Notorious D.I.K. July 15, 2024 at 4:38 pm on International Travel 2024NYLevel1, are you saying that you have a U.K. passport? Ordinarily, that would mean that you have U.K. citizenship. If so, then they have to let you in, regardless if you are on-or-off a registry. They cannot refuse entry to a citizen.

M C July 15, 2024 at 4:11 pm on International Travel 2024Australia is supposed to be a complete ban at least now and it is in their law. I'm not sure if that was implemented before 2018 or after though. Going the other way it is illegal to even travel outside of Australia at all if you are from there and convicted of a sex offense against minor. It seems Australia might even be worse than USA when it comes to these offenses.

M July 15, 2024 at 3:20 pm on CA: Man died in San Diego jail after deputies wrongly placed him in cell with violent offender, outside review findsThey do the same in Orange County. When in the loop on a violation they put me in a cell with a guy being held for a triple homicide and gang ties. Turns out I knew his cousin from when I was in the Fed’s and he was super cool with me. They won’t go as far as telling them what your there for, they think your going to be dumb enough to hang yourself and tell dude why your there. This is what happens when they cops get their way

James July 15, 2024 at 2:50 pm on Florida City to Consider Significant Increase Residency RestrictionsI am so tired of the hatred in this country. I am so tired of hypocrisy of some people who call themselves Christians. I am so tired of people in this country who live in an alternate reality and do not believe in facts - my deceased lawyer uncle summed up it best for me, "your opinion does not change the facts".
Jim July 15, 2024 at 2:49 pm on CA: Montgomery County man gets $431,000 for time wrongly listed on sex offender registryAgreed. If the registry is not punishment, and just another dry, boring administrative act, like licensing a pet, then the man shouldn't deserve any money. We now can refer to a judge who at least implies that the Registry is punishment and believes the victim deserving of renumeration, if that's the right word, whether he was accidentally or purposely listed. It's the Big Lie, that the Registry doesn't in any way interfere with one's freedom.
TS July 15, 2024 at 1:11 pm on CA: Montgomery County man gets $431,000 for time wrongly listed on sex offender registryThe registry is punishment or the outcomes of being on it are punishment? The latter is what the courts say is beyond their control when the initial action is merely regulatory as intentionally legislated by the states and Congress (where violating regulations can have punishing measures for infractions, but why split hairs). I am not saying you are wrong as I agree with you and your thinking. It may have been a mistake for the gent to be on it, but the mistake was made that much greater when the outcomes of being on it compounded the error via the punishment society placed on him until he overcame the error. So, will the people now apologize for their egregious action towards him and those with him? This gent would be a great reference of the punishing actions of the registry (obviously) regardless if it was intentionally legislated as a regulation only.
Athena July 15, 2024 at 12:02 pm on Florida City to Consider Significant Increase Residency RestrictionsThese residency restrictions make me nuts. Where the f@#k are people supposed to live?!
LPH July 15, 2024 at 10:22 am on General Comments July 2024Who was it that stated or referenced a website that showed which states honored out of state time frames for registering?

Expat July 15, 2024 at 9:43 am on International Travel 2024Not the UK, but I did fly into another 5 Eyes nation (Australia) and stay for a week on a business trip in 2018. That was with an unmarked passport. The Australian border control was fully automated with a passport and biometric (face) scan. I was through in under 60 seconds.
someone who cares July 15, 2024 at 7:07 am on CA: Montgomery County man gets $431,000 for time wrongly listed on sex offender registry@KM - My thoughts exactly. Supposedly the registry is only regulatory, so if there is a mistake done, why compensate someone? We all know the answer. The registry is NOT regulatory, and being on it is pure punishment. I know I am preaching to the choir.
Facts should matter July 15, 2024 at 7:01 am on General Comments July 2024"They were already on their way to the neighbors houses on both side of mine with a print out of my profile when I reached the door." Divide and shame.
Dustin July 15, 2024 at 5:28 am on Convicted child rapist to represent Netherlands at Paris OlympicsRegarding the line in the linked article complaining that this guy's selection "...completely disrespects and invalidates the victim of hos crimes.": Did they think to ask the victim if she felt disrespected and invalidated? Highly unlikely. But even if they did and she concurred, since when do her feelings trump everything else? By that reasoning, wouldn't her feelings be more respected and validated if they just cancelled the Olympics? Or beach volleyball altogether?

