Do we have any current results for petitions in the LA,OC, Riverside or San Bernadino counties as it has been 4 months ?
Can ACSOL send a cease and desist letter (or something strongly worded) to a Credit Reporting company Experian for their application that shows the picture, name, address, DOB, offense description, height, weight, hair/eye color? There’s an alert email that goes out ever time that the registrant moves into the area, and the application shows the full info. The name, address, and DOB are considered as Personally Identifiable Information and seeing that the company is supposed to protect consumer information it doesn’t make sense. Are they going to help us if our identity is compromised?
…and for those of us on Tier 3, what home improvements are you making for January’s change to address display? My husband’s information is currently not displayed on the registry. Since I was not able to set up the security screen door, I am adding the Ring Door bell next week. Considering locking the credit report to prevent fraud.
You might find this article on elections useful in dealing with the stresses of being on the registry.
Talk about an Andromeda Strain of true justice gone amiss for all in much or all of this registry garbage. Yes this registry is a strain on many involved in this. Now theirs this COVID that has been going around and they say it came from a bat? Guess many miss the point in this blind sighted liberty and justice for all, but who’s betraying who. Who is provoking with this registry. Who is provoking with a Convid shot? Course I’m sure many were never into that space travel garbage stuff. Does one shot take care of it all or boaster shots as a human pin cushion as they say. People will say talk is cheap. So how cheap is true justice today.
Two different Modus Operandi types? So were is true justice even the burden of proof? Guess government can address everything or even order state and local forces to enact for safety measures or should we all take a truth serum pill for carnal behavior, knowledge or how to inact in front of kids as well as adults. So who is doing the acting and who is doing the dramatization or are court and government systems just as guilty.
Not sure it will be any help to those about to face having their addresses made public, but it’s been that way here in Wisconsin for quite a while now. At first I was worried, but in reality it’s not made any difference to our lives. There has been no increase in problems around here for us.
I did install a few surveillance cameras around the property with automatic lights, but the only excitement which has activated the in the years since has been deer and squirrels.
That said, I really don’t like having my information on display. I also don’t like that my usernames and email addresses are listed on the state’s database. It’s only a matter of time till someone is successful with an open records request and gets the information and then makes it public.
Because of that last fear, I do keep our credit reports locked down and am vigilant to use secure passwords and 2-factor authentication with my online accounts.
I never thought i’d be rooting for the conservative justices but they could help us with this SORNA nonsense and eliminate the administrative state. “ The makeup of the Supreme Court is now drastically different from the court that heard Gundy. The conservative justices are eager to knock down the meandering complexities of the administrative state; in their dissent, Justices Roberts, Thomas, and Gorsuch thought Gundy was the case to knock the bureaucratic arm of the government down. Alito, the remaining conservative justice (Kavanaugh did not participate) had the same intention as the other conservatives but agreed with Kagan’s opinion because he did not think Gundy was the case to do so. Our new 6-3 conservative majority, possibly, with another case, could create something deadly to the administrative state and, effectively, the government as we know it today.”
I remember reading that tier 2 address will not be post on the web site starting in jan 2022. Is this true??
This is on google only men do harm
In todays Zoom meeting there was a gentleman who made a comment in regards to how SORNA would not only negatively affect registered citizens, but also their families. If SCOTUS has deemed registering is NOT punitive, then if registered citizens cannot actively participate in their children’s school activities, go to parent teacher conferences, Christmas parades, pick up their child if they are ill, or every parents dream: to watch their son or daughter graduate from high school and get their diploma, then that sounds like our children are also being punished. Our children have done NO WRONG and they have the right to have their parent present to support them and congratulate them. I have also heard that in jurisdictions where they are SORNA compliant, that the children of parents who are registered citizens are often ostracized and become outcast from teachers and their peers, simply because everyone knows their families business. I would strongly think that even proponents of SORNA would agree that punishing unfairly the registrants family members through public notification and whatever else SORNA impliments would be definitely punitive. Simply put, Our family members have done no wrong, they should not be punished for it. This is a major fault with SORNA or anybody that has to register period.Thank You
Janice, I want to thank you for your comment about the LGBT community in regards to posession of ‘illegal imagery’ during the SORNA Regulations meeting. It was the first time I heard anyone speak to my experience as a gay youth in a conservative area, curious and trying to understand my sexuality in the early days of the internet. Too often the discourse around child pornography (now the preferred language is CSAM or child sexual abuse imagery) is monolithic and does not try to understand the motivation of the individuals who sought it out.
