  • NYLevel1Unique April 14, 2025 at 4:51 am on International Travel 2025I just got back from an international vacation. I gave my 21 day notice. I'm level 1 in NY. My passport is still valid and unmarked (not sure why). At border control just got the usual customs questions (contact with livestock, bring back gifts, etc). At secondary, I was asked if I had a new address and when I said no, I was sent on my way
  • NY won't let go April 14, 2025 at 4:06 am on International Living 2025The Michigan registry wants everything. But when you leave they don't g.a.f. about you any more. If you go to college and then you don't go for the summer and don't notify them you're not taking that semester they will charge you with a FTR. Michigan literally wants to keep you in the system forever. But once you tell them you're moving away, they'll just make you look bad to wherever you're going and then give up.
  • BM April 13, 2025 at 7:10 pm on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration ActJosh - I’m not convinced. Goldsmith stated that “the court recognizes this will have significant consequences but it is not unprecedented”. Another judge in this district found SORA violated the ex post facto clause and could not be applied to the ex post subclass. You can read on page 10 of opinion and order. I’m fairly certain Goldsmith knew the state would appeal and ask for a stay. He clearly knew what he was doing and the ramifications. I still feel a lot are putting too much weight into this case and what will happen at the 6th Circuit. Smoke and mirrors for the real battle. To me this is just more ammo for the cases at the MSC. We win at the MSC with an opinion on retroactive extension of terms and its checkmate.
  • Roger H April 13, 2025 at 6:31 pm on International Travel 2025On the CA DOJ form (stored on our website at https://all4consolaws.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/CA-DOJ-Form-2016.pdf) I specified my flight date, country and numbers/airlines for both directions, the hotel I will stay in the first few nights, the tour company and tour name I will be on. I didn't specify all the countries and hotels that are part of the tour. The officer copied the information to the actual form his department sends to the feds.
  • The Truth April 13, 2025 at 6:27 pm on FL: USF Reports Residency Restrictions IneffectiveWhich should be common sense. Just because someone cant live somewhere doesnt mean they cant come to the area. If someone wants to kidnapped, etc. they will do it regardless of some stupid law. Just like banning all felons from having a firearm, even if they didn't even have a gun in their crime) is stupid, because a criminal that wants to use a gun to commit a crime will still obtain a gun regardless. People on the registry should have a right to defend themselves and their families from would be attackers.
  • commenter1 April 13, 2025 at 6:09 pm on International Travel 2025How much detail does everyone give when supplying a travel itinerary with the required 21 days notice? Do you just supply the departure and return dates with flights? Do you supply details on hotels where you will be staying?

  • billb April 13, 2025 at 4:27 pm on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration ActWe knew that the state was going to ask for a stay,So I believe that the ACLU will respond with an opposing motion asking the court to deny the States request and asking for an injunction, Hopefully to put a stop to this unconditional punishment
  • TS April 13, 2025 at 2:53 pm on International Travel 2025To add to the NPR and HuffPo articles of late that have been submitted on the topic of phone searches upon returning to the USA: What To Do If Border Police Ask To Search Your Phone (Reason.com 4 April 2025) Know how much the law does—and doesn’t—protect your privacy rights. Pretty detailed article on the topic for the traveler and generally accepted every day whereabouts.
  • Josh April 13, 2025 at 2:51 pm on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration ActI know a lot of you think that the motion to stay will be denied. But, history tells us that it will almost certainly be granted. Given the split nature of the judgment I don’t expect that Judge Goldsmith has the balls to tell the state to pound sand. Entirely my opinion. We “win” and it’s always been 2 steps forward and then 3 backwards.
  • AERO1 April 13, 2025 at 12:43 pm on General Comments April 2025Getting busted for felony CP in 2021 is crazy, I guess he wasn’t paying attention to all pain suffering the registry has caused people forced to register before he made that one big mistake and now he’s one of those people on the registry that no one in society pays attention to. There’s still a lil hope he could try and get it reduced to a misdemeanor and dropped to Tier 2 and petition in 17 years but if he’s 40+ 17 years on the registry is life on the registry either way. The biggest problem he’s gonna have is he pleaded no-contest in court, When petitioning the court for removal the DA is using people’s no-contest plea to deny their petitions. They say the defendant never showed any remorse or took accountability for there actions because at the time of sentencing for the underlining 290 case he pleaded no-contest. You might as well just get on with “your” life, it’s not fair you both have to suffer for something he did.

