Fred…Punishment, penalties or even persuading endeavors who can be right in these matters. Sure many can cry foul on biblical grounds or as many say does one size fit all in this registry game. Their are many that didn’t have a chance to go to a jury but were given a plea deal or bargain. or if one may say the lesser of the two evils. Should one look at a plea bargain, or deal as a bribery type of technique.
Man is always gonna have challenges and/or complications when it comes to others wanting to overthrow others whether in this registry ruse or other matters. Many citizens don’t even understand this and conclude that this registry is about raping someone but who is taking advantage of who? Is the registry actually protecting someone in this web of deceit in this cloud hanging over one’s head.
One wonders if able men and women are able to tie their shoes right or is everything a plea deal away or based on merit. Where is the true justice in America or any nation?
Saddles- true justice. Obviously, registries have the preponderance of lawmakers in agreement. Thou state and federal judges, state supreme courts have repeatedly ruled that unconstitutionality flows through it all. The protection of justice for all in the so called balance of power is circumvented by creative writing without true oversight. If, and when, sound actual oversight is implemented by a spark of selfless legislation, only then will hope be restored, lives will change. Throughout history, that spark happens and sends true justice into the light and repairs society. Don’t know how I can ignite that spark, or anyone for that matter. A mind has to shift or we’re all screwed.
Fred to be honest and the others on here. The comment I wrote is about the same as the one I wrote for a comment to FAC only difference is two twists in the post that I presented to ACSOL. While I talk about a merit and yes there is a merit system in America should one say who is actually meriting from this confusing type system.
While everything seems to be on a merit system. Businesses are a merit system, government is a type of merit system, promotions based on merit or a type of advancement but is this type of system right? One does wrong and yes they are branded as some say for life. Even this registry is a branded type system or a merit system if one really studies it. You have the negative and the positive or which is the lesser of the two evils.
Was listening to a preacher on the lesser of the two evils and it even got around to presidency also of Adams and Thomas Jefferson course everyone has a right to vote if they chose to. Even heated debates can get a bit out of balance as much of this registry can also so were does one say as Janice and many more have said enough is enough. Confusion! Yes the registry is that and much more.
I just received the new form from my local office stating that I was tier 2.
I was looking online and it appears that starting January 1, 2022, tier 2 registrants will no longer have their address posted on Megan’s Law, just the zip code and other information.
Can someone verify this? I went through the new legislation but, it’s very hard to make heads and tails of all the legal working. Getting too old for this haha.
From all these online posts and comments from NARSOL, FAC, and many others that advocate for this registry Janice and her team seem to understand a bit more of if this constitutional Justice and law and many of you all do also but much of this registry has gone well beyond constitutional law.

So today I got an alert on my Experian account. So I logged into my account and it was on New Sex Offenders who just registered in my neighborhood. So Not only do we have Michigan BS registry plastering our information everywhere, the home neighbor web groups, etc… now we have credit bureaus sending out alerts to their customers about registrants in their neighborhoods. Experian reasoning for this is so family are aware of dangers in their neighborhoods to keep their families safe. WOW!!!! Where are the ones who are druggies, DUIs, larencies, thefts, etc…. when is enough, enough!!!
I just received my court minutes from my 1994 243.4(a) where I took a plea agreement and right there on the plea registering as a sex offender was not a requirement. Do I have any chance? I was just informed that I was out in tier 3.
Doc or Doctor or whatever. If one stays in fear of this registry they are gonna be in fear. Sure there are three types of pardons.. Simple, absolute, and conditional. I didn’t qualify for any of them. Sure I was given a certificate of my rights back but I sent it back. Sure I’m still on probation.

