Attorney General Alan Wilson announced today that he has joined a 14-state friend-of-the-court brief at the United States Supreme Court in defense of the right to pray within your own home.
Another midterm stunt from our self-righteous elected shepherds who think prayer and religion is “under attack.” I look upon this with shock and utter disbelief. So once again we see the red states all ganging up and filing a brief with SCOTUS over petty grievances. So it’s not just with the Halloween sign thingy.
Also, while you’re there, head over to this nugget:
Once they show up at your door, it’s already too late.
You would thiink that 880,000 number would be over 5 million by now the way they’re cranking them out. It’s like a conveyor belt in a factory for new people on the list! Every other one is a seperate SCAM charge so just a heads up if you live in SC they’re really going after this stuff hard and heavy. If you read all the news briefs, you’ll notice how the NCMEC is behind most of the arrests stemming from referrals through tattle tales.
The Sex Offense Registry is worse than parole or probation. Sure you have freedom, however, you have residency and presence restrictions depending on the state, some have GPS or mandated ” treatment”, you can travel but you have to give the state your travel docs and if you stay longer than a second you’ll get a FTR, and you may get of the registry in your state but if you travel it can land you back on another state’s registry. All of this bull crap is designed to set one up in the registry California style of Hell!! It’s freaking time to call a spade a spade that the Sex Offense Registry is pure punishment based on lies and for profit. Smith V Doe has got to go along with Chief Justice Roberts and his price club membership ilk.
For those who may have been wondering what happened to the sexual offense charges against Colorado’s US Congress congresswoman’s son ….._______________ has also been charged in Garfield County with sexual exploitation of a child and contributing to the delinquency of a minor for allegedly making and sharing video footage of him having sex with a 17-year-old girl when he was 18. An arraignment in that case has been delayed until Oct. 8 so he can find a lawyer.
I’m just wondering what exceptional special treatment he will be receiving.
Let’s see….
More LE are being investigated, arrested, and charged for misusing commercial public surveillance software for inappropriate searches after major news publication investigation.
LE is taking phone numbers from arrests and then using it for his own inappropriate desires.
Major commercial public surveillance companies are donating to public entities left and right to garner influence of those people who could electorally benefit most while deciding which surveillance company gets govt biz.
Yup, another day in ‘Merica…
The exact definition that underpins classical constitutional theory.
The distinction captures a core legal principle: true civil laws govern the general population (all citizens) to regulate society, business, and daily interactions. Penal laws apply strictly to defendants—individuals who have been formally accused or convicted of a specific crime by the state.
This fundamental difference highlights why the registry’s “civil” label is so structurally flawed:
The Real Difference, Law Type – Who It Governs -The Trigger – The Ultimate Goal
True Civil Law –
All Citizens – Living/doing business in a jurisdiction. Public order, commerce, health, and dispute resolution.
Penal Law –
Criminal Defendants – Conviction of a specific offense. Retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, and punishment.
Why SORA Fails the “Civil” Test –
If you apply your standard definition to SORA, it immediately exposes the legal fiction:
By targeting only defendants and embedding itself directly into the criminal sentencing pipeline, SORA fits every traditional definition of a penal law. The only reason it isn’t formally treated as one is that courts created a loophole to allow the state to bypass the strict constitutional protections—like the right to a jury trial—that are supposed to protect defendants from the weight of penal laws.
Bottom line – SORA only governs criminal defendants upon conviction of a listed criminal offense – penal law!
“The only reason it isn’t formally treated as one is that courts created a loophole to allow the state to bypass the strict constitutional protections” Let that sink in next time you go to court begging for relief!
Let’s see…another LEO busted for tracking an Ex using Flock; Flock being hypothetically used to surveil protestors; HSV, AL wants to charge a gent $1M for the data Flock gathers; and Flock competition gets more business due to the blowback, but the principle of it all will continue to stir the nest among the people. Another day in ‘Merica among the surveillance community.
The Latest Victory: Michigan’s Total Enforcement Freeze (September 2026)
Just days ago, the Michigan Supreme Court handed down a massive, unanimous ruling in People v. Eddie Lee Smith. The court drew a definitive line in the sand, ruling that the state’s 2021 SORA amendments are unconstitutional retroactive punishment
The Reality: The Michigan State Police announced they are being forced to immediately comply with the court’s order and begin scrubbing thousands of names off the registry if their crimes occurred before July 1, 2011. [1]
The Legal Fact: The Michigan Supreme Court explicitly stated that lawmakers cannot take a crime committed 15 or 20 years ago and attach massive, life-altering registry updates to it under the guise of a “civil” paperwork requirement.
???
I could be wrong about this but I was doing random searches and if correct I read that somehow without any notification of changes or anything… the federal has added that if even a ‘license’ is over 3 days old it triggers an automatic investigation. How is this even legal?! Mind boggling. Take this with a grain of salt cause I’m half asleep at the moment.
The crime deterrent? The certainty of getting caught (Fortune online article written by Flock Safety)
I, personally, would beg to differ on the application and use of such software and hardware given the history of it we’ve seen of late. Conveniently, they seem to focus only on one facet and not the entire big picture which shows ignorance at best, in my opinion.