  • TS April 13, 2025 at 9:19 am on MO: Amid Calls to Reform Bail, Judges in St. Louis Embrace Ankle MonitorsIn conclusion, the d*mn thing has the same stigma and effect as a registry entry seen publicly... "Research has also shown that electronic monitoring can lead to isolation and prejudice from landlords and employers, said Kate Weisburd, an expert on surveillance and technology who teaches at U.C. Law San Francisco. She raised further concerns about privacy. “As there is a growing appetite to end incarceration, there’s this knee-jerk reaction to want to substitute incarceration with something,” she said. “We can’t just strip people of their privacy rights the moment they are arrested for a crime.”" "National proponents of electronic monitoring like Carl Wicklund, a former executive director of the American Probation and Parole Association, continue to see the value in the system. But Mr. Wicklund said that people with the devices must be able to hold jobs, secure housing and be involved with their families, churches and communities. Without those things, he said, defendants become “higher risk, because they have nothing to lose.”" "At first, the initiative drew criticism because of how it was funded: The private company running the program charged defendants installation and surveillance fees, and those who could not afford those fees could be sent back to jail." - Essentially a debtors prison sentence when debtor prisons are illegal in this country. Excellent article. The conclusions throughout are the same for the registry. How does one quantify the public's safety? Is it truly any better or worse when it comes to those who wear these when it comes to safety? I doubt it. Nothing is 100% unless the data set is dead and buried because then, the data set cannot be a potentially alleged harm. Stanford U helped write this article for the Old Grey Lady and should be consulted further for more efforts to set CA straight when it comes to their legal thinking.
  • M C April 13, 2025 at 9:09 am on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration ActThe state filed a motion to stay the judgment (make it unenforceable until the appeals court makes a decision) pending its planned appeal to the 6th Circuit.
  • Tired_MI April 13, 2025 at 9:06 am on International Living 2025I understand. Not being a US citizen I'll not be allowed back in anyway so it is a one way trip. My big thing is that I just don't want to give them my passport info at all and have that bite me in the future possibly. Again, I'm not coming back and would not be allowed entry anyway
  • New Person April 13, 2025 at 8:42 am on Criminal – Downward variance – Child pornography – Massachusetts Lawyers WeeklyThe judge did provide an adequate explanation for her "downward variance", but the masses say, "Nay. Not enough punishment is laid." Maybe the judge has noticed a pattern and has not the studies to help articulate how once a defendant is exposed for a sex crime, then the the recidivism rate is very low such a 3 to 3.5%. Maybe ACSOL, NARSOL, or FAC can send the judge and Massachusetts courts all of these studies that were not readily available for the US vs Crespo-Rios (2015) case, which was a decade ago.
  • TS April 13, 2025 at 8:36 am on FL: USF Reports Residency Restrictions IneffectiveFor all who want to watch this, my viewing shows the topic is introduced at 1:09:00 and goes to 2:02:30.
  • TS April 13, 2025 at 8:14 am on International Living 2025Why has no one ever, to my knowledge, ever asked that of FLA to other non-FLA elected committee officials who decide annually the money given to FLA in the grants, etc to administer the registry? FLA officials won't answer because it would be interestingly incriminating? Once, IIRC, FLA answered they kept deceased PFRs online for one year so people could know they are passed. Is that truly a government interest point? If so, then, why keep them on after one year? Isn't their obituary not enough? DOGE can't pick this apart because it would hit FLA right in the mouth with the FWA actions they are railing against and the warm weather state where many elected officials reside?
