    I just hate how everyone on registry is lumped in with the worst of the worst. One person could just have pictures, while the other hurt somebody. But both types people mentioned might as well hurt somebody so they are both a high risk to public. I hate it. Whatever happened to equality, independence, individuality. Whatever happened to Fearmongering being illegal, yet prosecutors and DA and legislation and senate do it all time.

    While some presentations are California specific (i.e. tiered registry), most sessions are beneficial to registrants nationwide (i.e. domestic travel). And the plenary presentations are usually relevant for registrants everywhere. It is also great to mingle with people in a manner that you don't have hide who you are or worry about being judged or harassed.

    Of course, every state has it's own rules for how they treat unusual situations like rehabilitation, expungements, etc. That's why I and everyone says that if you have a personal situation you should consult an attorney. My charts are only a starting point for your research. I'm not an expert at the PLF case but note - you said "... a person with a CoR and case dismissal cannot be put back onto the registry." As Janice always stresses, every state's registry is completely separate and distinct. If you travel or move to another state, that state isn't "putting you back on" your previous state's registry, they are putting you on their registry for the first time.

    Ah, but you see, the argument is that viewing it is morally damaging to the viewer. (I personally disagree with that, but "Not my circus, not my monkeys" as the saying goes.). Also, numerous studies have shown that playing violent video games DOES NOT make one more prone to commiting actual, real world aggression/violence. So why would it be believed that viewing AI-generated something would make one more likely to act upon something in the real world?

    Hello, Atwo Zee, I have a question about the 38 out of 50 states and conviction. Does "ever convicted" apply to those who have had their cases dismissed or cases dismissed with a Certificate of Rehabilitation (CoR)? In the ongoing PLF case, the government recognized and acknowledged that a person with a CoR and case dismissal cannot be put back onto the registry. Granted, that's federal SORNA and not state SO laws, but there are 18 states that have substantially complied with SORNA. Some of those states are Florida, Alabama, and Colorado - states that have been labeled having onerous laws in your blog charts. Thank you in advance for your response as well as your time. And I'm very grateful for all the research work you've put into your charts!

    I am still required to register for several years, but since I moved out of the US and I was not previously living in a state that permanently keeps me on the registry, I am and have not been on any registry, state or national, since I left a few years ago. I do still suspect that AV sends notices when I travel. For example I recently made a quick trip back to the US for family reasons but wasn't in any state for long enough to register so again, I wasn't on a registry and didn't have any one to provide notice to, but went through Germany on my way out and was hassled quite a bit when I entered. I have no doubt this was because of an AW notice that they sent without me being on a registry or providing notice of international travel

    From what I read about the visa, it wouldn't be for old folks with passive income like myself. Or even someone that wants to work in the Netherlands. You would have to be willing to start a business or be a self employed entrepreneur. Then you have to shell out 4500 Euro (over 5 grand) to invest in who knows what kind of Dutch company. I guess those funds get tied up for 2 years. Then you have to pay a $500 fee. Most importantly, the country is very expensive to live. Honestly, it sounds like a total rip off for only a 2 year visa. I would rather use the current system of staying 180 days out of the year in Holland with no strings attached, even if I have to leave the country every 90 days. The only positive thing about this visa is that it requires no FBI check. That's very unusual for countries issuing long term visas.

    To be fair, California has been at the forefront of giving a lot of people 2nd chances, even for sex crimes. You'll clearly see that in comparison of sentencing guidelines across the nation, and California usually comes out more lenient. We have a 10 year mandatory prison sentence for cp possession in Arizona, whereas Californians would likely get probation. So I would count my lucky stars if I was a California resident.

    Hmmm.🤔 I searched Google News for articles on "AI-generated porn". There were articles about arrests for AI generated pornographic images of minors, articles about Elon Musk's AI Grok (now xAI) using actual child pornography to develop its AI-generating skills, etc. It appears to be quite a wild wilderness out there. I don't envy the judges who have to decide is a Jonny Quest image too close to real? What about Homer Simpson? South Park? What about "The Timbertoes" from Highlights magazine? 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Im all too familiar with what you're talking about. And I pray to God you are right. I never bothered nobody, ever. Yet they bothered me and even had false statements and even false evidence and I still can't do anything about it?! Make it make sense. Any of it. In a way it seems to me they are protecting the constitutional aspect of a.i. producing the stuff which is the most concerning. There's been conspiracies of people randomly having this planted on them to be found later. Make it known I don't agree with any of it. A man should be left to his own vices in the privacy of his own home, acting outside of the property boundaries and having the technology to crate that material is highly concerning. Anymore I question where the line is between public boundaries and privacy. Privacy of your own home and yet they are able to watch anybody at any time for anything. They say they can't but if they can create a level of suspicion and get a judge to sign off, that's literally all it takes to ruin someone's life.... like mine. I served my time, I was never told I had to be on the registry, it's not even on my paper work. Even the punishable offense hadn't even been official yet. I was snagged before anything was ever said or done. Their word over ours because of 'immunities'.

