You off the registry now?

I find it more interesting that 7 women found his story more credible than hers. Her own gender did not believe her. Says something. If they appeal, they'll appeal the money amount, to get it shrunk.

Go get'em @Athena!

Well that's what the registry supporters would say. But these elected officials work for us and I think people forget that fact, including those of us in the "us" category. There are millions of us - 800,000 on the ridiculous registry, then multiply that number by at least 3 for loved ones, family members, friends, children etc. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of how society determined we are all subhuman and less than and somehow many in the "us" group have accepted that awful narrative. I sent detailed emails to my state rep and state senator last week and have not heard back. Guess what, I will go stand outside their office if they don't respond soon. They work for me and my family. We are tax-paying citizens of this state and country.

It sounds like the accuser in this case instigated the relationship in the first place, and apparently participated enthusiastically in the relationship until he ended it. If so, I don't see how it can be said that he abused his position. Ethically, he should have rejected her early advances for the very reason this case illustrates. A consensual relationship shouldn't be so easily reclassified as abusive simply because of a broken heart. The New York Post ran the same story. Their comments section, surprisingly, are filled only with opinions supporting the verdict. Leaves me hopeful that there may come a day when the practice of "all sex abuse allegations must be believed above all else" may work its way out of the courtroom.

Any of Y'all moving out of Michigan now that the Ball and Chain is off of y'all's neck?

I wasn't asking about that, I asking about the link. But you are wrong. There is a guy lives in Texas from Michigan, he is no longer on the registry in Texas. Since Michigan passed that law. I won't mention his name, but he's a YouTuber. If I'm correct, I don't believe you shouldn't have to register anywhere once you are removed off the registry from your state and from the federal registry.

In other words, despite everything we say otherwise, we really don't believe in rehabilitation, regardless of what we say otherwise.

So, are we saying that those convicted of sexual offenses can no longer be represented by their elected officials?!

Unfortunately for those in other states, even if their offense was in Michigan, this MSC Order affects only those who are/were currently registered or required to register in Michigan, for a crime committed in Michigan, and tried in a Michigan trial court.

Agreed tactics. And a distraction from what, one may ask? Well, just look what’s going on in France, and that’s exactly what many powerful people, both Democrat and Republican, don’t want happening here (and they may be justified in their fear of economic rioting, I don’t know, but I do know it’s deeply immoral to continually scapegoat citizens and turn American against American because you’re afraid of the consequences of democracy).

The Epstein thing is a hoax and has caused mass hysteria. Go watch the Netflix documentary and watch the "epstein moral panic" video on Youtube. It was a bunch of opportunistic teenage girls over the age of consent, and most of their parents knew about the relationships. There has been zero accusations of anything non-consensual. It's a distraction.

The author of that Psychology Today article even recanted. It was just his opinion, not a fact.

Thank you very much, Athena! I cannot say enough thanks for bringing this attention as promoting violence and the misuse of the registry.

Aren’t you off now? You are in Texas? I thought I recall some years back you said you only have a couple years left?

I'm sorry I couldn't make this. My life has been quite busy with taking over the operations of a historic newspaper over the last few months. I've not been able to find the time to do the things I want to do and that's probably a great thing at the moment.

Is this for anyone or just people in Michigan?

I propose a registry for lawmakers who pushed these sex offense laws including former Hastert even though he's dead, Chris Hansen for his wannabe stings leading to others stings online as justice seekers, John Walsh for raping a minor when he was an adult and using his sons death to advocate tough on crime laws, while going after registrants when Adam Walsh wasn't sexually assaulted, and the other members of the ilk. I'd like to see them live under a registry with moving goal posts, restrictions that make no sense, and no off ramp for many. Registrants could track and monitor them making sure that their frightening and high bs stays in check. Oh I forgot about the Vodoo science treatment of having things attached to see if they show any arousal, treatment centers Hotel California style making sure they aren't a threat to taxpayer money, and GPS monitors where they pay the privage of being a club member. Seeing its October throw Chief Justice John Roberts in the club for good measure after all he argued Smith V Doe. Back in 2003 the registry was a whole lot different than it came to be in the last 23 years. Nothing like seeing your case for what it is if he's walking in our shoes with the whipping post of vengeful old lawmakers. No offense if you are old or vengeful.

