Appeal from conviction and sentence for knowingly failing to give notice of foreign travel as a sex offender

Before all the travel additions the registry was to know where you lived and to keep tabs on you. In person registry is the exact same for more than a decade and had not changed until the huge list of additions to the registry. So the form to confirm your address registration is suddenly, without any additional instructions, used to add a list of additional requirements that have nothing to do with where you live and your phone number. The form confirming your information is suddenly, after over a decade of being the exact same, a form to notify you of changes as well as confirm you have not moved and all your information is correct and up to date. So you can do your best, confirm in person every year, but now you have to keep track of court room issues that 7 year law degreed professionals and lifetime legal professionals such as attorneys lawyers etc can not even understand and take up enormous amount of time trying to decipher. And now registering interstate is a huge issue nevermind international travel. And so you go on a boat that goes to international waters and stops but you do not get off, is this international travel? How is this different than a plane that goes over international air or refuels on a way but you do not leave the plane, what danger does a person pose on the plane or boat that is different in international waters and how is being placed on public registries for traveling interstate not continued punishment or at least an infringement on constitutional rights.How many people who took a plea prior to these expo facto additions to the registry would take the same plea now? So how does signing the confirmation of your residency information change to notification of extra paperwork that could be a felony charge without ever providing notice the form would become your notification of law. The evidence that the registry serves no protection to the public is there and the reports that the registry harms all the family members is also there so every politician supporting the registry know knowingly supports violating the constitution and harming a great number of children from the consequences of the registry as well as our country’s constitution. The true people benefiting from the suffering of children injured are the ones effected by the isolation and bullying the registry needlessly and pointlessly causes. For the opportunity ot spread fear from false information and then claim the registry industry is the solution while it is really a profiting industry raised from the spread of false information, this politicians harm more children and the courts that ignore the facts and research harm more children to continue the profiting registration industry. Spreading false fear, grandstanding to be a protector against non existent boogie men for profit while harming more children and families than all the crimes of the registrants combined, who are profiting off the harming our communities. The man clearly did not intentionally violate the registry, it was a new thing to follow that is buried in a list. We all sign things without reading every tiny paragraph knowing that singing the forms are not an option if you want the lease, or want the credit card or want the mortgage or want to stay out of jail. There is absolutely no indication this man new his registry requirements had so dramatically changed.Becuase of a forced signature on a form that had not changed for decades this person is in jail over a clerical issue and not knowing the rules that the courts continue to fight over. It seems clear common sense is not allowed in the court rooms, facts and studies are worth far less than the need to be popular in our branches of government and treating the constitution as applicable when it is convenient is our present and future. How do you all not get so sad by this? It was a half life we dragged ourself through with hope but now that all the studies are there and available and the registry is shown to help no one but the courts and legislatures and politicians still continue to make it worse and worse on the registry………

Prosecutor: “His prior conviction puts him on notice that he is subject to an ongoing registration regime.” That sounds a lot like being subject to ongoing punishment, to me. Yes, it IS a “regime,” all right!

If you ever wondered why they ask you to put a check mark in a box next to dozens of statements on your registration form, this case should answer that question. It all comes down to “notice”” given to the registrant and makes the case that the registrant’s acts were committed with “mens rea” or “guilty conscience or knowledge.” In other words, you’re assisting them in the prosecution of your future-self for disobeying one of their criminal/civil laws by checking those little boxes and initialling them. When you check that box without reading it first, which I frequently didn’t do myself, you are giving them ammo to use against you in the future but, of course, you are given no choice but to do so. So, better to read the damned thing. Our time means nothing, after all. They’ve already made the decision to waste our entire lives jumping through whatever flaming hoops they put before us.

Also, the Ninth Circuit Court Of Appeals seems like it has gone downhill since Judge Alex Kozinski’s ouster for sexual harassment. So, fantastic defender of civil liberties, on the one hand, got a little “handsy” and verbally harrassive with the law clerks, on the other. Hmmm…. tough choice!

The federal and states need to publish “Welcome to being a registered citizen” handbooks with every law applicable written and actual active conact information that provide clarity and step by step process.. Only way I find out if new laws apply to me is only yearly during my annual, and its just vague briefings that change yearly.. can’t be near a park, now I can.. Can’t be near a private daycare, now I can… its like the laws flip flop every year…
