James November 24, 2025 at 10:07 am on General Comments Nov 2025Holy sh_t, never thought of and was unaware of the good point you bring up. One more reason to avoid being arrested even if no fault of your own. Appears best to just avoid possible bad situations. As one of my prior good treatment providers stated to the group, avoid possible bad situations and nothing good happens after midnight, so be home by then.

TS November 24, 2025 at 9:24 am on Canada: The Canadian Supreme Court actually did the right thing in its child pornography rulingOnce again, the Great White North is judicially leading on this topic where it gets it right for the human rights in sentencing within context and appropriateness. Our own courts need to do the same and those elected should let them do their jobs as such without interference.
someone who cares November 24, 2025 at 8:46 am on General Comments Nov 2025Even laws that are "civil" in nature apply to EVERYONE and not just a select few. If PFRs have to update their addresses, then everybody should to, or it is against "Equal Rights Protection".
Worried in Wisconsin November 24, 2025 at 8:38 am on General Comments Nov 2025Good advice. And for states like Wisconsin with a predator law and civil confinement, any arrest can subject a PFR to a reevaluation and the possibility that the state will pursue civil confinement. In Wisconsin I believe that this evaluation is required any time a PFR reenters custody. Be a shame to end up in civil confinement as a result of a protest march.
JoJo November 24, 2025 at 5:13 am on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration ActTY for the update on your experience, I’m glad you were safe and checked in. The interaction w/pd sounded positive ( Im same year and tier as you) Hopefully by our next check-in this will be officially finished.
Johnny D November 24, 2025 at 1:03 am on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration Act@Josh i think we've spoke in here before, I'm not one to back down or just say "ok", not in my nature and never will be but thank you for the concern. I dont mean that in a asshole way either, but I am confident and good with my decision. However, here is the kicker. I've been busy af in life, have a business, getting a bachelors in business, hair should fall out soon... Class is winding down til Jan sometime so I been getting bored, the other day i went to the local pd out of curiosity, was supposed to go in Sept. and I did not. Well I go in and a new girl i never seen said, you where suppoed to come in sept i think but it says compliant and doesnt have any other options so youre good with us. I said "yeah theres been alot of news about changes and bunch of us are coming off", she said yeah idk about whats happening but thats what it says and I said cool, have a good one and she said thank you you too. So there ya'll go, theres no fluff or special angle, juicy anything thats all that occurred. Anyways, I try to check this from time to time but hope all of ya are well, dont think i want you to do what i do i just share my experiences.

pat November 23, 2025 at 9:28 pm on General Comments Nov 2025"involuntary servitude," "slavery," "peonage," " state-sanctioned human trafficking" or "punishment for the offense" Take your pick, but it IS against the law, and criminals run the courts! In the Ellinburg case, they are arguing about imposing the burden of a new "civil" law on a man, as if it actually matters whether it's civil or criminal, when no one is straight-shooting to the point that the matter is moot. The sentencing court meted out a legal sentence in accordance with sentencing law, and the adjudicatory power of the court ended with the imposition of that legal sentence. That sentence cannot be changed at the will of the legislature or judiciary! They are all distracting from the truth by arguing over something long since settled! Just like they did when they added the registry to people's convictions AFTER they were legally sentenced in accordance with the law that existed before the legislature redefined the convictions as "registerable offenses" Lets sit there and argue about if its only civil, so we can add it to the sentence = distraction from facts! They are ALL outlaws! AND they are far worse criminals than those convicted of registerable offenses because they abuse their positions of trust to corrupt the supreme law of this land and weaponize it against the progeny it was created to protect from such evil!
New Person November 23, 2025 at 11:53 am on General Comments Nov 2025Speaking of not circumventing the law... 13th Amendment: Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. The only way onto to the registry is via a criminal conviction. Since the registry is not considered punishment for a crime, then the registry is a compelled service to the state. I believe reporting anything to the state under penalty of law is a form of compelled custody that is not categorized as punishment is involuntary servitude. In-person reporting is a more physically explicit form of compelled service to the state, also under penalty of law. Once you have paid your punishment duties to the state, then you become a free citizen once again. The registry never lets an individual become a free citizen b/c they are beholding to the state via the registry under penalty of law, which the registry is categorized as "not punishment". The registry is involuntary servitude since it is not punishment for a crime. And since the registry is not punishment, then it is unconstitutional via the 13th amendment. From a layman's reading, the 13th amendment is simple to digest, to understand, and to implement. The 13th amendment isn't being enforced to prevent lawmakers from skirting around it to allow unconstitutional laws to exist.