No, he does not sound like an animal. Animals are not vicious. They are innocent creatures that only hunt for survival.

Changes Forthcoming Written by Quiet too long — 10/10/2026 When a state uses criminal enforcement to recapture and evade ex post facto and double jeopardy, or predict without cause or injuries, and punish a peaceful citizen for a civil administrative violation—all while allowing that same activity to remain legal for all other citizens as a free right—the state alters the fundamental meaning of the Constitution. It twists foundational documents for personal state benefits so vaguely that scholars cannot decipher them. This ultimately breaks the separation of powers and commits a systemic fraud against both the simple laymen who must comply and the free people who remain uninformed of these hidden, creeping laws. These codes grant complete authority to the sole discretion of observing officials to dictate what the law is on any given day. This conclusion rests on the principle that altering a foundational legal text by even a small percentage creates an entirely new, illegitimate document. Presenting a bloated administrative code while claiming it is the unchanged original constitutes fraudulent misrepresentation. Furthermore, a court cannot lawfully obfuscate the distinct jurisdictions of civil administrative rules and criminal prosecution without directly violating the supreme law of the land, excluding juries, and breaking official oaths to obscure the entire event in a civil action. Because a legitimate criminal charge strictly requires a corpus delicti—a real victim and a provable injury—criminalizing a respectful citizen who is not under parole or probation, and who was set free in a public space based entirely on "predictive risk" or a lack of registration, treats a peaceful individual as a dangerous criminal. Taken to its logical conclusion, allowing the state to enforce criminal penalties for civil non-compliance based on anticipated risk rather than actual harm completely reverses the presumption of innocence and the standard of reasonable doubt....

What will happen when Bast accuses someone with the same name as a registrant when they aren't on the registry? What will happen if one of his supporters decides to injury or murder a registrant or supporter? Facebook bans registrants when it should be banning people who act like this POS. Freedom of speech has gone out the window when lives are at risk.

How do you get the MSP web site on google to drop the names and addresses of registrants removed from the registry off the search ? They still are posting registrants info hosted by the MSP website with registration numbers providing their web link but when you click it, it only has the registrants # ??? Many of us are having a problem getting msp to listen after a court order to remove this info from the internet?

He sounds like an animal to me. Just a brute. Yugh....and he's probably trying to deflect suspicion off of himself.

I think you outta keep posting this for a long while. It's a great service announcement.

Considering the number of people forced to register across the country, it should not be surprising to learn that a politician or candidate for office knows, or is related to, someone on the list. What bothers me is the "guilt by association" surrounding the registry, as if people on the registry do nothing but commit sex crimes and if any association with that person implicates anyone they know in those crimes.

I’ll be posting this every week or so for the next several months. For those of us who are no longer PFR’s, I am reposting this information on how to have our names and information removed from the copycat registry sites. I hope you all are living excellently and have a fantastic future! https://c.mail.com/@652107421489046139/n79ZvNq0uPU9XmOwU3EcFQ

In IL, a DV registry is proposed but not the law.

The holding of a rifle with the same sign went from expressing 1A to threatening the safety of the public which is going to draw attention and scare folks with fear. It is the same tactic folks use when the PFR's name is used in vain the same way...to use fear and scare folks in the name of public safety. You don't have to point it at anyone, just have it available to point (even when not loaded) which crosses the line.

I wanted to thank you for doing what you did. Just keep tabs on the people around you, people can be cruel just as in the article of posting where someone works or lives. There was a man locally here that stood in town square with a rifle holding a sign with the same phrase. And even posted it on Facebook. Too the law it's okay to post something like that because it's freedom of speech but once a weapon or mention of a weapon is involved it is then considered a violation of freedom of speech. My family seen the posts on there in the local community part and flagged the posts stating it was promoting violence and even called local authorities. All of em said the same thing... freedom of speech promoting safety within the community. How far can something be pushed before it becomes a crime? Scales of justice are waaaaay out of balance. Civil regulatory scheme and criminal punishment apparently needs to have a definate legal definition. I can't understand why they can't create a system to where it is NOT public. Has to cost less. Less violence. Sign a document stating your not gonna use that info to commit a crime against that person listed. There was a man here that was released(few years ago now) and after 3 months his family noticed he went missing. His family checked on him and went the whole nine yards because they knew the cops wouldn't do anything. And they didn't. It took a farmer noticing a foul stinch coming from his old tobacco barn he hadn't used in years, called the cops. He even mentioned that it smelt like death. When the cops got there... then man was naked, face down(sign of disrespect), had been raped, stabbed...