    Reading this made me laugh. Honestly. A man wears a shirt that says that in my local town, even bearing a gun. And no local law enforcement touched the guy because they said he was expressing freedom of speech and no actual threat to anyone. But yet this guy in the article simply wore the shirt and spoke up against he believed our administration sold us out to another country...which is coming more and more obvious. Filed a complaint on Facebook about the guy in my local town doing that, even with the rifle, and they mentioned that they couldn't do anything because he was simply expressing his freedom of speech. I get security and all that but if you were an innocent leader of the free country with nothing to hide then why bother? He knows he's guilty of violating the trust of millions of Americans and so are the rest of the scum bags. When I was locked up I heard rumors of the registry being an extortion tool created by israel but I never believed it. As of late, with no convictions over the epstein files, I'm starting to see it for what it is now.

    It's on the official US Marshal's form for reporting international travel. Some states make the registrant fill out the form themselves, others don't. If you fill out the form yourself, that's where you see it (it's on the 2nd page). If the state doesn't make you fill out the form, and they don't tell you to disclose all citizenships you hold, it puts you in a legal grey area regarding disclosing all of your citizenships; the feds require all citizenships, but your state doesn't. Who's authority prevails? State law is supposed to control your registration obligations (the Feds won't take information sent directly by the registrant, you're obligated to inform your state registry), but even that is a bit shaky. I'm not giving legal advice, but my best understanding is that if you provide only what the state requires, that's at least a credible defense against the Feds if they try to prosecute you for failure to report international travel.

    The conference is so refreshing. I almost passed up the opportunity to attend my first conference. What a mistake that would have been. Before the conference I felt isolated and alone. At the conference I met people who are my friends to this day. But more importantly, I learned that I was not alone. I learned that there is an important network of people including lawyers and educators working to defeat the registry and restore our constitutional rights as citizens. Please, please attend the conference if you are able. You will be amazed at what is being done every day on our behalf.

    Dear Volare, this is my third attempt to post a reply but my previous attempt got caught in some kind of website glitch. First I must take you to task for attempting to use AI to answer a question with complicated registry implications. You deserve a real answer to your real question. The most important thing you need to know is that being off FL’s registry (congrats, btw) helps you not one little bit in any other state. Why is this? Because 38 of our 50 states have registry laws that read (paraphrasing), if you were EVER CONVICTED of a registrable offense in another state, then you must register with us when you come to our state and overstay our grace period. EVER CONVICTED. California and Florida are both among those 38 states, so NO, you can't just show up in CA and start partying. When traveling, you need to conform yourself to the registry rules of each state you are traveling in. The most important of those rules are (a) the “grace period” i.e. the number of days you’re allowed to be in a state until you have to register, and (b) any residence or presence rules that may apply. That’s the very bad news about being a “former registrant,” not just in FL but any state. However, the remaining 12 states have laws that say (paraphrasing), if you are registered in the state where you offended, then you have to register with us when you come here and exceed the grace period. You can find those states by using the link at the top of this page to go to my travel blog site. When you get there, scroll down a little until you come to the subheading that says “… Laws for FORMER & LONG TERM registrants.”...

Different entities using surveillance such as this and including this to do things no one would believe but were written about decades ago, long ago last century. You really want to know who and what...then read here in this article. PFRs as citizens need to start thinking about how to protect themselves and their families. Flood the council meetings to voice opinions against these systems, write letters to elected officials locally and nationally. You may get off of the registry, but you won't be off of the their master watch list regardless.

