Well, here’s some more punishment from being on the “non-punitive” hit list. I was at my bank last week applying for a car loan. I have an excellent credit score of 720, been at the same job and residence for many years, make very good money, have no outstanding debt, have no other loans out. My current car is paid for, and I just wanted to buy my girlfriend a new car, which should not have been a problem at all, because I have financed both my current car and motorcycle through the same bank. My loan application was denied and the reason given was “criminal history found”.
This is quite interesting, because I paid off my motorcycle 7 months early last summer, and it was my most recent loan, but I was instantly approved for the loan. When my bank financed my car, approval was also pretty much instant. But now all of a sudden because I have a 30 year old conviction (my only one) I no longer qualify for financing on a vehicle?
No other explanations were given by the bank manager, although he did seem confused as to why I was denied because of a criminal history. He said he personally knows several people who have felony convictions who had no problems getting loans. I explained to him that my conviction classifies me as “sub-human” in the eyes of the public.
I am wondering if anyone else has had anything similar happen to them? An old felony conviction should have no bearing on a loan application when the applicant is in good standing financially.
I suppose my only option now is to pay cash for something for her.
I think that If we all send a letter to every Congressman, Senator, Attorney General.
If Chance or Janice could write up a rough draft of what we should focus on as for as subject matter. It would be a great help I for one would send .
I also think the public needs to understand the homeless problem in 2017 also most 5000 homeless where RSO just think how many there are on the streets now,they never mention that on the news if the general public knew that maybe there would be some change to ease our restrictions so we could work and live like normal.
I’m not a betting man, but I do wonder what the Over\Under bet is on the next mass shooting in America?( +-90days?)
Anyone else following Steven whitsett’s German human rights complaint against the US? He recently posted an update about it on his YouTube, hopefully soon we will have a ruling.
FYI,
The phone scam is now spoofing the incoming number and name to be a police department. I’m letting calls go to voicemail. If legit call, call the switchboard number not the one they leave.
Well, I hear that the Registry is just Administrative and not punishment. I beg to differ. I just landed a really great management position at Nordstrom, and in just 1 week I was called by HR that someone had voiced a concern that I was listed on the registry. After “careful consideration and investigation “, Nordstrom terminated me based only because I was listed on the Registry. I am positive that’s against the new law but cannot seem to find a employment discrimination attorney willing to open a case. Punishment it is!
I would like to commend the ACSOL web crew for streamlining the comments section. Much more convenient to use.
Also, I brought up an idea but posted on the last day of the month so might not have been noticed. To that end, who here thinks a “Petition matrix” would be helpful. It would:

Well Fox News has a few sex articles today:

“Remedial”
This was the word used by U.S. Solicitor General Office regarding the implementation of the Wetterling Act Regime in 1994 which created Fed SORA. The notification system came later. Smith V Doe 2003 weighed both simultaneously and in choosing that tact overlooked an important detail in respect to the two regimes underlying intent. Fact is the preamble only applied directly ONLY to the first Act – the prescribed building of the electronic database. While the prescription of Megan’s Law ( notification & public access) did not contain the same preamble. Of course, the later notification provisions that were not present for pre-act offenders during judgement and were wholly superimposed without process upon already convicted. This is where “remedial,” and the precise definition in law thereof, becomes the crux of the conflict between man and state’s database machine. State’s decisions to broadcast is different than the plain building a database in that the remedy is not passive activity.
Can someone tell me how long you can visit Missouri before you have to register?
It appears to be 7 days, but thought I’d confirm. Is camping considered a “residence” ??
Thanks
Why are federal sentencing guidelines so much harsher than state. I saw article about some reality host that was sentenced to 12yrs for a single count of possession of CP. While I’m not privy to the facts surrounding this case, it does seem drastically harsher than what I have heard state (county) felony convictions getting. I myself received a misdemeanor and probation for a single possession charge. Is there a threshold that is crossed that brings federal charges?
Florida man oral sex head on crash
Let’s all see if this gets him on the registry.
Fun fact: Most murderers eventually are released from prison. This woman was convicted of killing an ex-bf, and, after her release, was convicted of drowning her child. Should America have a registry of murderers? The fact this is even a question, when we have a registry of men who solicited prostitutes in some states, is so absolutely ludicrous to me that honestly I can’t even be mad. We live in one of those ridiculous societies like the ones with lip discs or feet binding. It’s just silly.