Everyone here should read Licensed to Lie by Sidney Powell. It details corruption, we're already aware of, in the Dept of alleged Justice. It's 12 years old but still applicable. Just finished it. Highly recommend.

Um question. Wasn't domestic violence supposed to be listed on the registry as well? I think every day this time of year someone will always come start something because my address is posted online. And it has happened in the past. I've had so much stolen from me it's not even funny. I've had my identity stolen and used during another crime literally within 2 weeks of my release(supposedly there's nothing I can do about that which is b.s.). We are technically the only country in the world that reacts last to anything. Why is that? Do they wants systemic violence to spread and continue? The man caused a small business owner to shut down, that alone should be a lawsuit put against him for doing that. There's so much messed up with legal system anymore.

Nice work @Athena. It will only take one of these people he is doxing to pop a screw and lose their cool to take it out on him physically. This is his own style of vigilantism and one day it will come back to bite him if he's not careful.

Frankly, his background needs to be thoroughly checked all the way back to the day he was born to find any transgressions he has committed to see how imperfect he is. Any transgressions revealed need to be broadcast and him castigated about his hypocrisy. Two or mant can actually play this game to the detriment of society, sadly. He will belittle the treatment, while saying his transgressions are not as bad as those people he is doxing currently in his manner today.

I remember a case I think it happened in the 70s? A black man robbed someone at gun point somehow in his argument he won the case of using it in self defense as crazy as that sounds. All these rules and regulations are getting so out of hand it's as if it's a system built to pull our rights away from us. Nowhere in the constitution does it say anything about gun rights ONLY for non felons. The felony bit I believe personally is being weaponized against us in order to make us weaker and more suseptible. I can understand violent cases and stuff sure. But if you can't work how are you supposed to provide yourself? That's the purpose of it is for hunting or self defense; anything outside of that should be considered a crime. Bu it's gone way past that. AND it's not evn just about the gun rights. If you wanna dip further the system has become so constricting that people in cities have to apply for a permit just to grow a garden or have chickens. Permit AND license just to mow a yard?! It becomes more restricted everyday. And most don't realize it until you feel the oppression. Where I live in the country you still have to have a business license to have a yard sale if it lasts more than a day. Business license alone cost $75?! And then you gotta report what you made? How does that allow for free income? And it's not just me and experience. It's happening all across the country every day. As well as deception by higher officials feeding it. I seen a case where a college kid was changing his tire in a parking lot. Cop came up and simply asked him if he...

Personally I think Bast and his supporters should be arrested for misusing the registry because it clearly states not to harass registrants and is a " crime". I put crime in quotes because law enforcement rarely gets off its ass to enforce the law and I apologize for cursing. I sent the reporter an email thinking him for writing the truth on a sticky unpopular issue, which wouldn't be if the government stayed out of cases and passed laws based on emotions as well as myths. Even though you hate Facebook the registrant community needs loved ones and supporters to make their voices heard on social media. Together we can maybe plant seeds in a few heads, but it's better than doing nothing. United we stand, divided we fall and the registry continues its yearround chaos!! Have a great weekend. Take care, MD Regisrant

Maybe everyone in every video should be checked before videos are posted so no videos could be posted because no one could throw a stone in a glass house and not break a pane. "You were caught cheating in college! No, you cannot be on the video! You were caught cheating on your spouse! No, you cannot be on the video! You were caught stealing! No, you cannot be on the video! You are a bad parent! No, you cannot be on the video!" Give me a bloody break. If people hadn't seen or known about him in the video would the message about property taxes still be the same? It has changed because he stood there with his wife who was talking with the candidate, not him.