    I live in a town similar name but kentucky. Given I don't know anyone from Adam so I can't be one to judge anybody, no one should in the first place. But I felt I had to put this thought into this. I get the bill, I get they're trying to 'do something' but it'll just be another bill to further restrict a person livelihood. Can't work. Can't sleep. Can't even take a poop without wondering who's watching ya while your on the registry. No one can understand that perception til the shoes literally on the other foot. That's why people don't care, because it's not happening to them. A person after incarceration should have a time after release to be able to provide for themselves and live independently if they choose to do so. Paying for their own food, shelter, and water. Regardless there are human rights. A person should be able to work, and live in peace in society and not have any issues. Yet instead your looked at as if YOU are the problem. Remember, there is no such thing as 'normal' only what is perceived to us through others as a regularity. If that said person declares an education to better themselves and proves it, why not? A person that is so beat down you can't move, constantly watched over, ridiculed, persistently belittled they eventually give up and become a burden to the people around them. Have they not earned their punishment from society? Is a human not allowed to be forgiven at some point and move on? We have all this technology in surveillance and law enforcement and yet there's consistently issues being raised. But yet even the flock cameras are for 'our safety'. They want society to submit and be watched over. Yet people...

    Then he needs to outright state that line of thought. We've yet to hear a politician to say outright the registry is not intended to be punishment, but IS in its ripple effects and then appropriately define who are registered...it is not those who may cause a risk because there is no risk assessment beyond what is the conviction and its related tier. Given ACSOL has worked with him prior, maybe they can get some clarification from him behind closed doors in a meeting. He's not spoken out of both sides of his mouth so far, that I know of, as a politician, now isn't the time to start.

    They are indeed. Many of these are good for hunting wild hog and deer. There are many options that will put out more FPE (unit of energy measurement for ammo) than a .38 special. For basic info for those looking into legal self defense, at close range anything over 30 FPE can be considered lethal on a projectile (that is around 40 joules). The less lethal options get away with putting out 40-50 joules in some cases because they use a large round and heavy projectile, traveling fairly slow, so you get a good energy wallop, but not enough speed for the size of the projectile to penetrate. But when looking at pellets or slugs from a pcp, anything over 30 FPE should be treated as lethal and with respect.....and even as low as 15 FPE with an unfortunate placement can be. During WWII the army had an ammo "lethality" benchmark, commonly called the pine board test. They would consider a particular round lethal at a given range, if it could fully penetrate a half inch pine board at that range. At 25-30 yards, an Evanix Viper .30 at around 35 FPE can easily pass this test, and that is the lowest energy model I listed.

    "...Who may potentially cause a risk". What says we're to register folks who "may cause" vs who "are" a risk? Given the stat data, isn't everyone in the "may cause a risk" category, especially those who have not offended, yet, but possibly could or will? The use of the registry is based upon the conviction, not the potential risk rate attached to. If it was, individual assessments would be mandated to be administered by independent individuals who have no major stake in the business for profit.  He is appeasing voters I believe with his statements given his knowledge of the topic overall.

    I guess all states are different. Maybe he is referring to a 21 day notice form for his state. Last time I traveled to Europe, I had to do use the US Marshal notification form, because Indiana doesn't have a form of their own. I vaguely remember a citizenship box, but it didn't say list all citizenships. I would interpret that as just pick one. For now, I just plan on traveling. But I'm curious to know your thoughts on how a 2nd passport would make it easier to apply for a foreign residency permit? I figured other nations would only request a criminal record from the country on the passport you give them. However, I've seen on some immigration websites where they want the record from the last countries one lived in for so many years. That would complicate things if I was recently living in the USA.

    I've never actually done this but.... it is my understanding that if you fly from US to say CDG and give your 21 day notice of that trip of an arbitrary 30 days of vacation, then once in Paris you decide to take another unreported trip by air or rail to some other country for 10 days, then return back to Paris and then fly home on your previously purchased return ticket, there is little they can do. Not only are you within your rights to change your plans during your trip, the US has very little oversight over international travel once outside US territory unless alerted. Add in the second passport used for your mid-vacation trip change and it adds yet another layer of discretion. Make sure you use your non-US passport to get into the second country and don't buy your 10 day ticket until arriving at CDG. I only have my US passport and by default stay within the rules only because its how I travel anyway. I've read where this is how PFRs have been able to get into SE Asia. Keep in mind that any unreported evidence that might be discovered that your plans were to deceive the US Marshal service can be used against you. In other words watch the paper trail. Plausible deniability.

