The U.S. Sentencing Commission, a bipartisan, independent agency located in the judicial branch of government, was created by Congress in 1984 to reduce sentencing disparities and promote transparency and proportionality in sentencing.
The Commission collects, analyzes, and distributes a broad array of information on federal sentencing practices. The Commission also continuously establishes and amends sentencing guidelines for the judicial branch and assists the other branches in developing effective and efficient crime policy.
Is there something specific to find in this?
The only reason this article was posted was to remind the registrant community that new federal sentencing guidelines become effective today, November 1.
(2) If the defendant voluntarily (A) corrected the failure to register; or (B) attempted to register but was prevented from registering by uncontrollable circumstances and the defendant did not contribute to the creation of those circumstances, decrease by 3 levels.
This part of the failure to register laws scares me. It allows us to be imprisoned for failure to register even if the officer refuses to register us or even if there was a reason we could not register outside of our control.
