Why is a federal hearing in a California court?
So if Judge Bernal decides to eliminate SORNA in ca or allows it in California, then either they appeal or the Pacific Legal Foundation , will file an appeal correct? Either way nothing‘s gonna happen anytime soon in regards to it correct? And if the judge decides for it in California, does the temporary injunction still stay in place? Until he renders the final decision from the appeals? Someone please respond!! Thank You
You all might enjoy watching/listening to this federal court hearing. I listen to the last one online while on vacation a couple years ago. It was very amusing hearing the judge ask good pointed questions about SORNA of the Department of Justice lawyer, putting her on the spot so her responses sounded quite ridiculous as noted by the judge! Very amusing to watch. 😆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have asked several times if there’s any chance SORNA can help former residents of California to be relieved of the requirement to register.
According to the Public Defender San Diego the law specifically states that only the residents of California qualify. She said moving to California would remedy that but as a 70 year old disabled Veteran living in Florida, a cross country move is impossible.
Bummer that the hearing got pushed back and may still be kicked down the road.
Instead of a month, they should post what YEAR this hearing is going to be held. There’s only about 300 million more yrs before our planet is consumed by the sun, so the Feds better hurry!
Judge Bernal issued a ruling some time ago that prevented the feds from imposing FTR charges on those who have been de-registered, as they no longer can, by CA court order, be registered anywhere in the state. The feds didn’t like it and attempted to jam up a person no longer required to register, by stating that he failed to register, simply because the feds wanted him to be registered.
Judge Bernal basically told the feds to go get bent when it comes to people who have been through the legal process of de-registration in CA cases, as they have no chance of ever walking into a LE office again and getting someone there to register them ONLY under the guidelines of the federal level.
The feds maintain no LE offices where one can register, so CA people who have been afforded the winning of their de-registration case simply cannot go to any LE office in CA and become registered again.
Judge Bernal is supposed to be issuing a final order that I believe would restrict the feds nationwide, (I could be wrong on this here), so that people in their state of conviction who also enjoy de-registration, cannot get jammed up by the feds because they are no longer required to register in their state.
The feds don’t want people from CA who enjoy the de-registration to be able to travel across the country willy-nilly without having eyes on every move they make.
The ruling from Judge Bernal DOES NOT relieve a person of the obligation to register in another state should the CA person decide to move there. The protection only applies to de-registered people who remain in CA.
Another states’ laws regarding prerequisites to register still remain those of that state.
Thank you for posting this notification, ACSOL!
July 14 also happens to be 🇫🇷 Bastille Day – France’s equivalent of America’s 4th of July – celebrating the victory of the French people’s Revolution against oppression. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
More than 250 years later and we are still fighting government oppression. 😒
Funny how nobody responds to the third question in this thread which is like the most important!🤦
And What if I decide to Record the hearing Anyhow?
If I want to record it Nobody can stop me from doing so.