    Some forms don't have that citizenship box. On our 21 day form that gets submitted to the Massachusetts registry, it only asks for a passport number and photocopy. After a person gets to their 1st destination, the US Marshals are basically done with us. We can go anywhere we want, use any passport we want without reporting back to them. But like you said, buying tickets in advance is a bad ideal. I would rather forego the savings and but another ticket in the first country I land.

    After I was no longer required to register in an state I changed my name via the court and then I spent months changing it on my bank accounts, SS, Medicare, credit cards, etc, etc, etc. Changing your name does not change or erase your past but it does give one a sense, however minor, that you are forgotten.

    "Under the “Instructions” section for “Citizenship”, it says to list your country *or countries* where you have citizenship." and "It also tells you to list “multiple stops” and your itinerary more broadly." Show me the form that says that please. It's simple, book a hotel and provide the 21 day notice to France or multiple other Schengen countries. Have a beer. Then book a flight elsewhere... I don't know about the 5 eye countries though. After you leave the US, there is no obligation to provide further travel notice be it with a US or other passport. Note that some countries will bar you for some convictions regardless. Are you wanting to travel or relocate?

    If your plan is only for home use...the BinTac T9 is great.....there is also a great option by SerpentArms called the Medusa 911, made in the U.S. they sell it in a package deal that comes with a compressor to fill it...it may actually be one of the best options for someone who isn't into target/plinking as well...as it is literally designed for home self defense. Still should practice aim and reloads with it though.

    Surveillance state Lauren Guber. She’s the epitome of ignorance, arrogance — and apparently hypocrisy and corruption. Who’s doing the hiring at the Los Angeles DA and CA DOJ? They’re almost as bad at “serving the people” (and I use that term loosely) compared to Lauren Guber. Lauren Guber is trash (and the last name is fitting — considering what goober means).

    That's very interesting stuff to think about, and I didn't know we would have to list our 2nd citizenship on the notice. There's a good chance I can get dual citizenship through my Armenian grandparents. It's not as strong as the EU passport, but the Armenia passport would still get me access to enough countries. I would definitely buy my ticket & leave from Europe, not the USA. It wouldn't break my heart if I couldn't get into a Five Eyes country. I'd be satisfied with China or Brazil. I would be concerned about biometrics which many international airports are starting to adopt like facial recognition & fingerprints, although I heard it's mostly used to match the person with their passport. But what if I get a Green Notice floating around as a result of my 21 day announcement...so many variables

    We have flown in and out of BOS dozens of times to Europe. We have always entered the EU through CDG Paris. Greece and Italy are fantastic destinations. The return via BOS always has forced secondary and twice searched bags but overall attitude has been mostly professional. JFK was more rude in terms of initial questions but secondary is always quick and they have never searched our bags. Depending on where you live, BOS isn't horrible (we live 20 minutes outside of Boston) but secondary is slow. I have a redress number I use for every trip and file a complaint every time I am sent to secondary regardless of how fast or polite they are. I follow up with a FOIA request after every trip. Waste my time, I waste theirs.

    Yes but not those cities and it was quite some time ago so things might be different today. When I did get pulled to secondary while still on the registry I had come back through 3 different places. JFK, MSP and ATL. JFK was terrible, ATL was a bit better and MSP was the least hassle as a whole where in MSP they made reference they saw it on the screen, they sent me to the secondary but then basically just waived me through secondary after a few minutes of a second officer looking at the screen. At JFK they made me sit in the secondary room for over an hour where they then cross-referenced my fingerprints to make sure I was the same person as on my passport, questioned me at length regarding where I was, why I was there, if I was still under supervision etc. and then tossed all the stuff out of my bags. When they tossed my bags they took all my dirty laundry which was in a separate bag within my bag and mixed it all together with my other clothes then when they were done said 'you have 2 minutes to repack your bag' (when nothing was neatly folded anymore) and get out of here and then walked away. In ATL, it was - send to secondary, ask me some additional questions and just let me go. No bag search, about 20 minutes total in secondary. As far as entry to Rome or Athens goes, I know there was an issue a few years back for someone there but I think there was more to it than them just being on a registry. Rome should not be a problem.

    I was a Registrant that had changed my name by just doing a name change on my Social Security card then taking it to the DMV to change it on my driver's license. It worked! Today I'm not sure that loop hole still exist. Colleagues what stops you changing your name? Many people have stage names, nick names and use separate names tied to their business. Even your appearance on the registry doesn't have to look like your day to day look. I wear a slight beard but on the of day of registry I shave my beard off and dye my hair for that photo moment.

