What’s happened to this General Comments section? No longer makes sense. Hopefully this is just a temporary error in programming.
This is what it has become…with one license plate registered as required by the PFR, every move you make, they’ll be watching you… Hope the lawsuit overturns the use and data of these things w/o a warrant but persuasive US DC of IL opinion does not agree. There is no reasonable right to privacy on the public road system today, so pictures can be taken and a pattern can be developed of where one is going with a series of them. I can see the govt taxing some drivers more when they are tracked more on the roads than others who don’t drive them as much.
Police cameras tracked one driver 526 times in four months, lawsuit says (NBC News 18 Sep 2025)
Just think, you can tie these pics with the doorbell systems and you could literally do a point to point travel by pictures alone.
The current president who campaigned on releasing the Epstein files, has obstructed. The current AG who promised to release information, has obstructed. And now, the head of the FBI in front of a House Oversight Committee has obstructed by refusing to answer simple questions and giving answers that do not answer the questions.
If any of us obstructed and covered up sex trafficking, we would be in prison. Appears to me there are three sets of laws in this country, one for the president due to the current supreme court, one for the rich and powerful, and one for the remainder of us.
Anyone have an idea when the legislature is going to take up the last recommendations of CASOMB, especially changing possession of CP to tier one from three?
The judge that presided over Dylan Roof’s case was charged with CP. Another example of someone not on the registry committing a sex offense.
The reality of actually being trapped in California is starting to kick in. The fact that people no longer required to register would be forced to register in another state is crazy.
The other day I checked my name in the FBI nationwide database and nothing popped up.
So if I’m removed from Megan‘s law and removed from the federal FBI nationwide registry, how can another state put me right back on it, and they don’t have to take you off of it when you leave.
This is gonna become a serious problem in the future trapping registrars in their home states.
I think George Carlin summed it up best…
Rights are not rights if they can be taken away. All we have had in this country is a bill of temporary privileges. The government does not give a f about your rights.
All this seems especially true for us people forced to register.
Every court in this country is corrupt from top to bottom! This is not veiled double-speak. It is SIMPLE FACT! There is no argument!
It is either, as the Thirteenth Amendment defines, Slavery or involuntary servitude (AKA human trafficking), or it is punishment for a crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.
The fact that a person is sentenced to registration duties/restrictions upon being duly convicted of a crime is the very definition of punishment for the offense. It is a legislatively created debt owed to society resulting from a conviction.
Registrants are in fact “serving time” for their offense. Whether 10 years, 20 years, or a life sentence, it IS a sentence being served.
No matter what they want to say the purpose of that sentence is. A sentence for a crime, is a sentence for a crime, is a sentence for a crime! All day long! No way around it, no matter the reason for it!
UNLESS it was NOT part of a sentence for a crime… in which case it IS “involuntary servitude” unlawfully perpetrated retroactively on the people! PEONAGE!
While the Supreme Court issued several rulings between 1905 and 1914 that undermined the state laws upholding peonage, enforcement was often weak. The practice gradually began to decline in the 1940s, though it remains a part of modern-day labor trafficking. The Thirteenth Amendment’s ban on involuntary servitude and peonage is a foundation of US law, but the history of its exploitation highlights the fragility of legal protections without proper enforcement.
The legislature can create legislation for public safety but when it imposes duties on people, these people MUST be paid for their service or the government is GUILTY of Peonage. Imposing restrictions deepens their crime!
Peonage
Summary: “Section 1581 of Title 18 makes it unlawful to hold a person in “debt servitude,” or peonage, which is closely related to involuntary servitude. Section 1581 prohibits using force, the threat of force, or the threat of legal coercion to compel a person to work against his/her will. In addition, the victim’s involuntary servitude must be tied to the payment of a debt.” AKA a conviction for a crime. https://www.justice.gov/crt/involuntary-servitude-forced-labor-and-sex-trafficking-statutes-enforced
We won’t even touch on how unlawfully illegal it is to extort money from PFR by attaching fees to the services they are providing… That is just a BIG FAT are you F’ING KIDDING ME!
It’s time to hold every official accountable for their crimes against PFR!
They cannot deny the peonage or the violence and murder that they are intentionally inciting against all these families!
18 U.S.C. § 1581
(a) Whoever holds or returns any person to a condition of peonage, or arrests any person with the intent of placing him in or returning him to a condition of peonage, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both. If death results from the violation of this section, or if the violation includes kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, the defendant shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or life, or both.