That is what they are afraid of. Some semblance of really representing the entire public. If voting rights for all across the nation were restored post-sentence completion as a lot do, then being able to run for office could go with it as some states also do. Again, Tenth Amendment comes in for how the states govern themselves so they restrict local and state offices, but cannot federally which relies on the US Constitution for guidance. I say more of those with felony convictions should run for WDC offices, US Sen or Rep, instead of local. When Fed law starts getting changed which impacts local and state policies, attention will turn to those folks, IMO, and the good they do despite their history. If this country wants to truly reclaim the land of second or third or fourth chances, then they need to act like it instead of preaching it and then being hypocrites about it. However, I will say those with felony convictions should press the issue publicly in loud terms for all to hear if they want to run for local or state office where they cannot.

So I have a theory as to why this label has been amplified and magnified by both society and the media. It's all because of the big let down of the TrumpStein files not being released so everyone with this label now is deemed complicit with doing Epstein level shi* and the mere association with someone with this label confirms that there's a conspiracy to "hide" or deny "transparency" from the public. I personally feel that the term: *ex *ffender has become the new "N" word.

Internet stirpots need to get real jobs and let the process move forward. I'm tired of True Crime YouTubers taking a case and making wild accusations like they did with Gabby Petito and other cases including the Siders Case.

A person wrote on Facebook Prison Getting Out pen pal page for a friend with " no creeps or CHOs." Most people don't go online asking others to send them money, have pictures that look strippers central, and claims of wanting a real relationship when they get released; which of itself is pretty creepy.

Dodo the clown is a beta male he targets low hanging fruit if he had any balls he would target the Epstein class players ….. total coward.

Having the same issue!!! I sent a very detailed email to google with legal back up, screenshots, etc.. MSP say same thing and will not remove the remaining registration #. At a loss.

Yes id explain to them its still got the registration number with there web site hosting it. It is against the court order to still be providing this info and you will retain a attorney if it doesnt get taken care of soon.

As an update, we circulated this article among our IL community with instructions on how to report his FB posts promoting violence (he carries a sign and sells merch saying "Dead Pxxx Don't Reoffend"). Several of his posts have been taken down by FB. However, you can see how many followers and supporters he has and their posts are harmful too. Some people really are a disappointment to humanity. In addition, we sent an email to the Illinois State Police, who is responsible for the IL registry. Their web site states it is a crime to use information from the registry to commit a crime. We laid out how this person is promoting violence using data from the registry and is stalking people on the registry (a class 4 felony). Not holding my breath for a response, but they have to know and it is on them if someone gets hurt and we have the documentation to show it. Lastly, we have reached out to the reporter of this article, who is reasonable and intelligent and we may use him to promote another side of the story including a follow up on how this Klown is committing felony acts. I am not a FB user, I hate the platform and the group think mindset it creates, but I may have to sign up simply to report posts like this.

Comments are open on the article, speak your mind!

He should put this much effort into getting a job.

I believe one law that was passed long ago should be challenged all the way to the Supreme Court, specifically the Adam Walsh Child Protection and safety Act. There are so many things wrong with the law. The particular section I am talking about is where a person who is married to a foreigner is not allowed to bring his spouse to the US unless he can prove that he is not a risk to his spouse, if he has been convicted of a sex offense against a minor. It is applied retroactively to offenses committed before the law was effective, under the guise that it is not punishment. When you take away a right that all other citizens enjoy, to me that is punishment. It is not intended to protect a child, even though your offense was against a child. You could have a child with your foreign spouse and your child is acUS citizens, so they can’t prevent you from bringing your child to the US, but you can’t bring the child’s mother. If you rape an 18 year old, you are not excluded and you are not a threat to the safety of your spouse? But if you molest a 17 year old, you are a threat. You can be a convicted murderer or drug dealer and not be a threat? You can be married to your souse for 20 years and your conviction could be 30 years old or more with no new offenses and you would still be considered a risk. The law gives too much power to the one who makes the decision. There is no criteria in the law regarding how you are deemed no risk. The Secretary of State has the total power to make up what ever rules he wishes, and...

