This is a prime example of a small part of what kentucky is like off the books. They manipulate the system for profits, at the expense of people that have already served their time. I’ve heard multiple times from people here that’s on the registry that once you serve your time, it’s not completely over until you are ‘off’ the registry. They’re constantly changing and manipulating rules under the table here. Used to you didn’t have to pay to get off the registry, just serve your time and be done. Then they started this thing where you have to PAY to get off of it. All about money in the end at the expense of citizens that wanna live a normal life. From what I understand that others have told me, say you get a class d which is a 1-5 year sentence, serve 2 years at 100%. You served your complete time, that’s the way it’s supposed to work. But for whatever reason the system got manipulated. Say if there’s a violation that came up and you got locked back up, not only would you have to serve the new time sentence you will also be required to serve out the remainder of the class d. Meaning that 2 years isn’t official… you’ll serve another 3. When you get locked up here they’ll choose to either pause the registry time or require you to start back over, or change from 20 to lifetime. Just recently learned that if you have an expired license in kentucky while you are on the registry it will trigger a investigation into a possible violation of probation. That wasn’t a thing when I got convicted. But somehow it is now. It’s a machine that feeds on tax dollars at the expense of citizens that feed it and it’s ever evolving punishment. When does a civil matter become punishment? When does a punishment become unconstitutional? It’s all a ploy to absorb funding to expand the reach of control into everyday lives. These politicians need removed.