This man had a psychiatrist state that after examining , the man believed he was role playing with another legal adult. Well, he was ……kinda. Only the “adult” was a cop.
It is time to stop these insane entrapments. Cops have nothing better to do than manufacture crimes?
Any update on the case mentioned here:
lawsuit challenges tiered registry law provision
Thanks.
Port Washington Wisconsin installs flock cameras and the police use it to do what????……”What it does is, it captures a picture of a license plate and every vehicle that passes by it, and it checks that against like, National Crime Information Center computers and stuff, so if a car is wanted for being stolen, if the person is a registered sex offender, if the driver is wanted and has warrants for them,”
So the cameras search for a crime being committed…. wait……the sex offender registry is not punishment!!! So why is this camera searching the registries? These registries need to be gone!!!
I’m embarrassed to be an American.
Really.
And with this delegation doctrine (which is really what it is), SCOTUS essentially said the Attorney General can act as King, Judge, Jury, and Executioner, regardless of the Constitution. So what’s the f***ing point of having a Constitution, then, if no one in government is willing to stand up for it? I feel like I’m living in the Twilight Zone, because as time goes on, it actually seems like we’re regressing, instead of progressing. Things actually seem to be getting worse, in all aspects of life, instead of better.
Some people might say, “If you don’t like it here, then move.” Well, as a Registered Sex Offender, we can’t! We’re trapped in this dump of a third-world country with a Gucci belt. I hear great things from people I know in other countries, and how their countries are developing, but I can’t leave to join them. Our overseers, with things like “Angel Watch,” or “International Megan’s Law,” (think double-speak Orwell like “Ministry of Truth,” “Ministry of Peace,” etc.), who call themselves the “Department of Justice,” whether federal or state, have made it nearly impossible for anyone that wants to start a new, fresh, honest life.
And I’m convinced it’s by design. Just like the “wall” that was supposed to keep Mexicans from coming in, the South Park episode nailed it when eventually, that wall will keep Americans from escaping this Dung Hole Country. Even non-Registered Sex Offenders seem to concede this country is turning into a Certified Shit Show. Politicians are corrupt as Hell. We’re all paying almost $7 to $8 per gallon for gas. Wages are stagnant (for those that can actually find a job). Inflation is through the roof. Our GDP and employment figures are definitely RIGGED. And the stock market is tanking. Kids can’t even get a four-year college degree without going into $200,000 debt, then owing the “Department of Education” those loans, for the rest of their lives, compounding at 4% interest.
And owning a home? Unless you’re one of the lucky ones, that’s slowly becoming nearly impossible too, especially as companies like Blackrock, American Homes for Rent, and Goldman Sachs buyout a lot of homes to rent them out at ridiculous prices.
You know who I feel sorry for? All the kids that this “country,” and its “government,” ostensibly wants to “protect.” While us middle-aged folks grow old and pass off, our psychopathic government has left the young ones with the most crappy prospects, wherein they’re at high risk of incarceration, registration, college indebtedness, and homelessness.
LOL AMERICA IS A SCAM. The “American Dream” has been officially replaced by the American Nightmare. And we have front row seats of this Shit Show.
From LA, CA comes this, a person in a position of trust under the guise of religion in this instance: Mexican megachurch leader gets more than 16 years for abuse
How’s that registry workin’? Wait, what?! It did not help here one bit?! Didn’t think so.
Ashamed or embarrassed to be an American or should we all say who knew better. While TS is talking about trust with a church article example who do we trust today. Do we put our trust in Government, ourselves, others or are we all embarrassed about this registry that seems to eat at everyone’s conscious and everyone seems to want to find the quick answers to justify or do the ends justify the means..
Yelp, Tim was part right its all about the internet or database but that would be like justifying ones motives. The internet made me do it, it was all do to the database. What an attitude adjustment. So were does that lead one into some type of corrupt moral of injustice in American Justice today. If righteousness is doing what is right. Justice is doing what is fair and equality is not being bias in many ways and means. So who is over stealing one’s justice today? Sure stealing is no good even passing judgement on non criminal issues is in and of itself criminal. And yes everyone has morals or is the morals of the country stuck in some internet database today.