We have called msp 4 times and each time they tell us he is not there. Google says it is! I have sent many emails to Google with the same outcome. AI is telling us it is still on msp website also.

This behavior by Bast is crossing the line. Bast is getting his info from the registry or someone informing him of somebody on the registry for use of harassment. This type of harassment is not for public safety and yet the state allows this harassing behavior to persist. Bast has caused harm in the community, which includes those not on the registry. Bast has created a mob-on-demand to further perpetuate ostracization. A registrant earned enough money to become a part owner of store only to have his store shuttered by mob-on-demand harassment. The registry being available online for all to see all day and night is akin to being put in a stockyard all day and night in the town square. The latter is deemed punishment, but SCOTUS doesn't believe the registry is the town square for the world and it stays there for decades or life. This is another piece of evidence for ACSOL to use in a potential SCOTUS law suit to revisit Smith v Doe, 2003. Bast does not believe any registrant can be rehabilitated, as stated in Smith v Doe, 2003's 'frightening and high' 80% or higher recidivism rate by Psychology Today article, which was non-peer-reviewed. Non-peer-reviewed means it has not been evaluated, checked, or critiqued by independent, qualified experts in the same field before being published. SCOTUS did not do their due diligence on facts. Being ignorant of a source not being peer-reviewed is legal malpractice. SCOTUS has brainwashed the public and it is allowing registrants to be harassed as well as harassed out of employment. Registrants out in the streets again have paid their dues to society, but the courts, government and society will not let them move forward - instead, they wish to keep registrants as non-human as possible.

This guy makes Pennywise look tame, what a nut job and check his hard drive along with his supporters in the name of public safety. After all it's a balance, but we must err on the side of public safety accoring to a law maker or DA. Excuse me you can't have balance if it errs to one side and not even otherwise it isn't balanced. You pissed off this Libra. Illinois needs to get rid of the clowns you have in Springfield and get your circus together.

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

I think if more people represented the criminal justice as a felon then the system would change instead of these nothings in empty suits and pantsuits.

The registry does the exact opposite of its supposed goals making housing, employment, and social life unstable which impacts rehabilitation. Our lawmakers and courts are full of emotional pandering rather than facts, which impacts everyone.

For those who support it I believe the funding should come out of their pocketbooks.

Well said... Very well said

You could win emotional arguments with proving cognitive dissonance. The lie heard the world round is that registrants are irredeemable due to the 'frightening and high' 80% or higher recidivism rate. This is what people who do not divulge into the history of Smith v Doe, 2003, but they espouse the emotional crux of that decision that registrants cannot be rehabilitated. The courts don't want to find the truth because they will caught with cognitive dissonance. This is why this Idaho court dismisses there is a consensus of new recidivism studies are low, but also does not want to address if the 'frightening and high' recidivism rates are currently true. It is easy to strip away rights and treat people like animals when you redefine them as animals, which is what the Smith v Doe, 2003 decision did when citing the recidivism rates were "frightening and high" of 80% or higher recidivism rates. If a class is deemed irredeemable, then they have no rights to protect. SCOTUS brainwashed the country that registrants are not equal citizens just like how SCOTUS upheld Japanese Interment Camps that American of Japanese descent were a threat to America during World War II. Fred Korematsu brought the Japanese Internment camps suit and went to SCOTUS in 1944. SCOTUS decided 6-3 the ruling was war justified the exclusion. In 1983, a federal court overturned the Korematsu's conviction in San Francisco. In 1988, congress awarded restitution payments of $20,000 to all the survivors of the camp as well as offered an apology for the Japanese Internment camps as the government suppressed intelligence reports proving Americans of Japanese descent posed no military threat. In 2018, SCOTUS finally overruled the Korematsu case through the Chief Justice Roberts' majority opinion, surprisingly, when it was utilized in case against President Trump's...

I'd like to see these morons wear a false label for life and while they are at it they can throw themselves into the trash bags since they are a waste of taxpayer money.

Nothing on SCOTUSblog about the "Misery" Halloween sign centari being granted for review. Anyone heard anything new?

