“The state’s attorney general can seek to recover any non-paid fees by way of a civil action. The bill does not create a new crime for offenders who do not pay the fees. ”
Really? Don’t they put people in jail for failure to pay a fee?
Good thing it’s just regulation, and nothing more. Let’s see, you mandate me to partake in a regulatory process, then you mandate I pay for said process. Not because of any benefit requested or yielded by me from said regulation, but 100% based on past activities for which I’ve fully repaid society. Nope, nothing wrong there, right Justice Roberts? They’d be smarter to call it a tax, then at least SCOTUS could more easily turn a blind eye.
And if I cannot afford it, I guess I get tossed into debtors’ prison? I’m pretty sure our Founding Fathers said ix-nay on that.
Man this gets soooo old.

Well, after all, it is akin to a Price Club membership. So it’s only reasonable that they charge for it. [sarcasm]
Let’s see…put people on a registry that makes finding work extremely difficult, then charge them a fee for being on that registry and incarcerate them when they can’t pay the fee…anyone besides me see an agenda here?
I think this new sex offender registration is unconstitutional and if a person has served their sentence and reentry into society this law is a modern day slavery that denys person’s rights under our for fathers to never join back into society and I think it’s wrong to group all offenders under the same law . Some are not child molester nor had any thing to do with under age minors. This law must be changed and North Carolina need to stop being slave masters once again…