  • TS April 13, 2025 at 8:04 am on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration ActLet's all wait for the state to decide they need a law which will cap payouts to those who'll sue like Maryland just did once they found out how many can sue.
  • TS April 13, 2025 at 8:01 am on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration Act"It presents further information to a judge that possibly didn’t come out during court." - right there is a decent one sentence def of an amicus brief. Those who have an interest in the court case and its outcome can submit these to the court...from both sides of the case where "It offers additional information, expertise, arguments, or perspectives to help the court decide the case". You can find appealed cases at SCOTUS, for example, where these briefs are submitted and available for review at SCOTUSBlog, which follows SCOTUS cases approved for being reviewed. The SOL National Office has offered briefs in cases which are available for reading.
  • TS April 13, 2025 at 7:52 am on General Comments April 2025Your perspective is unique in your stating you were a child victim and not saying you are a child victim still as an adult as most do when dealing in this arena. At the same time you are speaking for your husband who has been convicted and sentenced harshly by a system which needs to be reformed. You can be a great voice for reformation and speaking against the ills of what people, convicted and their family, suffer in the legal system.
  • Wisconsinslave April 13, 2025 at 7:48 am on MO: Amid Calls to Reform Bail, Judges in St. Louis Embrace Ankle MonitorsThe article is pointing out the restrictions the GPS monitors bring. And it seems that the GPS monitor violations, send more people back to jail than prevent them from being in jail. They should come up to Wisconsin. I was one of the ones put on lifetime GPS back in September of 2018. And between that time and April 2021 when I finished extended supervision, I returned to jail twice on GPS malfunctions. One, while my parents were away on vacation overseas and I was taking care of the cats. For 5 days the cats were alone with no food. Between September 2018, and when they finally removed it in August 2023, I wore 19 different units. And since having the units returned due to the new law, in May of 2024 to now, I have had 11 different units and three different restraps, as they keep on having strap errors. So in the last 7 years of wearing them, I have worn 30 different units! And of course Wisconsin charges me $240 a month to wear it! So who's getting rich off of me wearing these GPS units? And do these GPS units prevent me from doing my crime again? My only crime is possession of CP. Computer crime! But I have no monitoring software! Don't give them any ideas! They always seem to find ways to make money off of us!
  • TS April 13, 2025 at 7:47 am on Criminal – Downward variance – Child pornography – Massachusetts Lawyers WeeklyA thinking person's judge...like the one in CA who shall remain nameless who did the same with the collegiate swimmer case and then was voted out because of their actions in sentencing. The court is begging people to be difficult in their cases if they know they are going to be sentenced to the hilt. This stinks of politicization of the legal system by those who appealed the sentence and those who are vacating the original sentence for a harsher sentence.
  • Injustice April 13, 2025 at 5:51 am on General Comments April 2025My husband was convicted of possession of child pornography in 2021 in California given a felony conviction with a tier 3 registration. It confuses me how he could be categorized in such a way. He plead no contest to avoid trial and has no option for appeal or expungment. He has no prior history and has been classified low risk by the court appointed psychiatrist yet he has to register for life? It has devastated his future and our future together in society. I will stand by him because I know this was an injustice and believe he would never do it again. I was personally a child victim and think it is important to have accountability and rehabilitation. However, our system is severely flawed and even with rehabilitation the punishment continues in perpetuity!