Tanya November 23, 2025 at 11:48 am on CA: CASOMB 11/20/25 Agency Reports Show Changes in Registrants in Custody, Petitions Filed and Granted, etc.I never answer the door to law enforcement. Never. Years ago I had an officer who came to the door to “verify residency”. I spoke to her through the door and told her I would text her a copy of a utility bill. She said that wasn’t sufficient. I told her I would call my attorney to come if she would not mind waiting. She left and when I went to register the next year, she was no longer the registering officer. I think sometimes we get new people that just want to make up their own rules.
MD Registrant November 23, 2025 at 10:34 am on OH: The latest fad: prohibiting registrants from living within 2,000 feet of their victims’ homesLet's just ban every criminal from their victims including politicians who think and act like they are God. Last time I checked I wasn't a hoe and the government sure aren't my pimps. At least they could cut a check for being a club member of Punitive Sex offense laws and registration.
GRR November 23, 2025 at 10:09 am on International Travel 2025No that is not the case. There have been several individules on this site stating the US still sends out notices even if you're not required to register anymore. Also there have been some former individules who attempeted flying out of the US to places and ended up beling denied entry to the country because of the notifications. For now i would fly to a country that doesn't listen to the US and fly out from there.

H n H November 23, 2025 at 2:58 am on OH: The latest fad: prohibiting registrants from living within 2,000 feet of their victims’ homesWhy would anyone want anything to do with anyone that put them in the situation that landed them on the registry to begin with?
Change is coming November 22, 2025 at 9:14 pm on PA: Bill seeks to close ‘loophole’ for AI-generated child sexual abuse materialsI fully disagree, I think if they made the laws lax enough to allow a degree of these depictions, not violent in nature but maybe more like Playboy type, and maybe a little ambiguous in age depictions like the anime where you can't really define an age, then I think it would help eliminate the demand for real CP. I think most people attracted to minors would go the legal route thus diminishing demand. Who would go for the illegal route if a legal means is available? And I don't believe it would encourage people to actually violate minors any more that a Playboy would cause someone to sexually assault an adult woman.
Jason Shelton November 22, 2025 at 8:50 pm on CA: CASOMB 11/20/25 Agency Reports Show Changes in Registrants in Custody, Petitions Filed and Granted, etc.This post sets off many alarm bells for me. The biggest red flag is that they asked you to text them anything. A while ago, I had someone call me up saying they were from the Police department and I had missed a court date or something and started to request that I send them all sorts of personal info. I told them I would go to the station to present it and that was when they started threatening to send a patrol car to pick me up. My anger overcame my fear and I hung up on them and immediately called the actual police department who informed me it was a scam that is used to lure RSOs into dangerous situations or extort money from them. If ever you get a call from a police office and they ask you to text them something, please call your usual reporting office and verify it with them. If there is something needed to be verified for your record, the records division is who will handle it. If you have called them, and they tell you to text the guy, go for it. Always double check. Stay safe, stay aware, always double check Jason RSO for almost 20 years with no incidents.
Dustin November 22, 2025 at 8:23 pm on OH: The latest fad: prohibiting registrants from living within 2,000 feet of their victims’ homesI like to think I stopped a similar bill here in Georgia, though I have no way of knowing for certain. In any case, I wrote the following to this bill's sponsors: "Congressman, did it escape you that this bill forces sex offense registrants to keep tabs on the whereabouts of their victims in order to comply? Or that Ohio law enforcement must also keep track of the victims of sex crimes in order to enforce it? Can you explain the reasoning of how a registrant can loiter 1100 feet of his victim's residence, but residing 1900 feet from there is dangerous? I could present volumes of empirical studies that show the registry and its associated restrictions and obligations have absolutely no impact whatsoever on the commission or recidivism of sex crime, as well as the absence of any research indicating the registry and its associated restrictions and obligations are effective in terms of their stated purpose. But I'm sure doing so will fall on deaf ears, primarily because the purpose of your bill has nothing to do with public safety. It's pandering, plain and simple." It'll probably get ignored, either due to content or because I'm not an Ohio resident. But I still believe it's long past the time to start calling out idiotic legislation for what it really is.