Matthew July 14, 2024 at 10:40 pm on CA: Montgomery County man gets $431,000 for time wrongly listed on sex offender registryYou are her client, you are her boss. If not performing how you see fit, fire her. She is not the one on the registry or who was put in jail for extra days. Believe it or not, attorneys can do two cases at once or even handle all matters at once as most courts require especially for civil claims. Judges want all matters connected to be resolved.
NYlevel1 July 14, 2024 at 9:18 pm on International Travel 2024Why do you say that when I have consulted with top UK solicitors that have confirmed that if my NYS conviction is spent and not on the registry, with my UK Passport they cannot refuse me entry?
AERO 1 July 14, 2024 at 8:14 pm on CA: Montgomery County man gets $431,000 for time wrongly listed on sex offender registryThis is very interesting for me, On a probation transfer the California superior court accidentally convicted me twice for the same crime, I spent 5 days in jail and lived with the conviction for 14 years. I should’ve been off the registry 2 years ago BUT because of this mistake Im still here battling the registry. I want my money for the 5 days I spent in jail and the two extra years I spent on the registry. My attorney keeps calming me down she wants me to just focus on getting off the registry for now.
Ny Won't let go July 14, 2024 at 4:57 pm on International Travel 2024Good luck with trying to get a level reduction from those aholes in NY. I initially fought my level assignment. Then they scored me higher based on false information that was proven false in court and again at the assignment. Then I filed for a downward movement a couple years ago and they said since I moved out of the country I was more dangerous. They also admitted that they scored me higher in error but we're sticking to it because they could
H n H July 14, 2024 at 2:47 pm on CA: Man died in San Diego jail after deputies wrongly placed him in cell with violent offender, outside review findsHow is it that this isn't more ammunition to shut down the registries? Just how much evidence is needed that the registries are a complete waste and bring more harm than good? What's going on that these murders and acts of vigilantes aren't all compiled together and taken to the Supreme Court to stop this insanity? Oh well, I'm just one voice and not a loud enough one at that. Emily Horrowitz or Janet should have all this information to give to a stunning lawyer who could petition the Court for a review of the entire registry scheme. But thus far nothing. Why? I don't think it's because they aren't trying, but what is it going to take to get some action on this? Halloween will be here soon enough and yet again there isn't anything stopping this madness. Every year I think the same thing, the same headlines the same fight the same misuse of the system by people out for vengeance thinking they're so noble and just. I guess this man dying in a prison cell over an FTR charge was absolutely completely 1000% in vain and don't worry, the registry wasn't punishment for him, and no... Noone will do anything about it.
not resigned July 14, 2024 at 1:33 pm on CA: SJ County loses $220 million because of old criminal records, legislation proposes relief in SB 731(6) If the defendant seeks relief under this section for a felony that resulted in a sentence to the state prison, the relief available under this section may only be granted if that felony did not result in a requirement to register ... pursuant to Chapter 5.5 (commencing with Section 290) of Title 9 of Part1. So am I reading this right? To be excluded, the conviction must be for a sex offense that resulted in a prison sentence. So would a suspended prison sentence still qualify?
KM in SoCal July 14, 2024 at 12:33 pm on General Comments July 2024So what is Independence day all about then? In America it just means a day off work that allows us to get drunk, grill meat on the grill, hang with family, smoke some potentially illegal substances and light fireworks that may be illegal in our area. Few Americans realize what they are celebrating, and no we PFRs do not get those things. Independence day is ostensibly about remember the lives lost to free us from the foreign tyranny of England. The same England that expected us to pay taxes, but granted us no voice in the choosing of how much or where the money went (kind of like how PFRs are in some locations expected to "donate" to the upkeep of the tool of oppression). We are held hostage by the government of the US, silenced through fear, intimidation and in some place banned from having a voice at the council meeting or even voting for the representative. The OP is entirely correct that in fact we are just as bad off if not worse off than the Founding fathers of this country.

not resigned July 13, 2024 at 1:35 pm on Living with 290: Cleaning Up Your Online Reputation After Ending RegistrationA google of my name got a hit at mugshots.com Clicking the RECORD REMOVALS/UPDATES link requires proof: Mugshots/Arrest records are only removed with Expungement, Seal, No Information, Record Restriction, Identity Theft or Death. All the DOJ mailed was notice of removal from the registry, and this letter is what the DOJ advised to keep as proof of removal. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? Thanks.
Renny July 13, 2024 at 12:12 pm on General Comments July 2024That makes no sense. It would take a 30 second phone call to the parole officer to send the terms. It would be in their email before their next 45 minute break. And it would be the official version, not the version a person registering provided. I hate when people ask me to answer questions that they could answer themselves and this is one of those things that would annoy me to no end. I would ask, "You mean my parole officer refused to give it to you?!" My PO had a copy of my convicting state's terms before I got on the bus to come to CA. Because he ASKED for it.
Perpetually Disappointed July 13, 2024 at 11:05 am on General Comments July 2024It's been quite some time since I have flown, but whenever I did, if not going international I always avoid LAX.....I would try for my departure (and arrival) to be at the Ontario airport. It's much smaller than LAX, but seems to go smoother (at least back when I would fly).

sma88 July 13, 2024 at 7:25 am on International Travel 2024This is great to know! I finally got unlazy enough to do some googling on the subject as well, and it seems to agree with your recollection of going through customs/immigration on the French side before boarding the train. Next time I'm in Europe, I'll give it a shot just to see. Can't do too much harm I don't think. Thanks!

SacTown July 12, 2024 at 8:36 pm on Sotomayor Is Right: The Supreme Court Should Reevaluate Absolute Immunity for ProsecutorsI could be wrong about this but where I am at, the Head Prosecutor is voted in. And He or She runs the prosecutors that are working under them. If the public would just wake up, and learn that one vote that they have is so valuable. If a prosecutor is breaking the rules, then the public should cast their vote in the next election for another Head Prosecutor. Sooner or later the Head Prosecutor will get the picture that the public will not put up with the prosecutor mistakes. This can also work with state and federal elected officials. I say vote out the old and let us all start to vote some one new in.
Way too long July 12, 2024 at 6:17 pm on International Travel 2024I think they stipulate the offense to be a felony. Misdemeanors are not as scrutinized.
SR July 12, 2024 at 10:42 am on Out of Step: U.S. Policy on Voting Rights in Global PerspectiveUS is a country of gross punitive administration. We like to get our pound of flesh instead of rehabbing people. And if extreme punitive measures that we have actually worked, we wouldn't have 25% of the worlds inmates while still not having anything near to the lowest crime among nations.