This country has gone mad. I don't condone any form of harm to minors or anyone, but this helps no one, including the minor in the image. Our nation is obsessed.
  • MD Registrant April 13, 2025 at 5:33 am on Criminal – Downward variance – Child pornography – Massachusetts Lawyers WeeklyOh gee, now judges have to provide their reasons when their decisions are too light. Will DA's have to provide their reasons why they over charge and go for cut throat sentences with fake or no evidence besides the " trust us we are the government." ?
  • Warpath April 13, 2025 at 4:48 am on International Living 2025Also a mistyped passport number may gain you a visit from the US Marshall at the airport
  • Warpath April 13, 2025 at 4:46 am on International Living 2025I am not a lawyer. The passport the registry is truly interested in is a US passport. However, in the fine print it does state you need to notify them of additional passports. I do not believe this would be a FTR. At this point if there has been an annual check in and you didnt divulge it at that time. I’d say move ahead with your 21 day notice. They will want a copy of your passport allowing you to leave the country. I am curious…,if you don’t plan to come back why not just tell them you are moving there? By not returning when you said you planned to it puts you in violation. Recommendation: tell them you are moving there, give them some kind of an address there and leave the US in compliant standing. Family emergencies may happen in the future or some other unknown reason that may demand you returning to the US. If you leave and don’t come back when you said you would they may arrest you. Don’t give the bastards the chance
  • Warpath April 13, 2025 at 4:33 am on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration ActYou crack me up Will. Thanks for making me smile
  • Warpath April 13, 2025 at 4:29 am on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration ActI am not a lawyer. To my knowledge an amicus brief is nothing more than an opening salvo. It presents a third party view of a judges ruling that may or may not change the final determination. It presents further information to a judge that possibly didn’t come out during court. Once again, not a lawyer so I may have this wrong
  • Silence Do good April 13, 2025 at 4:25 am on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration ActI believe the reason Legislature does not want to fix the registry is because its about money and jobs. Do you remember when Rick Snyder shut down all the Prisons in Michigan. Many of those CO's who would have lost their jobs went to Parole, Probation, and SORA monitoring. Imagine almost 40,000 people coming off the registry. The State will lose all of that revenue plus all of those jobs will no longer be necessary. I also think they are trying to drag it out because of the inevitable Lawsuit that is coming knowing that the State is going to have to pay out millions of dollars. The problem with the lawsuit is it does not come out of the Legislatures own pocket but out of the Tax payers pocket. The State know it is coming to an end. It is also about power and control.
  • NY won't let go. April 13, 2025 at 1:11 am on International Living 2025Just tell Michigan you're moving out of the country permanently and they will remove you from the registry there. They took me off when I moved to NY. Unless France has a registry you don't really have much to worry about.
  • NY won't let go. April 13, 2025 at 1:08 am on International Living 2025Damn you detective Doc. Although you're wrong on the second part. My ex wife was from the M country and many are quite whitewashed and open to marrying white people 🤣 but yeah to even qualify for PR there is almost impossible even when married to a local unless you're willing to plant a few million dollars there and forget about it or convert to Islam. Price wise it's not that bad there either. Meat is cheaper there than here. And so is McDonald's. Like a Sausage McMuffin and hash brown are $1.30ish? The set with coffee here is a little over $2 which is still 4x what I pay for my breakfast if I get it from in front of the mosque.
  • Worried in Wisconsin April 12, 2025 at 11:08 pm on International Living 2025Have you ever seen information about someone trying to break totally free of Wisconsin once they moved out of Wisconsin permanently? I can't remember ever seeing someone actually try, through legal action, make the break.
  • nameless April 12, 2025 at 10:48 pm on Criminal – Downward variance – Child pornography – Massachusetts Lawyers WeeklySo... when an excessive sentence is based entirely on vindictiveness, ignorance, and animus, everyone is perfectly fine with that (revel in it, even). However... when a lighter sentence is based on reason, knowledge, and empathy, apparently, that simply will not do. The gist I get from this is that everyone won't stop complaining because they think the court "failed to justify" not throwing a man in prison for decades of his life before slamming him with an eternity of supervision. Just goes to show how backward and deranged most people in this nation typically are.
  • Tired_MI April 12, 2025 at 10:01 pm on International Living 2025This is a question for the Michigan PFR's that are on here, or those that know the rules regarding the 21 day notice. So, planning on traveling to Europe soon, and it's to be a one way trip. I'm going to go do my 21 day, and wonder what they require on the form. Here's the kicker though. I never updated my registration with my passport info, so if I did that now, it's possible I'd be in violation of the registry rules on when to update (renewed my passport 4 years ago). My passport is not a US one. I do not have a US passport, just my French one, as I am a permanent resident. Next. If I fill out the form and mis-type my passport number, what could happen? I do not plan on returning to the US. Ever. It's a return ticket, but there will be no return ...