Had a sex offender annual compliance check from the Los Angeles Sheriff Department today. Wow, what scumbag PIGS! They came by four times in the past month, but because I was at work during the day, those fu**ing PIGS harassed my roommate each time. Had to put up a Ring doorbell to capture these stupid ass visits and let my roommate know to record all her interactions with her phone each time they came by. Totally inconvenient!!!
Finally, the PIGS had the sense to visit at 9 PM at night, when I was actually home, about ready to get to bed. Again, very inconvenient… especially since I’ve been a fully compliant sex offender for about 10 years. I got no other criminal record than that, too. So I can only imagine how bad it gets for other people.
We should all be getting paid by the government for having to put up with taking the times out of our day to make appointments to register, commute to the station to register, wait in those filthy police waiting lobbies, and have to put up with these asinine random compliance checks.
Don’t think I needed to be “registered” to learn my lesson. And for the “worst of the worse,” I don’t see the need to have to get someone to register past 10 years when they’ve been good citizens since.
All of this sex offender registration crap is a complete waste of taxpayer money. It just proves that we have completely incompetent buffoons acting as our politicians and judges. They have no idea what they’re are doing and make decisions based off of ignorance, bigotry, politics, and mainstream media pressures. They fight stupid wars, put Americans in harms way, leading to negligent murders, lose wars, only to donate crap to the Taliban at the end. Then they consider giving $450,000 to migrants at the border (look it up yourself)!
What’s the point in supporting this scam of a government, America (aka Land of the Lies), when we’re living as third-class citizens anyway? “Don’t like it… then move out of the country,” they say. Yet the Land of the Lies makes that nearly impossible for us!!!

I want to bring to peoples attention a case that will be heard at the Minnesota Supreme court. Specifically Ricky Lee McDeid, Appellant-Petitioner, and Shane P. Garry, Appellant-Petitioner, v. Nancy Johnston, CEO/Director, Minnesota Sex Offender Program, an agency of the State of Minnesota; and Jodi Harpstead, Commissioner, Department of Human Services, an agency of the State of Minnesota
Mostly this case involves damages for failure to release persons to a lower level of civil commitment which may be interesting.
What will me more interesting however is that Michael H. Miner, Ph.D., L.P and Eric S. Janus both experts in sex offender treatment and these laws in Minnesota (respectively) will be filing an Amicus brief, which according to their motion for leave to file is intended to educate the court as to the fact that the recidivism rates are extremely low. In my opinion it is what will be in this brief and what the court says (or doesn’t say) about it in their opinion that may have the most significance overall.
This case can be viewed here

I want to give this information on how my state enforces part of their SORNA requirements. Currently under state law I must give a notification if I plan to travel for more than 7 days. (This Is a SORNa requirement). DONT be fooled! I get a different answer every time I ask a different jurisdiction. Some want you to notify after 3 days. Some want you to sign a paper saying you will notify the place you are traveling to, immediately when crossing state lines. None of that is in the state law. None of that is in my contract when I register. How can they (ask) me to do more than what is required. Is this something that is illegal? Should I follow the state law and ignore their suggestion? After all if it is not in the state law and they are just”asking me to notify them if I leave for 3 days or sign a binding document” isn’t that just a suggestion? I’ve served my probation and am supposed to free from suggestion! Anyway this is just some insight, SORNA doesn’t stop asking for more of your freedoms. Any tips or advice is welcome. Would you do what they (ask or suggest)?
“I asked the officer, with your knowledge, is this your typical bully case? He said, ‘Absolutely not. This is a sexual assault case. Had that child been 10 years older, we would be at her house making some kind of arrest,'” Herrera said.
So… I plan to move to Colorado to open up a new business since my landlord desires to sell the property and all the businesses have to relocate.
So I spoke with a RSO lawyer, well so he says he is but couldn’t give me specific answers to specific questions. What a waste of consultation money! Anyways, my offense is 288.4(b), I was granted my expungement. The law says felony you have to register, ok I get it. But it says out of state you register based on PC comparison well, the only comparison is enticement but it states 15 and below, the person in my case was 17yo. So… do I have to register? I wish my 17b gets approved soon so I don’t have to register period. Anyone have a similar issue? Many thanks.