Ben November 22, 2025 at 7:18 pm on Is the Federal Prohibition on Felon Firearm Possession Constitutional?I do keep a Byrna and it's modified to still be less than lethal but it will stop most men. And for all anyone else knows, that's all I have. Never would I admit to a felony on any forum even if I had committed one. I also keep other legal means of self defense in my home and in my vehicle. How I use those methods may bring legalities into question but I can deal with that when and if necessary.
JBinWisco November 22, 2025 at 6:29 pm on AL: Alabama bill would further restrict communications for sex offenders–Take ActionAs a former AIC, (Adult In Custody) now on supervised release and on the SOR in Wisconsin, my sentencing judge did not restrict me from having a phone, computer, tablet or having a social media account the USPO has the right to restrict and deny such things. As for a polygraph, I was told that Wisconsin department of corrections who oversee both state and federal felons are required to take a polygraph or have the power to order one.not to mention SOT, even if you weren't required to by your sentencing judge or the BOP. The fees keep adding up, for SOT, phone and computer monitoring, polygraph. Hopefully I will receive some mercy from the USPO and receive an early release from supervision.
David ⚜️ November 22, 2025 at 4:52 pm on International Travel 2025I would not risk it. Knowing the way our federal government works, I would not be surprised if they continue to send alerts to International destinations regardless of whether one has been removed from all registries. And remember, this is one of the issues at stake in the PLF v. USDOJ SORNA lawsuit.
TR November 22, 2025 at 4:49 pm on CA: CASOMB 11/20/25 Agency Reports Show Changes in Registrants in Custody, Petitions Filed and Granted, etc.Had a police officer show up at my residence while I was at work. Called and left me a message saying the DOJ was now requiring address verifications in CA. But said I could text him a photo of an official document with my address as proof. At first, I wasn't going to do it. Me not being home is their problem. I do everything I'm supposed to do and I'm not on probation anymore. But the more I thought about it, the more nervous I became. All they would have to do is show up at my work...and that would be it. So I sent the text that night. I get so tired of being afraid. And I have a terrible fear of trusting people because the consequences can literally be life changing. Anyways, I just wanted to share my feelings because I just don't have anybody to talk to about it.
Phil November 22, 2025 at 4:26 pm on Is the Federal Prohibition on Felon Firearm Possession Constitutional?I agree with this if you didnt use violence in the commission of your crime then you shouldn't be barred. This whole interpretation was done to keep drug dealers and gang members in the system but it doesn't work. People still gonna get weapons.
SG November 22, 2025 at 3:25 pm on CA: CASOMB 11/20/25 Agency Reports Show Changes in Registrants in Custody, Petitions Filed and Granted, etc.@someone: An excellent question. When speaking with the person at CA DOJ (not CASOMB), she indicates that there is a very limited amount of information in their databases (in respect to such issues that you have identified). I do not know who at the CA DOJ would have more 'in depth' knowledge/information, if anyone. You are free to make any inquiry of the CA DOJ as you wish, and they will treat such requests as a "FOIA" (i.e., Freedom of Information Act request) to which they MUST respond (by either providing the requested information, should they have it, or informing you that no such information/data exists). Best of luck with your research.
RN007 November 22, 2025 at 2:36 pm on SORNA hearing postponed until after the federal government shutdownWhat exactly is the dispute? Is this the if you move out of state (after your no longer required to register) and you must register then? I have a fully expunged/certificate of rehab. I’ve not registered for 4-5 years. I lost my professional license after my conviction - 253.4a. Reduced 17b - expunged and obtained a COR. Thank you Janice - your phone call info made me this happen, I’m now back working as a RN! RN, BSN, BA, MBA. I work in the ER. It’s an honor to serve again !