Registries is to keep their communities safe, wouldn't their communities be one Registrant safer if that individual moved away to a foreign country?? Why do States want to retain their registrants if it is not for the purpose of getting more Federal watch'em dollars.🤷🏻‍♂️😒

  • New Person April 12, 2025 at 9:24 am on Path to FreedomBased upon what Janice wrote, the individual was designated at tier 2 from the start. Janice applied for the petition as a tier 2, but the DA said DOJ made a mistake and the designation should have been a tier 3. Should have, could have, but did not. The CA DoJ designated him as a tier 2, the petition is a tier 2, everything checks out with being clean for at least 20 years, and the judge had no problem with the petition for a tier 2 individual. Although, it would be nice to know what Penal Code was the mis-designation.
  • Sinceiwas13 April 12, 2025 at 9:23 am on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration ActI don’t have much belief that a Stay would be awarded. There’s too much precedent that SORA is punishment…all the way up to the Michigan Supreme Court. I believe the US Supreme Court has already denied hearing a Does case already, which doesn’t in its self mean anything, but gives a serious question to the potential for a successful appeal, let alone to continue the obvious (?) violations. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t underestimate the legislations reluctance to fix this… But at least for pre-2011 registrations, The Legislature is kind of painted in a corner at this point, IMHO. But if anyone has the link to the actual file to documents, requesting the stay, it would be much appreciated to post that here.
  • Doc Martin April 12, 2025 at 9:06 am on International Living 2025Given that there's only 3 Muslim countries in Southeast Asia, I can pretty much guess where you're at since one of those countries is a hardcore dictatorship kingdom hostile to outsiders--so I assume you're not there, Lol! Of the other two countries, one is more developed and high priced with an elite population who are less likely to marry foreigners. So that only leaves the more poorer populated country with the largest Muslim population in the world. And I'm sure they have plenty of women to spare.😁

  • Dustin April 12, 2025 at 6:59 am on MD: lawmakers pass bill to limit future liabilities amid thousands of claims of sexual abuseHow did they not see that there would be thousands of claims of abuse after announcing there would be large payouts to abuse victims? Especially since, consistent with the politics of the moment, claims are near certain to be taken at face value, with little to no investigation, and even then conducted specifically to support the claim rather than determine viability. And what does anyone want to bet there are tort lawyers in Maryland scrubbing records to find individuals who were in these organizations over the years and are cramming their mailboxes with procedural information to make claims. And a significant number of those claims are certain to be false. But that doesn't matter, as the bill was written and passed simply to pander and grandstand. Personally, I think this is a perfect example of where legislators ought to pay out of their own pockets for their idiocy.
  • Dustin April 12, 2025 at 6:47 am on Guyana: No Hiding Place: Sex Offender List to Go National in Guyana."Children and people with mental disabilities would not be listed." Wish it was like that in the US. Then I'd refuse to register and argue that I am a person with mental disabilities in the eyes of the court, shown by their mandated "treatment" obligation. I know I'd lose - the court would somehow find that that kind of mental disability doesn't count, despite the legislature's omission. But it would still be worth opening the can of worms.

  • Worried in Wisconsin April 12, 2025 at 2:59 am on International Travel 2025Asking again about any effects of the recent immigration crackdown on registered people... With the increased scrutiny being given to all sorts of non-citizens crossing the borders into the US, has anyone on the registry noticed longer-than-usual wait times for processing in secondary? It usually takes me 15-20 minutes for them to stare at their computer screen and then return my passport. Has this gotten worse recently?
  • Josh April 11, 2025 at 8:31 pm on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration ActOne other thing that has been nagging at me is the 90 days for the legislature. Why let them attempt to draft a new version of sora when the last one is still under appeal? Time is not on their side because they also recess for the summer months. It would have to be drafted and run through all the various committees before being voted on by house & senate, then signed or vetoed by the Governor. Seems unlikely given we’re already in mid April. If anybody can explain this to me I’d appreciate it. Legitimately asking….
  • TnT April 11, 2025 at 8:28 pm on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration ActSeems like a slap in the face to the Judge who already ruled to ask for a stay.Maybe do what you should and stop Violating Citzens Rights. I hope one day we can collect damagefor all the time they kicked the can knowing they are and being told many times they are Violating Citizens rights. State of Michigan You SUCK ! I Hope the Judge smacks you back in line. They just wont listen to anyone or do anything right.
  • Josh April 11, 2025 at 8:20 pm on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration ActI didn’t see a link to click on either. We knew an appeal was coming and if this is a request for a stay then that shouldn’t come as a surprise either. I’m inclined to think that the state will get their stay even if we all know they don’t F’n deserve it. it’s just the way this stuff goes for us unfortunately. I’m thinking 2027 at this point unless we can get some help from the MSC in June or July. I promise you that despite these recent rulings in our favor, NOBODY is in a hurry to remove a single one of us. The fear of the public outcry is still real