Who ya gonna sue? 🤣
This irrational hysteria about sex trafficking is becoming hilariously absurd!! 🤣 🤣 🤣
Bogeymen (and women!) are hiding behind every luggage stand! 🤣 🤣 🤣 . That woman with the baby…. Is it really hers?? Or has she addicted the newborn to be raised into a life of prostitution? Good God!! 🙄 🙄 🙄
No news is news…. when it contains the words “sex offenders”? 🙄
I am ashamed to say I don’t know of the federal regulations being proposed on Garland’s desk. I have phoned, emailed and sent a letter asking him to toss the proposed offender regulations into the trash as I was told. I did this in support of the registry being removed and certainly not modified to be more restricted. As a Tier 1 in Michigan who has a motion in process for removal I believe it is unfair to all. I am asking for information as to where I can read the proposed changes ?? Thank you Janice and Chance, you are wonderful to help those of us who truly should not be on the registry. It’s severe further punishment to ourselves, family and friends.
Well, this is unusual:
Convicted sex offender re-elected to Minden Town Board; will be disqualified
Anyone know how I might do away with a few federal policies in my case that are undeniably unconstitutional and tyrannical. How can they be beaten, or at least for now, sort of side stepped? I have my own ideas but they are for a later ‘situation’. For now, I need to get these ‘smaller’ policies out of the way so I can breathe and prepare for the bigger fight.
First, under my 20 year supervision, I am forced to work for 20 years or until my supervision is done, under the threat of imprisonment if I do not work. For me, I think that forcing someone to work, especially under the threat of imprisonment, is unconstitutional and tyrannical; as it takes away that individual’s right to work or not to work. This ‘policy’ essentially makes it illegal and criminal for me to not work. That’s definitely forced slavery or something horrible like murder or rape or tyranny. I don’t think America is supposed to accept policies like this. If I am not mistaken, whoever is behind this policy is committing a form of treason and or subversion against the U.S. Constitution and America and what America stands for.
My issue is not that I don’t want to work, because I love working, but rather that ‘I have the right to work and the right to not work’, and for someone to threaten me with imprisonment for doing either is criminal on their side. And any policy that says it is ok to do that is unconstitutional and paving a ‘legal’ path for tyranny. It would be different if I owed money to them but that is not the case. I think that ignoring these types of laws and ‘practices’, no matter how small or well hidden they are, is irresponsible, and will sooner or later lead to laws and practices that make it illegal and criminal to breath, to be of a certain ‘ethnicity’, to break your chains that bind you to a pole that those chose for you for life, and so on. Such hidden policies are created and used as a reference and gateway to how it is ok to support even bigger and more unconstitutional and tyrannical laws because these hidden policies were not challenged. I want to abolish this dam ‘policy’, since I am currently effected by it, and make the criminals behind it pay. But for now, I just need to side step it, perhaps by changing my supervision not to include it.
I have a few other federal practices both in my case and not in my case, that are also undeniably unconstitutional and tyrannical and I want to also expose and abolish them. But I have to start with the ones that are currently and directly effecting me the most. Does anyone have any idea how I can, for now, sidestep this specific policy against me, to give me some room to breathe so I can prepare for the big fight? It’s probably as simple as getting an attorney to argue a few points to a judge that I should not be forced to work, especially under the threat of imprisonment, because it is unconstitutional and tyrannical, and in my specific case, it is %100 unnecessary and does no good except harm.
–
In case anyone is interested, I am planning to build and finance a team of ‘experts’ (working professionals), and perhaps non-experts, to help me ‘abolish’ laws and practices ‘in the government’ that are unconstitutional and tyrannical. Please join me.
As of current, I have a (federal) sex offense (possession of child pornography) charge and will be officially out November 29 2021. Until then I will be under home confinement. After that I will be doing 20 years of supervision. The 20 year supervision is another issue: I got only 3.5 years of sentence but somehow got 20 years of supervision. If you have any suggestions or want to help, not just help me or my case, but to help fight and defeat the bigger fight, please stay in contact with me.
Of course in the midst of all of that, I need to first gain access to computers and the internet so I can make my money the best way that I know how to. Otherwise I don’t have any way to make good money to help me do any of this. Ill be as broke and as helpless as I am now. I need this restriction to be dealt with as soon as possible. (In 6 months I should be able to use computers and internet, but the sooner the better.)
I wont have internet access for a while after today.
Does anybody know if you are assigned Tier 1 or 2 under SORNA, that unlike sb 384, its automatic relief from registration or is it a petition process also??
14. Offenders receiving such a withdrawal of a guilty plea or set aside of their guilty verdict will no longer meet the definition of “convicted” under SORNA and, as such, are no longer required by SORNA to register.
And then this:(Because persons granted a) Because California bases its 90-day frequency of registration requirement in part on a risk determination, rather than solely on the offense of conviction, California does not meet the SORNA requirements of this section.
Does anybody know if there is something missing or was accidentally left out??
Typo perhaps???
Timing is everything and for those of you looking for a job, but worried you won’t pass a background check, there’s never been a better time.