Will Allen November 21, 2025 at 8:23 pm on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration ActBefore I became a PFR, I did charitable work all the time. I contributed to charities all the time. I donated blood as often as possible. I strongly supported law enforcement and government. Etc. But for me, the one thing that Registries did best and quickest was to radicalize me and turn me against people. I don't think I was listed for even 2 years before all of the above stopped, permanently. And it probably would've taken even a lot less time than that, say perhaps 3 months, if the Registries had been 1/10th of the harassment that they are today. It's just that at that time, the Registries were just getting going. The terrorists hadn't even enacted any kind of residency/work/etc. "restrictions" anywhere in the entire country yet. Anyway, that was decades ago. I made those choices and I feel good that I did. Of course I will never help any charity or person who will not help PFRs. But I think ALL PFRs should go much further than that. The problem with any charity is that they might help a Registry Supporter/A**hole/Terrorist (RSAT). In fact, I'd say all charities probably do on a regular basis. I'm not going to be any part of that. I'm not going to even take a chance that I might be helping a RSAT. So I'm not giving a dime to any charity at all. Not one. The great news is that I find it to be much more fulfilling and good to do all the charity directly myself. It has been very easy for me to find good people in need. And I screen every single one of them to ensure they are not a Registry A**hole. I screen them for other offensive views and traits as well. I'm in charge of all of it from front to back. F*ck the Red Cross, Salvation Army, United Way, and all the rest. I'm running my own charity and I'm the judge. As long as Registries exist, I'll never be united with other people living in America. I'll promote division and hate. America is in chaos today. They are reaping what has been sown. PFRs need to stop even pretending that Registries are acceptable. Everyone needs to stop pretending that RSATs are acceptable. They are mortal, enemy terrorists who deserve consequences. I'm not going to allow them to live in peace.
SR November 21, 2025 at 6:57 pm on CA: CASOMB 11/20/25 Agency Reports Show Changes in Registrants in Custody, Petitions Filed and Granted, etc.There isn't much of a risk assessment. A judge has no say in what tier you end up. You have X conviction, youre assigned to Y tier. The only small exception is you're automatically Tier 3 if you score 6+ on the Static-99.
Bobby S. November 21, 2025 at 6:00 pm on Is the Federal Prohibition on Felon Firearm Possession Constitutional?I have a few for hunting and protection, I don't give two cr*ps what the federal government or State governments have to say about it. I follow the US and State Constitution and they both say the right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed. Yes the 2nd Amendment is absolute, it is not up for debate and it's not what ever are so called government wants it to be just saying.

Josh November 20, 2025 at 8:22 pm on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration ActI KNOW this….If we didn’t have to keep registering don’t you think the ACLU would have let us know that critical piece of information? They explicitly told we had to. Dumb luck is probably all that’s keeping these guys from getting popped if you wanted to know what I think. I haven’t heard anything from ANYBODY in any position of authority that has said we don’t have to keep going in quarterly to do verification. Goldsmith made a ruling and it was appealed. There is a hierarchy in our court system period. What a federal district court judge says doesn’t outrank a federal circuit court of appeals no matter what some of these armchair lawyers on this forum may knit pick from…pretty cut & dry in my opinion.
Literally nobody November 20, 2025 at 3:44 pm on FL: ‘Missy’s Law’ filed with hopes to prohibit the release of sex offenders while awaiting sentencingAmerica has massive levels of crime (the highest murder and other violence rates in the Western world by FAR) and the government is clearly incapable of doing anything about it—we already have history’s largest prison system, which costs us an absolute fortune, there’s almost nothing left the government can do, so the “tough on crime” politicians use sex crimes as a proxy, even though no one actually gives a crap. There are no dads out there warning their daughters not to stop at the wrong gas station at night because some 20 year old might be downloading indecent images in his apartment nearby.
PO'd registered citizen November 20, 2025 at 1:02 pm on FL: ‘Missy’s Law’ filed with hopes to prohibit the release of sex offenders while awaiting sentencingI notice something. There's something about economic turmoil that makes people become more draconian in their approach to crime. It's almost as if they're looking to vent their frustrations. Take their anger out on somebody else. But my question to these people would be, how do laws like these improve your life? Do they improve your standard of living in any meaningful way?