(b) Whoever obstructs, or attempts to obstruct, or in any way interferes with or prevents the enforcement of this section, shall be liable to the penalties prescribed in subsection (a).
This is a comment in response to Janice’s Journal: Fraud, Deceit, Murder. The Megan’s Law website which shows the list of registrants has only been influencing society to fear the registrants and even worse make the citizens attack and murder any of those registrants. This implies that the citizens have gotten more and more violent. Most of the people in the world seem to ignore the fact that there are people who have committed crimes in their past and later have repented, received rehabilitation, and trained themselves to think and behave good. There are inpatient and outpatient mental clinics for people with various kinds of problems and many people have made their minds straight. The Megan’s Law website and the registry really need to be abolished as soon as possible. This should be a problem for the individual to work out and solve for himself by himself and with family and private friends only. None of the cases should ever be publicized. I sincerely hope the government officials are all discussing and working to abolish the registry very soon.
This story got my attention because I worked at a Miami bookstore when a book of her photos came out in the late 90s. It created a small stir because of the child nudity. Now her photos are creating a stir again. 🤷🏻♂️
NPR: Photographer Sally Mann warns of ‘new era of culture wars’ after art seizure
I thought I would let PFR know when it comes to home defense you can buy a AEA air shot gun it’s pretty kool and futuristic and completely legal to own as long as you don’t use slugs over 40 caliber. it’s not considered a firearm at lest not here in California.
Goole AEA air guns they have some really kool stuff also you can go on YouTube and see the air guns stopping power you’ll be surprised 💥
I wonder if any if these correctional officers are on the registry:
‘Every woman’s worst nightmare’: Lawsuit alleges widespread sexual abuse at California prisons for women
A school counselor in Oklahoma has been arrested and charged with 1st degree rape. Another example of you know the lines: someone in a position of trust, not on the registry, and Oklahoma’s registry didn’t do jack to prevent or solve this crime.
Three women were arrested, and one is still on the run for following a federal agent from the Civic Center in downtown Los Angeles, all the way to his home and then exposing him to all his neighbors and posting his address online their facing five years for putting a federal agent life in danger.
The lady who nearly assassinated Gerald Ford in SF 50 years ago served 32 years of her entire life sentence before being released but one who has lived a clean life after a sex crime conviction cannot be relieved of Tier 3 or anything related to the registry for their life or even receive a compassionate release from prison.
Registry as Constitutional Collapse: The Triad of Harm They called it civil. They called it oversight. They called it protection. But what they built was a machine—one that disables, discriminates, and detains. This is the story of a system that launders punishment through policy, and of the people caught in its gears. I. Unlawful Disability It begins with a label. A tier. A classification. From that moment, the state imposes restrictions that function as disability: Housing exclusion that forces displacement Economic collapse through reputational ruin Insurance denial that leaves families unprotected Medical abandonment that turns care into silence Religious restriction that bars sanctuary Forced isolation or starvation through exclusion zones and surveillance These are not side effects. They are designed outcomes. And they arrive without due process, without remedy, without exit. Disability imposed by policy is not regulation—it is structural harm. It violates: Fourteenth Amendment – Equal Protection & Due Process Thirteenth Amendment – Involuntary Servitude & Peonage Key Case: Doe v. Snyder, 834 F.3d 696 (6th Cir. 2016) – Michigan’s registry scheme was ruled punitive and unconstitutional under the Ex Post Facto Clause. II. Selective Enforcement The law is not applied equally. It is targeted, manipulated, and weaponized. Some are reclassified without hearings Others are arrested for technical violations while identical conduct is ignored elsewhere Prosecutors shop for experts until they find one willing to fabricate risk Prior trial outcomes and psychological assessments are buried or suppressed This is not justice. It is prejudice in procedural clothing. Selective enforcement undermines constitutional neutrality. It turns law into a tool of revenge. It violates: Fourteenth Amendment – Equal Protection Fifth Amendment – Due Process Key Case: Yick Wo v. Hopkins, 118 U.S. 356 (1886) – Laws applied in a discriminatory manner violate equal protection, even if neutral on their face. III. Predictive Confinement Infrastructure The registry does not document crime. It