Doc.. The internet is an entity media of chatters. Sure it is a communication base and no one owns the internet. Sure man invited it. One could say the internet or database is garbage in garbage out. Some stockholders that put their trust in this are like a stock holders holding a roost of pig pens.
If internet can be trusted I am sure many have got scammed up in many ways thru it. One should never put their trust in man’s’ device as it can cause a lot of pain and sorrow. As far as the internet concern some do use it for business purposes but person to person is much better than an impromptu machine or should we all use smoke signals again or even carrier pigeon’s.
Wondering if anyone anywhere has tried to get a conviction based on a STING by LEO? Mine was a 664/288(a) attempted molest of a person under 14 even though no one involved was under 14 years of age. I get Tier 2 in CA with my release date of Feb 2003 which means I have another roughly two years before I can request removal. In the meantime I have gotten a COR but the Judge still required registration. I am wonder if anyone has attacked the STING and won
Thanks
Correction! I knew I couldn’t spell. To beat it all I got an A in spelling. While this registry is a chatter of hodge-podge inflation, it also brings on a type of chattel type of effect a by manipulative ruse of sex. I wouldn’t even know if they use the chattel methods anymore to posses.
While in theory one can call it a database or platform or a type of modus operndi, whatever… but it is the method and principal that many are looking for or how can you screw in a nut if the threads are uneven. Even a mechanic would tell you that. The threads won’t pass thru if the threads are uneven to the nut. Sounds logical in theory.
Prison for failing to “register” an email address?
https://wnbf.com/prison-endicott-sex-offender-fail-register-email/
At what point will judge’s start questioning these fatuous & excessive punishments that only apply to those once convicted of sexual offenses?
F#ck “strict liability”!!
The prosecutor should be required to produce evidence that ALL registered emails are, in fact, used to prevent sexual offenses. Prove that all the submitted email addresses are actually run through some computer system to check them against unsolved sex crimes! Are they checked for illegal communications with minors (if that is, indeed, illegal)?? If all the email addresses of registrants are collected for no real purpose and are not used for any actual screening or crime prevention, then there should be no resulting prosecution for failing to submit information that is never used. Especially if a person’s freedom is in the balance.
How do I go about receiving my Parole records in California? I completed the mandatory Sex Offender treatment and was discharged in two years which is earlier than my required 3 years. I never failed a lie detector test and completed all required curriculum. I have a 243.4(a) which excludes me from the internet and haven’t been on for around 12 years. Now they tell me that I’m tier 3..I cannot be in the internet! This will really impact my family’s life. I need to get this paperwork from Ca parole so I can submit to DOJ. Can someone please tell me what do I need to do? Thank you!
I missed S.C. Chief Justice Beatty’s lifetime on registry ruling. Hopefully, S.C. legislature doesn’t play out of the same rule book as Michigan and actually follows the decision. June 2022 will be here soon . Curious. It could be the igniter we need.
My attempt to reduce my felony to a misdemeanor was denied a few years ago citing the fact that I violated the terms of my probation.
My attorney thinks the only way to reduce it at this point is to find a case law that helps my case. Has anyone had any success with similar circumstances?
The details:
I was convicted in March of 2010 of 311.11a (possession of child porn). They gave me a month to turn myself in to serve my time. Prior to even turning myself into jail my house was raided by probation and they found a porn dvd. My fault, I know. Stupid me. However, I finished my 5 years probation after that and never violated again. I’ve been off probation since 2015 and haven’t had even a speeding ticket.
If someone’s case involved one of these crooked judges, would he or she have grounds for a re-trial?
@Discusted In Michigan. Thou we all need verification in hand, to truly believe a change has gone our way, like getting off paper early, sure sounds good. Sarcasm and disdain is usually as far as certain sheriff’s personnel have gone. I don’t see them outright screwing with you like that. Again, sounds good. Looking forward to your post.
@Rico. That’s a hilarious way to put it. All we can do is wait a day. Either he gets the proof or an excuse.
@Sheldon. Apologises. I mislabelled credit where credit is due. Haven’t heard that saying for a while.
Add Minnesota to the list of States looking to make changes (“improvements” in their view) to its registry burdens. I noticed Patty Wetterling is on the group, which can only work to our favor given the change of heart she’s had about registries. To me this is yet another indicator the tide is turning in our favor.

MI Registry. 2 days prior the MI executive order post, I did sign up for the ACLU’s MI SORA update. I also checked The Oliver Group’s website. It gave great info. All MI registrants must register and comply. It also explained exactly what the new Sora has taken away. I trust those sites completely. We must be diligent prior posting. We owe it to ourselves and everyone here to fact check prior. I suggested before, LE could be posing on this site, spreading misinformation. They could also give us the same, then we pass it. We are all looking for relief and will take any firm of it but deserve more because of the unconstitutionality of the list. I’ll check back tonight , but I’m careful of anything showing up. My limited freedom means too much for me.
@Disgusted. I didn’t want my comment to be an attack. Like you, I only trust a letter from MSP on Sora changes. I watch and listen everywhere, but trust absolutely no one, anywhere with my freedom. Youre probably too pissed to even ask for the paperwork from the LE.
Sometimes “discussions” here seem to get far to spirited to accomplish anything positive for the cause. Perhaps I’m feeling the srainof a 50 yo neighbor of my 30yo son, threatening to do , in other words, great bodily harm to my son. In fking losing sleep and my sht over this. I’m being pushed into using any and all military training. FK. I wot let a bully hurt son. Trying to use relapse prevention. No relief from the registry. On disability, barely have money to survive on. FK face won’t leave my kid alone. LE have been out so many times they are tired of the shit. Trying not to go off the reservation. GDM it. Need a break from somewhere. Oh yeah, shrinks don’t help. Out of 9 only 1 help with quitting alcohol. Have a nice day.
After open heart surgery, suffered from depression.(common). After of trying to push thru it for a year saw a shrink thru henry Ford hospital. I revealed to the shrink I was on he list. Thought shed find out anyways. She ended up putting a memo so any future viewing of my medical files, by any henry ford personnel would see I was on the list. Prior her, u was treated normal. After, I have been treated differently . Sideways remarks, and sometimes refusals to see me for 6 months for serious conditions. (All pre pandemic) I know I have to pay for my crime. But medical care has been different. Their hypocritic oath(spelled correctly) crosses the line. Shame on me for being honest with a shrink. All I can say, is guard that you’re on the registry from every health professional. Prejudice will manifest.