Well as the wheels of justice turn SEX strikes again! You will laugh out loud people! Leito’slaw GEICO insures, women sues. And you will be amazed why.
Michigan’s AG Office has been covering up their felonies for over 20 years.
If you were ” charged” with child sexually abusive activity for showing up for a meeting with a fake underage persona they only used a small percent of the statute and kept you far away from jury instructions and from the full law.
You are innocent , they are guilty of a bevy of crimes including unlawfully forcing you into prison and onto the registry! Just read the full laws and jury instructions and get your case overturned. It is a commercial activity statute that does not apply to these sting ops .
Same goes with the “Disseminating sexually explicit matter to minor…” A few words of the title only to avoid illegally charging the full statute as they tack on internet provisions. They are in contempt of fed court concerning 1999 Public Act 33. You, again, are innocent.
They used this commercial activity law against those engaging in adult conversation or activity online. There is a Motion for Declaratory Judgment that has been ” under review” as the email from the judge’s chambers tells me for almost 3 months now. They must declare the lawless prosecutions as unconstitutional. Its a happy time for 100’s or probably 1000’s when this gets justly adjudicated.
Mike Cox, Kelly Carter, Amica Letica, Edward Sosnick, Robert Bondy and dozens of other officials crimes are exposed .
Former Governors from that sweaty guy…oh ..Engler, then Granholm, Schuette ( who Letica personally banned from seeing my appeal — she wrote a screening device),but that administration knew ALL about the cover up, Whitmer are all complicit.
HAVE A GLORIOUS DAY !!
I keep telling those needing to change their lives to go on websites like indeed. Well, here is the proof.
Opened an email three days ago and was linked to a job offer based on my experience in the Philippics. Yeah right. Like that is going to ever happen,
So I responded and yesterday had a video interview today. They presented their offer, $150/hr with benefits and some inter country travel. Now if you are familiar with the P.I. Then you know that is a seriously high paying job there relative to their economy.
Well, I thanked them and then proceeded to explain my current situation. After I did, they asked if I was currently in any legal entanglements ( their words ). I said that was my one and only.
I was put on pause ( even had some kind of elevator music ) and when the two reps came back on, I was told they would be pursuing a legal remedy that if approved would allow me entry and employment.
I have to do more research before accepting the position, but my point of all this is that there are opportunities if you put yourself out there. Some will be great opportunities and some will not pan out. But it gives you back the self respect that many here have lost for no reason other than the way we are looked upon.
You are needed, you are wanted and you do have something to offer.

I don’t mean to be a negative nellie here, but gaining relief from registration only seems like half a victory. If you want to visit other states for longer periods of time, or perhaps even move to another state, does anyone know how many states would require you to start registration all over again, perhaps even for life? Has anyone been in that situation, and would there be a legal challenge there? I remember seeing some mention of this, and I wonder if anyone has found themselves having to re-register in a new state even though they were granted relief from registration under Calif’s tiered registry law. If you’re currently registered, the laws are pretty straightforward about having to register in other states. But what about if you’re no longer required to register in your current state? Does the fact that you have a prior conviction seal your fate in any other state you visit or move to?
Comments on this appreciated.
Thank you
Along for the ride you seem to take it on yourself to know about this registry or views about plane passports, computers, even jobs, and seems you are a man of the world. Now how does that jive with one’s character of being caught up or blacklisted on the registry. While we are all here to understand the registry and yes Janice and her team plus many more have taken this challenge to help eliminate much of this for many not just in CA but all over this Nation and I’m sure she enjoys good constructive input also. Are their right or wrong answers in all this registry or is everyone trying to justify their actions in many ways. Helping others is always good in bad situations. Remember we are all here to speak up and at the same times show respect.
For many on here this registry is not easy and hampers all in many ways. And yes I am glad that some have been es ponged from the registry. Their is good that always comes out of bad if you look for the knowledge and apply it. This registry is serious business for all. Comments are good if they are beneficial. Even I can’t judge anyone on here. Sure many are upset about this registry or this type of betray, manipulation scheme or con and their is nothing wrong with a little bit of Christianity or at many times the blind leading the blind. As far as thoughts go who knows the thoughts and intents of another? I’m sure none of us like to be railroaded or deceived so forgive me if you don’t understand me or my thoughts as why would I trespass on another.
It’s not just us! 😒🙄