  • SR April 11, 2025 at 11:15 am on Path to FreedomAre you able to disclose a few more details about this, like maybe the penal code in question? Seems like a curious argument. Might be one others can use to shift out of Tier 3 with the same or similar.

  • Jim Southern California April 11, 2025 at 8:26 am on International Travel 2025Thank you so much. What two countries were you referring to that do not do a full criminal backround for the spousal family cohesion permit? Italy does allow the non Europeon spouse to be on the residency permit for 5 years and it is renewable indefinitely. His conviction was for a 14 and 15 yo . It was 24 years ago. Im hoping the application for spousal residency permit does not include a full criminal background check. Good advice on seeing an Italian immigration attorney. Thanks

It's all done exclusively for retaliatory demoralization, entertainment for sadists and profit.

  • Will Allen April 11, 2025 at 8:02 am on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration ActI don't always mean well, lol. I think anyone who think Registries should exist deserves to be listed on the Registries. Every single one of them. If a person is only worried getting off of the Registries themselves, or being compensated, because they are "innocent", then I'm good with keeping them on the Registries. If a person thinks the Registries are okay and it is okay to violate the rights of another family, then they need to have their rights violated. Personally, I work to identify Registry A**holes/Supporters/Terrorists very often and deliver concrete consequences in real life. Amerika is fully supportive and embracing of hate today so it is quite easy.

It is criminal to have them work backwards in time, along with being cruel. These bill writers have no business doing the work they do cause they are simply uneducated and mean. And refuse to really learn the effects they are have on society. Makes me wonder when a public official comments we all deserve it.

  • Jojo April 10, 2025 at 2:11 pm on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration Act@ Josh. Try typing your official name, not the name you go by . For example Jonathon Smith ( not John Smith) it only comes up, if your official name is typed in. This can be an advantage if you dont use your official name.
  • Volaré April 10, 2025 at 2:07 pm on International Travel 2025I used to think the same -if you’re a registered citizen you’ll just face the same harassment at Customs as before but nothing more. But now I do wonder…the new administration has empowered Customs to such an extent that it can absolutely invite abuse (more abuse). I’d like to read some first hand accounts of returning citizens who are on the registry of how it went at Secondary..
  • Jojo April 10, 2025 at 2:06 pm on MI: ACLU Sues State Officials for the Fourth Time over Unconstitutional Michigan Sex Offender Registration Act@ Annoyed. Not sure your case or circumstances, but anyone who is 100% innocent should be using other avenue. Sounds like you have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, meaning you are like the rest of us. We all paid our debt to society (like you seem to have) This is about furthering debt. Janice has stated, she doesnt care of anyone past, she is fighting to eliminate the registry one rock at a time.

  • HD April 10, 2025 at 1:31 pm on International Travel 2025Hi. Yes, the EU has a family reunification law that enables the non-EU Citizen spouse of an EU Citizen to join them in the EU. Some countries issue a 5 year long term visa under this law and I know in at least two countries they do not require a criminal background check from the US when the EU Family Visa is applied for. I recommend working with an immigration attorney in Italy. The EU immigration website is a good place to start for getting general information. If you are in California have your husband process out from his registering authority, in my county it was updating the same change of residence form I would do at my annual birthday registration and I listed on the form the new address in the country I was going to that I would be residing at. Next I contacted Angel Watch and informed them where I was residing and sent them the change of address document and they informed the state department I was no longer required to have the identifier in my passport (your husband may not have the identifier if his charge did not involve someone under the age of 18) and I applied for and received a new passport. Start the process in Italy before your husband's allotted time to be in the country on a US passport is up and once the package is submitted he should be able to remain in the country until the process completes (confirm with an immigration attorney). Good luck!