    It's unclear to me but it's a big risk to take. If your state is SORNA compliant and/or requires you to fill out the US Marshals' 21 day travel notification form, there's a box to list your citizenship. Under the "Instructions" section for "Citizenship", it says to list your country *or countries* where you have citizenship. If you don't list your 2nd citizenship and they figure that out, they could charge you with failure to report international travel. It also tells you to list "multiple stops" and your itinerary more broadly. If, before you do the 21 day notice, you bought tickets from the 3rd country to the Five Eyes country, or if you have any records showing you're traveling to the 3rd country, and you don't list it, and they figure that out, you could get charged with failure to report international travel. You're also supposed to provide updates to itinerary changes (rolls-eyes). As with everything else registry-related, that's a felony (rolls eyes hard). The five eyes countries have substantial access to US records, but I'm unclear if they have instant access to your NCIC "rap sheet" (Canada for sure does). I'm not sure but I don't think 2nd citizenship get added to your rap sheet unless you actively tell the gov't or they ask about it on like a background check. But that might not matter. It's my understanding that "soft matches" (e.g. Angel Watch notice says "x person with x DOB is arriving today", possibly other information the five eyes country has access to, the system sees that your non-US passport has an exact name and DOB match) will raise questions at the border about whether you're a dual citizen. If they scan your fingerprints or take a high-res photo, which I believe is SOP for the...

I have flight options and if anyone's experiences with secondary hassles are "better" at any airport can you please share your thoughts? Not a marked passport, still on registry. Also any thoughts about direct flight from usa to Rome or Athens as a point of entry into Europe? I'm hoping for as stress free an experience(haha) as possible with all the nonsense we live w everyday. Thanks

    I agree with the prevention approach, but I don't think those ideas alone can succeed without addressing the minors that actively seek out older dating partners. For example, If a significant number of minors are entering dating apps despite age restrictions, prevention also needs to identify those kids, get them off the platforms, understand why they're there, and provide follow up, not just focus on catching adults after the fact.

    I know that this has probably been talked about, but if a dual citizen American registrant uses their non-American passport, is it possible for them to evade detection and to get into other countries provided they don't leave from the USA? And would that work with Five Eyes countries such as the UK & Australia? Thanks

    Just returned from Paris. France passport control was the easiest I've ever experienced. The EES makes entering and exiting automated and easy. My experience was no different than any other person. Entering the US was also easy at CLT, considering the mandatory diversion to secondary. After a 15 minute wait for no apparently good reason, I was seen and told I was good to go without any further delay.

    Wow, 4000 sexual assault cases among those who were deemed "safe"! Despite all of the safety protocols and background checks, apparently predators have found the ideal profession with which to commit their assaults. But wait? doesn't the registry exist to protect women and children from predators? Who is to blame, Uber, or the registry?

    I’m convinced you can’t have a functional country with Lauren Gubers running around. The registry will end up proving to be infringements to “the people’s” rights, just like Flock cameras, AI, and “risk” assessments are proving to be more unpopular (and wrong). Time will tell. I’m convinced this Lauren Guber jerk will prove to be a bad guy at the end of the story.

    Air guns, bb/pellet guns etc. are not classified as firearms, meaning no ffl, shipped direct to door in most cases (some places have added laws that block direct shipping, always double check) and are not barred from felons off parole...again, always double check as some cities will go beyond the state level laws. As to a basic bb/pellet pistol being ok, for defense, in general, no. A cheap underpowered example you pick up off of a Walmart shelf could put you in more danger. The examples I listed are sufficient for the job, and there are others. Just need to figure out exactly what your personal needs are. Small easy to carry? Huben GK1 is king there. The Evanix Viper in .30 is just in the good enough range (not the Viper X, that one is underpowered). I'd stay away from anything CO2 powered. They lack umph, but often look like a normal gun.....aka recipe for getting into more danger than not having it. You also have to factor in how you will fill the air tanks into your $ cost.....The Evanix Viper can be filled with a hand pump (specialized high pressure hand pump), while the Huben will require a compressor that can reach higher psi....more money. One of the most important factors is, practice, practice, and more practice. Beyond that, there are many many videos on youtube about these and other options, watch some, see what you would be getting into.
