CLEVELAND COUNTY, N.C. (WBTV) – Cleveland County deputies have been out for the past two days checking on convicted sex offenders in the area.
Dozens of officers both in uniform and plain clothes are making sure those convicted of the crime are living where they’re supposed to and staying away from schools, parks and anywhere children may congregate.
Teams that fanned out making close to 400 compliance checks to make sure registered sex offenders are playing by the rules.
…
A person charged with a sex offense can be convicted of anything from public urination…
more taxpayer waste of money.
“A person charged with a sex offense can be convicted of anything from public urination to sex crimes involving children” ok I didn’t expect that in this article so different to see the lower crimes mentioned usually it’s only the worst example they use.
And of course the sheriff has to lie in order to keep the charades going “Chief Deputy Durwin Briscoe said keeping tabs on sex offenders in the county provides a valuable database in case another crime like this occurs.
“Those are the individuals that if we have a new offense or something, those are the individuals that we are going to look at first,” he said.
Guess in his mind the registry will stop a crime
Some ol’ tropes, same lies misleading the public. 😒
And, as usual, never bothered to mention the extremely low reoffense rate. 🙄
Law enforcement in Yolo County, California pull this kind of bullshit every year in something called Project Vigilance. The creep of a county DA who organizes it here puts out a press release that talks about how his office and the officers he organizes are protecting the public from dangerous sex offenders. Absolute performative nonsense. When they come by my house I do my best to ignore them when I’m home. The last time I heard them knocking—you can tell they’re cops because they always pound on the door—I just ignore them. I’m under no obligation to talk to them and they can do nothing about it—legally. Unfortunately, one year I was in my home office and I saw them and they saw me and I felt obligated to at least answer the door out of courtesy. After all, they may have been there for some other, more legitimate purpose.
Folks on here have made numerous comments about compliance checks–especially in California–when officers just show up a their home unannounced. What if a registrant is living in an apartment or condo? Do cops just come by and ring their buzzer? Or are those living situations exempt from compliance checks? I never heard anyone discuss this situation before
Just look at those swamp creatures trying really hard to prove themselves and stay relevant in front of the sheep that download that boogeyman app and sign up for alerts.
Beyond pathetic.
“checks to make sure registered sex offenders are playing by the rules.”
Your rules suck.
Your game sucks.
Your team sucks.
Your registry sucks.
The article is missing key details:
..1. Where the checks on those only on probation/parole?
..2. How extensive is this compliance check?
If these compliance checks are on registrants no longer officially under custody, then this becomes an added burden and now resembles punitive traits.
Probation/Parole traits:
…..1. In-person reporting
…..2. set restrictions
…..3. compliance checks
Registry traits:
…..1. In-person reporting
…..2. set restrictions
It’s when that third component is applied that makes the registry punitive.
Everything about the registry is designed to keep you from living a normal life.
When will law enforcement realize that the kitchen sink approach will never work?
They’re just abusing this law to promote their department in front of a brainwashed society on this subject. They’re absolutely taking advantage of the situation for their own PR gain.
“Compliance checks” are redundant over-policing. They’re NOT being proactive or hyper-vigilant with this cavalier nonsense.
Chief Deputy Durwin Briscoe of Cleveland County, NC is stupid. When a sex crime is committed, the last place that ANYONE should look for the perpetrator of the crime is on any Sex Offense Registry. I don’t expect the stupid Amerikan public to know that or even comprehend it, but a supposed law enforcement “professional” sure as hell should. Durwin Briscoe ought to know better. So he is stupid for not knowing or lying about it, I don’t know which.
When a crime occurs, dummy Durwin Briscoe ought to look at the facts and evidence surrounding it and try to solve it based on that. Instead of reading his jack off list.
All of this shows why it is a great reason to never, ever interact with law enforcement and that they need serious de-funding. As long as they have resources to jack off with Registries then they have too many resources. Americans need to keep our resources out of the hands of out-of-control big government.
Lastly, when people like Durwin Briscoe are being stupid, let’s all document it as many places as possible (like my very first sentence). When someone “Googles” “Durwin Briscoe” they should see a lot of negative information. It’s the least that should be done.