simulates punishment for imagined future conduct. Civil commitment without volitional impairment Risk scores without interviews Tier assignments based on conviction history alone Surveillance justified by statistical speculation This is not oversight. It is pre-crime incarceration. It violates: Fifth Amendment – Double Jeopardy Eighth Amendment – Cruel & Unusual Punishment Fourteenth Amendment – Due Process Key Cases: Kansas v. Hendricks, 521 U.S. 346 (1997) – Civil commitment must not be punitive Weems v. United States, 217 U.S. 349 (1910) – Proportionality under the Eighth Amendment In re Medley, 134 U.S. 160 (1890) – Retroactive solitary confinement ruled unconstitutional Coalition Framing: This infrastructure erodes reasonable doubt, violates proportionality, and converts civil law into carceral architecture. IV. Caste Creation & Servitude When the state imposes disability, enforces selectively, and builds predictive confinement infrastructure, it does not regulate. It creates a caste. This caste is: Permanent – no exit, no restoration, no due process Punitive – masked as civil, but functions as incarceration Servile – demanding silence, compliance, and self-reporting without remedy It violates: Thirteenth Amendment – Peonage & Involuntary Servitude Fourteenth Amendment – Due Process & Equal Protection Key Statute: 18 U.S.C. § 1581 – Prohibits holding or returning any person to a condition of peonage. Coalition Framing: This is not oversight—it is servitude by design. V. Revenge by Expert When the state loses the narrative, it does not concede. It retaliates—by hiring someone who will say what it wants to hear. Disregards its own expert’s findings Shops for a second expert who never interviews the individual Uses speculative testimony to justify confinement Suppresses prior trial outcomes and psychological assessments This is not oversight. It is revenge cloaked in procedure. Coalition Framing: Expert shopping is not assessment—it is engineered confinement. It is retaliation disguised as evaluation.VI. Death by Internet Exposure – The Final Reckoning They said it was public safety. They said it was transparency. But what they built was a digital scaffold—one that incites violence, fuels bullying, and ends lives. Under SORNA (Sex Offense Registration and Notification Act), the state: Publishes names, addresses, and photos on searchable databases Expands public access to registrant data across jurisdictions Mandates updates and in-person appearances that increase visibility and risk Creates reputational branding that incites vigilante violence and social death This exposure is not neutral. It is engineered harm. Documented Outcomes: Cyberbullying linked to suicide in adolescents and adults Registrants murdered after being located via public databases Families harassed, displaced, and threatened Mental health deterioration due to perpetual online targeting This is not oversight. It is reputational execution. Amendments Violated: Fourteenth Amendment – Equal Protection & Due Process Eighth Amendment – Cruel & Unusual Punishment Thirteenth Amendment – Involuntary Servitude First Amendment – Right to privacy, dignity, and protection from compelled exposure Key Statute: 18 U.S.C. § 1581 – If death results from peonage or coercive exposure, the state may be liable for life imprisonment.

Can anyone fill me in on requirements for a new vehicle purchase? Do I have to notify my place of registration straight away or just wait until my yearly? I couldn’t find any information on my yearly paperwork. They do ask every year if there are any new vehicles.
thanks!
Festival (Containment)
Seasonal Entry: Fall (Reckoning) Word Count: 492 Disclaimer: This entry documents systemic exclusion from public festivities due to caste-based banishment, registry restrictions, and survivor-centered harm. It includes jurisdictional scope, constitutional breaches, mental health exclusion, and tax-exempt contradictions. Formatted for coalition use and constitutional reform.
In a town where the leaves turned gold but the gates stayed locked, the festival came every year like clockwork. Lanterns were strung, music rehearsed, booths erected. But not everyone was invited.
One of the quiet houses stood just beyond the parade route—camellias blooming out front, foam sleeves stacked by the door, flyers folded like origami on the kitchen table. Inside lived someone marked—not by crime, but by caste. A registrant. A survivor. A character written out of the town’s joy script.
The law said their presence was harm. So they stayed home, not by choice, but by decree.
In Alabama, the bans were blanket. In Florida, ordinances crept around parks and fairs. In Texas, exclusion zones bloomed during seasonal festivals. In North Carolina, surveillance replaced signage. In California, discretion became denial. The festival was public, but the exclusions were precise.
Inside, the festival was studied like a relic: old movie lists, archived parades, the sound of joy filtered through walls. Outside, the town danced. Inside, the family kept vigil.