Completely agree but that isn't the way of the court system today sadly. It is a lost legal system and one afraid to do what is needed based upon facts, but relies on radical judges who do what they want and prosecutors who hide evidence as they can while only providing the minimal amount to the defense and being trusted to say it is enough.

Believe me, in the eyes of the public, a business is the last thing we should be able to own. However, they don't understand that that's virtually our only option. Given the fact that we're ruthlessly discriminated against in the job market.

Arguments based on emotions will never see facts for what they are because emotions are too high. Court cases should be based on facts and not opinions. Everyone has opinions, but that doesn't mean their opinions are true. Opinions are like bodies everyone has one and everyone thinks theirs is the greatest. Happy Spooktober!! Don't forget the registry is nothing but a bunch of useless red dots based on emotions out the crackpipe. I looked in the local paper about keeping kids safe on Halloween and it didn't mention the registry. How is that for a Halloween scare?

We’re literally not even good enough to pick up trash? But yeah, it’s definitely not a punishment.

So now they continue to hinder a path forward to those trying to earn a living and better themselves. The lengths they go to is unbelievable.

Get into bed with dogs you get fleas. Flock reminds me of Glenn Close's character in Fatal Attraction where Flock gets jealous when people want their privacy. " Society, I will not be ignored.

Utilizing Megan's Law to harass and potentially coerce an entity to cancel a job is a violation of the use of Megan's Law. The job is a clean-up crew for junk and events. According to the article, the person is a co-owner. A registrant cannot own a company? Public Ostracization is not public safety. This is another piece of evidence for ACSOL to show the registry has gone far beyond its intended purpose.

The Historical Parallel: How "Equal Protection" Collapses When legal scholars draw parallels between the post-Civil War era and modern policy debates, they point to three exact mechanisms: 1. State-Sanctioned Targeting & Mob Vigilantism  Then: Southern states passed laws that restricted where Black Americans could live, work, and travel. State officials then allowed private mobs (like the Ku Klux Klan) to enforce terror, while courts refused to intervene, claiming the violence was committed by "private individuals," not the state.  Now: State governments publish exact home addresses and interactive maps online. When vigilantes use those public databases to threaten, assault, or murder registrants and their innocent family members, courts often frame it as the actions of individual criminals rather than a direct, predictable outcome of state action. 2. Economic Banishment & Destitution  Then: Vagrancy laws and housing restrictions made it nearly impossible for freed people to own property or secure employment, forcing them into cycles of poverty and forced labor.  Now: Extreme residency restrictions (banning people from living near schools, parks, bus stops, or entire municipalities) make it nearly impossible for registrants to find legal housing, leading to mass unhoused populations, perpetual unemployment, and social isolation. 3. Judicial Deference to State Abuse  Then: For decades after Reconstruction, federal courts systematically turned a blind eye, ruling that state regulations were valid exercises of "police power" and refusing to apply the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause to protect targeted groups.  Now: Federal courts frequently defer to state politicians who claim registry laws are mere "civil safety regulations," choosing to ignore thirty years of data showing that these laws fail to increase safety while actively subjecting citizens to extrajudicial punishment. Why the 14th Amendment Should Apply Under a strict reading of the 14th Amendment:  Due Process requires that the state cannot strip a person of basic liberty, safety, or privacy without a fair, individual...

"You do not win emotional arguments with facts. You win them with more powerful and memorable emotion." That is the hurdle to overcome when it comes to PFRs and all laws related to when working to overcome them in court.

Good reading and well written.

Vivick had a campaign ad with a registrant, so I guess we aren't good enough to be in ads, but are fine to use for tough on crime laws and for hate by society.

"Justice for victims" my a$$. If whatever case Placer County is bringing up wasn't worth pursuing 30 years ago, why is it so important now? And frankly, after the idiocy they've shown in the Kiely Rodni affair, Placer Country isn't fit to investigate jaywalking.

Other Courts Should Heed a Federal Judge's Warning About Flock-Enabled Mass Surveillance (Reason.com 14 Oct 2026) The debate and fight is long from over, but the legal system must work harder to stay abreast of these things as they develop and protect the citizen from abuses resulting from their misuse.

