my CoR in October 2020. I have a 17b and and an expungement. It was granted. I finally got my letter from the DoJ. I am required to continue to register. WHAT. THE. HELL?!
If I Iive in CA and take a week-long vacation within the state, staying 7 nights in the same accommodations, am I required to notify anyone? If not, is there a number of days away from home you gotta tell The Man?
Thanks!
Sad and pathetic. 😒
It took 10 US Marshals and six Santa Barbara police detectives, all apparently dressed out in their finest regalia 🙄, to conduct 10 compliance checks. Ten……. Really. 🙄
That’s truly pathetic.

US Marshals with nothing better to do …. coming to a town near you! 😒
I need some help I been trying to schedule an appointment for my monthly registration since I’m transit. Been leaving messages all week with temple city sheriff station with no one calling me back. The person who answers the phone just tells me the detective that handles the 290 registration is working another unit and rudely transfers me to leave a voice message or hangs up. They have done this way to many times where I only have a day left to register before I’m in violation of not registering. This whole system is ass backwards you can only register by making an appointment and that’s if there’s only one person that is capable of handling registration so if they aren’t there your shit out of luck and I’m sure they will be quick to slap on handcuffs even though they make it difficult to comply. There has to be an easier way to register I don’t understand why I can’t walk in to register it doesn’t take a college degree to fill out the paperwork or require any special technique or training. All they do is transfer that information into the computer, big wow a trained chimp can do that