We watched The Pianist last night, Roman Polanski’s holocaust movie based on true events and the life of a Polish-Jewish pianist. It would not be accurate or fair of me to compare the pain of being a pfr to the horrors of the holocaust and the torture and murder of 6 million jews, but I noticed some parallels:
Early on they were not allowed in public parks, then came the residency restrictions and round ups, along with visible identifiers. The movie was excellent, but it enrages me that people can be so inhumane.
Flock cameras at playgrounds not to look out for bush lurkers, but to make sure kids don’t twist a swing. The Flock CEO must have had hot buns or a lot of skin came off at playgrounds. Safety is not a fundamental right, but the government and nosy people want to police everything and anything.
SORA, the law that changed all the rules
Where Human biological nature of “failing” to remember the date is now defined as a felony offense!
Harmless human nature that hurts NO ONE, an actual felony offense!
Adding salt to the wound these pirate run courts laugh in our face while they send these members of the public to prison under the guise of public safety.
Sending members of the public to prison for being human was never about public safety and it is certainly NOT a civil act of the government!
National Criminal Justice Training Center states: “SORN programs typically experience significant challenges related to staff turnover, inadequate resources, court challenges, and lack of skill development opportunities.”
Sucks to be them, huh?? 😝😡 I just can’t work up any sympathy for them.
I submit this comment not merely as a matter of personal concern, but as a matter of constitutional concern affecting the People of the United States.
Recently, six law enforcement officers appeared at my residence. My gate was locked. Rather than stopping there, officers traversed neighboring private property to gain access beyond the gate and proceeded down my driveway to my home. Three officers then moved into areas beside or behind the residence, including the carport area.
I am not on probation, parole, post-release supervision, or any form of criminal paper. More than twenty-two years have passed since my conviction, and my state’s ten-year post-release period expired approximately two and one-half years ago. Yet government agents still entered portions of my property under the authority of a registry system whose constitutional character remains unclear.
While this event occurred at my residence, the larger concern extends beyond me. If a governmental system can authorize such actions, then every American should be concerned with the source, limits, and constitutional foundation of that authority. The issue is not simply what a statute says. The issue is how the system functions in practice and whether that operation remains consistent with constitutional principles.
My National Breach Test identified multiple constitutional concerns arising from this encounter. It is not merely a Fourth Amendment question. It raises concerns involving federalism, due process, governmental accountability, jurisdiction, data integrity, and the continued meaning of constitutional protections after a sentence and supervision have ended.
Accordingly, I continue to ask four jurisdictional questions that I believe must be answered directly and without modification:
These questions are important because the answers determine which constitutional framework governs the system. If the system is civil, certain governmental powers may be unavailable. If the system is criminal, different constitutional protections may apply. If the authority is federal, one set of jurisdictional principles arises. If it is state-based, another set applies. Yet enforcement actions continue while these foundational questions remain unresolved.
The Constitution begins with “We the People.” The Fourth Amendment secures the right of the people to be secure in their houses and effects against unreasonable government intrusion. Those protections are not intended to exist only on paper. They must have practical meaning when government authority enters onto private property and affects the lives of individuals long after they have completed their sentences and periods of supervision.
My concern is therefore not solely with a particular law, officer, or agency. My concern is with a system whose operation appears to implicate multiple constitutional principles simultaneously. When a single enforcement action raises questions involving privacy, jurisdiction, due process, state authority, federal authority, and government-created data, the issue is no longer personal. It becomes a constitutional question affecting the relationship between the People and their government.
For that reason, I believe these questions deserve clear answers, not only for registrants, but for all Americans.
Want a real eye opener? I don’t believe politicians should accept pac nor lobbying. Both should be banned. They make excuses tk accept it but they don’t need too. Check out trackaipac.com you can check each state. Mind you it’s not updated this year. There was one from Michigan that accepted over $36 million in pac money alone. Thomas Massie from kentucky never accepted any. It is illegal for foreign countries to influence them through pac money but it doesn’t stop ‘domestic’ funding. Loop holes.
A raid called “My Family is Safe” and a sweep was made “to protect our children” and for the “institution of the family and social order” was done by the Turkish government against LBGQ adults. Arrests were made and people are being held. The news did not report any LBGQ adults were arrested for crimes against children. If that did happen I bet the news would have reported.
It appears to me the phrase “to protect our children” is used by governments around the world to take away human rights. I do not fall into any of the groups (other than having been registered) that I see governments taking away rights, black, brown, LBGQ, Muslim, etc…, and all of it angers me. What gives the government the right to think they are better than other human beings?
So apparently this is news to some folks:

I don’t think it’s going to be news to any of us!! 😡
I created this website to replace the old Registrant Travel Action Group Matrix that helped RSO’s find out if they’re able to travel to foreign countries. The original RTAG matrix hasnt been updated since 2022, and was not super useful in its current form.
The new version I created has much more recent information, and will be regularly updated. I’d urge folks to check it out, let me know if you see anything that needs changing, and most of all, share it with your groups!
Thanks!