Manteca citizens should be ashamed of themselves for their boorish behavior here. May no one there be given a second chance again and they be related to those who are exhibiting this boorish behavior, so they may feel the pain they're having others feel. May the CA PFR population lay condemnation on them through editorials and the like while supporting the Mayor for doing the right thing in supporting a local business of one who is working their way in a productive manner for the local community.

We're all treated the same, as if we're incapable of change, as if rehabilitation means nothing, and as if no matter how much time passes or how much someone grows, we'll never deserve a second chance. Why aren't people who commit murder on a registry? Why not people convicted of DUIs, fraud, or embezzlement? Why are they given the chance to serve their time, rebuild their lives, and prove they've changed, while we're treated as if we're permanently beyond redemption? What makes their crimes any less deserving of accountability? What makes them more deserving of forgiveness? And who gave SCOTUS the right to suggest that people who have committed sex offenses are incapable of remorse, shame, rehabilitation, and personal growth? How can anyone claim to know that an entire group of people is incapable of change? You can't preach rehabilitation and second chances while treating an entire group of people as if they're condemned to remain the worst thing they've ever done for the rest of their lives.

"Oh, look a crime that occurred in 2009 and we must be outraged since SOs can't control their urges and we know that they are ticking time bombs waiting to snatch our precious children." thinks the average idiot. A crime from 2009 and during that time has the guy re-offended. Going once, going twice, sold to the answer is no. Congrats chicken littles your hysteria and fear mongering wins the day over common sense. Shame on you for being hysterical carpet beggars filled with hate between your ears and your head in the clouds of fantasyland.

Well, the powers that be who are in the corner of PFRs need to come together and create a consensus of the lack of reducing recidivism of PFRs by the way of registries. Some create it, some peer review it, make it the standing principle. Not hard. There are plenty of experts who can do this. Bring them all together for a big conference in a room and do it. Then there cannot be a valid way for the courts to deny the principle. As for "burdensome" by the court's standard, are they implying they need to invoke safety of the public at the hands of making life burdensome on PFRs like the military does for good order and discipline (sacrificial lambs perhaps)?

It's an outrage when politicians and judges get doxied, however when a registrant, a registrant's loved one, or an innocent person with the same name or moved into a former registrant's house gets harmed or murder the murderer is hailed as a hero. How sick is society when murdering someone because of sex offense okay and registrants are the ones deemed uncurable? Excuse me, but it's a society that is sicker than any registrant.

Having your info used to deny housing, employment, pushed to the fringe of society, and used as a list to commit harm including murder all do to a conviction is punishment. Not all sex crimes are equal and the majority of registrants have a full deck upstairs compared to most of society excluding Janice and others working hard to fight for our rights. Even with the punishmet the registry and sex crime restrictions are registrants still have a low re-offense rate. Mr. Chief Roberts, tear down Smith v Doe because the registry has got to go!!

Fresno needs to be renamed Fearsno, home of fear mongering officials and residents.

The act of going in and registering is a pain, and embarrassment, but ok. If it were just them writing it in their notebook for reference in case they need to follow up on an incident. Ok. But, the fact that someone can easily find that online and panic and accuse and stereotype is hurtful and harmful. Like so many have said here, we are being continually punished for decisions in our past, for a lifetime.

SC Rep introduced a proposal this week to require that anyone who brings such a defamation case (link therein) and loses must pay attorney fees for the alleged crime survivor (defendant).