They were not banned. But they refused to go. Not out of protest, but out of love. They withheld their joy to protect the one excluded. And in doing so, became inmates of empathy—bound by care, yet denied celebration.
The harm was constitutional:
First Amendment — denied assembly, denied expression
Fourteenth Amendment — joy rationed by caste
Eighth Amendment — psychological harm via perpetual banishment
Mental Health Exclusion — to never replay in a joyous act with the community is an exclusion to mental health
And yet, many of these festivals operate under tax-exempt status—granted to nonprofit sponsors or organizers who claim public benefit.
Public benefit without public access
Tax relief while perpetuating caste-based harm
Charitable status used to fund exclusionary joy
The booths outside echoed with laughter. The rooms inside echoed with restraint.
But the archive grew. Each banishment. Each camellia seed. Each flyer, formatted with symbols of harm and hope.
And with it, a demand: Restore joy. Amend the exclusions. Recognize the harm. Audit exemptions. Reframe containment. Until every gate opens. Until every caste dissolves. Until the festival belongs to all.

The Registrant’s Grand Tour: A Week of Joyous ComplianceWelcome, traveler. If you’re a registrant seeking the thrill of the great outside, we’ve curated an exclusive itinerary just for you. Prepare for a week of unforgettable moments—each one legally permitted and emotionally numbing.
Day 1: Scenic TransitBegin your journey at the Public Transit Hub. Bus stations and train depots—neutral zones where you can watch the world move without you. Take in the industrial charm and maybe even catch a glimpse of someone going somewhere.
Day 2: Civic SplendorNext stop: the DMV Offices. Marvel at the architecture of compliance. Renew your ID, register your vehicle, and bask in the fluorescent glow of bureaucratic validation. Don’t forget to bring your parents—they’ll love the line system.
Day 3: Historic SilenceTour the County Courthouse & Clerk’s Office. Air-conditioned serenity awaits as you browse property records and legal filings. Ask a helpful clerk when the building was constructed—because history matters when you’re not allowed to make any.
Day 4: Urban StrollTake a legally cautious walk down Public Sidewalks & Trails (away from schools, of course). Admire the Private Businesses you can enter—auto shops, thrift stores, and adult venues. Each one a monument to tolerated existence.
Day 5: Federal AccessVisit the Post Office. Send a letter. Receive a summons. Either way, you’re welcome here. It’s one of the few places where your presence doesn’t trigger a zoning alert.
Day 6: Spiritual ReflectionStop by a Public Cemetery. Quiet, symbolic, and rarely restricted. Maybe you’ll see Elvis. Maybe you’ll just see yourself—reflected in the silence of erased names.
Day 7: Symbolic ClosureBefore heading back to the Transit Hub, explore Vacant or Abandoned Properties. Snap a photo. You might need it to prove you weren’t somewhere illegal. These forgotten spaces mirror your own—present, but unclaimed.
Bonus Stop: Prestigious DiningPick up dinner for your folks at a Food Bank or Donation Center. It’s accessible, though you might want to check for child-focused programming. Nothing says “family meal” like surplus cans and zoning anxiety.
Final Surprise: Historic RiskCap off your week with a cautious visit to a site on the National Register of Historic Places. Some are accessible. Some are traps. Approach with care—you might earn the ultimate prize: a non-punitive trip to prison.
Enjoy your stay. And remember: every step you take is a privilege, every breath a compliance check. Welcome to the city. You’re not invited, but you’re allowed.
If you are not paying attention to the UK’s digital ID happenings, then you should be. Ideas born there usually make their way here across the pond for considerations. There are reasons why we broke away by spilling the tea and should continue to do so, if critical thinking is in place.
Why are PFR related cases, etc, not using this principle more when being litigated?
Rule of Lenity (Cornell Law)
The rule of lenity is a principle used in criminal law, also called rule of strict construction, stating that when a law is unclear or ambiguous, the court should apply it in the way that is most favorable to the defendant, or to construe the statute against the state. The rule of lenity stems from two constitutional objectives: first, the separation of powers, as it limits the scope of statutory language in penal statutes and does not allow the courts to establish the contours of a crime and its punishment. Second, the rule of lenity stems from the wish to “protect the legislature’s constitutional lawmaking prerogative, and to limit the courts’ encroachment on a legislative function”.

Amazing, not one PFR is listed in the article…