Guns And A Large Magazine Written by Quiet too long 10/14/2026 DISCLAIMER:The following commentary represents a theoretical and systemic analysis of constitutional and administrative law. Any references to arrests, offenses, or legal scenarios are entirely hypothetical. Under the United States Constitution, every individual is firmly cloaked in the presumption of innocence and must be considered innocent until constitutionally found guilty in a court of law. When an ex-con was arrested for brandishing a weapon toward another person, he faced additional scrutiny because he was an ex-con in possession of a firearm. Under the federal sentencing guidelines, the ex-con faced an even higher sentence because the gun's magazine was considered extra-large, capable of holding up to 17 cartridges. Most magazines that accept 15 cartridges or more are considered large capacity. While the legal battle in these scenarios usually rages over federal sentencing guidelines and constitutional limits, there is a massive, ironic loophole: all of these constitutional disputes could be rendered completely moot if a state plays the ultimate legal card and applies the superior, amended Smith v. Doe framework that has proceeded from the 2003 rulings. The supreme amended irony of Smith v. Doe is that once a court labels a restriction 'civil and regulatory' rather than 'punitive,' the Ex Post Facto Clause and traditional criminal protections simply vanish. If the state claims its only objective is public protection rather than retribution, it will bypass the entire federal battle altogether. The constitutional battleground shifts instantly from 'retroactive overreach' to a mere civil administrative authority. And they can add criminal penalties at will. Once a court swallows that public-safety rationale, the regulatory power under the amended Smith v. Doe framework becomes a superior controlling mechanism—effectively crushing the restrictive hurdles of both state and federal constitutions. The terrifying reality of this loophole is...

It's been 12 years for me and being on the registry is technically 3 states even though I wasn't public while in prison. I haven't had any violations, I found out I had Aspergers, took responsibility for my actions, humbled myself during my time in prison, and held myself accountable. I don't owe the government jack ship and the last 12 years should be enough proof that I'm not a threat, however I'm sure some busybody would try to find a loophole. I got words for them to worry about your damn self and leave other people alone you control freak.

15 years ago, I was released from confinement. What a journey it has been since in learning the world of PFRs and how messed up our nation's legal system truly is whether Fed or State.

Okay, after thinking about this could the same fight happen if the the Court was to Look at the unusual side of this being registrants are faces with all of these statutory restrictions the word unusual be hard to argue its not"

Thank you, TS. I appreciate you taking the time to read and respond.

Hear hear and well written! Excellent points to consider on Smith and the US Constitution!

Smith V. Doe and the Constitutions   Written by Quiet too long 10/13/2026   The federal Constitution was written and applied to serve as a guide and restraint upon public power. A group of laws Of The Land that should never be compromised by constitutions written by any of the 50 states under this union, the states may impose their own interpretation of the Federal constitution as long as it doesn't conflict or go to extremes of stable law.    When registration (SORA) systems were conceived and or presented as a 10% bribe through federal funding incentives and later defended through Smith V. Doe (2003),constitutional protections diminished as civil and administrative laws succeeded over criminal, punitive and retroactive protections. Specifically bypassing Article I’s Ex Post Facto Clause. And any amended bill added to it regardless of restraints. The states ultimately gave into federal rule placing sovereignty into a fraudulent claim with the acceptance of the bribe?   In effects: All 50 states has done two things in defiance of the state's own rules to remain sovereign , once the states recognized and amended the Smith V. Doe case, And deformed Smith V. Doe beyond recognition, Through a 50-state test of over one million devastating statutory updates to see just what control they can get away with. And to whom they can apply it to.   The states determined the amended Smith V. Doe to be the civil successor and to nullify constitutional protections making the amended Smith V. Doe so superior that it successfully reroutes and rewrites its entire substance so that any constitutional challenges to it remain moot, This is because no matter how you amend Smith V. Doe it becomes whatever the government wills to do with it and never be challenged to a constitutional loss.   The states then hide these...

Maybe society should stop tracking and monitoring those already convicted and pay attention to whats in front of them.

Using the matrix above under the Laws tab, MD shows 14 visiting days initially with three days to update that up to 30 days in a year, as I read it. Using Atwo Zee's 08/2026 matrix here, which mirrors ACSOL's above, it shows the same.

I have contacted MSP hotline about that last week. They said it was Google cache. I was finally removed completely from Google search state site about a week ago. Now, when I search name with first,middle, and last, I now only show up on Guardely! Any other combination of my name and address has been removed from Google search. When I search my name and address on Bing, Homefacts still shows up. I'm going to wait until the end of the month to see if Homefacts dissappear. Or send legal letter to them. It all has to do with how Google and Third-party site recrawl an index the state registry, and finds changes.