  • Ghost April 10, 2025 at 11:16 am on ACSOL Letter to DOGE Requests Elimination of All Funding for SORNAYeah, until it hits your pocketbook.
  • Doc Martin April 10, 2025 at 11:08 am on International Travel 2025Since you & your husband are American citizens, none of this administration's immigration policy should affect you. They're mostly targeting specific (non-white) nationalities with TPS status, along with the political targeting of green card holders that have engaged in protests that don't agree with this administration. A straight red-blooded American with an Italian wife (I don't know about husband) will do just fine with this administration, despite your husband having a sex conviction. I'm only familiar with that Italian Elective visa that requires a certain level of income & no permission to work in Italy.

  • NY won't let go April 10, 2025 at 10:37 am on International Living 2025Hey all, just wanted to say, I finally got my Permanent Residency approved in my wife's home country. Those of you who know where I'm at, family reunification visas don't require background checks. For those who don't know, Asalamualaikum from SEA. If you intend to head this way make sure to use a third country layover and a ticket from outside the US because they will literally just see notice pop up with a red bar in the immigration screen. This happened a few weeks ago to a guy 3 counters over from me and he was taken to the interrogation room. I didn't see him at the baggage collection after so I assume he didn't make it.

  • Jim Southern California April 10, 2025 at 10:02 am on International Travel 2025I have a question that I hope someone can offer clarity: I am a dual citizen of Italy and my husband is a PFR. We have traveled freely back and forth to Italy (yes my husband always gives local reporting agency the 21 day notice of intended travel) and he has always had a short wait in secondary screening upon return to US. My question is: I am becoming alarmed at the current actions of the present administration, especially on all things involving immigration. Does anyone have a concern about experiencing major problem when returning to US in secondary screening? My second question is related to applying for family cohesion residency permit in Italy. Does anyone know of a PFR who is married to an Italian citizen, successfully applying for a Spousal family cohension residency permit in Italy. Does anyone have experience or knowledge if Italy would approve the family cohesion residency permit if the offense was 24 years ago? I know Im asking a very specific and unique question.Just wanted to see if anyone has any insights. Its getting very scary here in US and Im just trying to protect our family.

  • JB April 9, 2025 at 11:52 pm on CA: Committee Approves Two Bills That Could Add 30,000 People to Registry, Deny Early Parole Discharge for ElderlySB 286, known as the Mary-Bella's Law, is realistically an uphill battle. As my letters to the senators pointed out, applicants for elderly parole are vetted. History shows that very, very few of these people who have had serious convictions actually received early parole due to the age issue after board hearings. Unfortunately, SB 286 will now push those with lower offensives to be subjectively evaluated more intently and rejected for early parole due to age. Also, why do names always have to be placed on these types of laws?
  • Kjoy April 9, 2025 at 7:29 pm on General Comments April 2025I remember back in the past, approximately in 2004 that my registrant therapist as well as my structured living house manager told me that simply because I have that stigma on me, I will never be able to interact with women, converse with them, hug them or even tell them that they are beautiful. Now I'm living freely off probation. I'm currently in a flexible living home. My personal current experience is proving my therapist and manager wrong. I'm greeting and conversing with women all the time. After a while of knowing them, I hug them and tell them that they look beautiful. The women's only reaction is a hug back, a "Thank you.", and a cordial smile. I personally see many people who believe we people who have a label can change and have changed.
  • Janice Bellucci April 9, 2025 at 7:11 pm on CA: Manteca police officer arrested, accused of sexual offenses, DA saysYou make a valid point, Ghost, however we post articles like this and will continue to do so until society recognizes that police officers and sheriff's deputies, not most people already on the registry, are to be viewed as possible perpetrators of sexual abuse.
  • Astro April 9, 2025 at 2:51 pm on ACSOL Letter to DOGE Requests Elimination of All Funding for SORNAI would Highly suggest a few follow up calls to the office to make sure your letter doesn't just get circle filed. 10 billion dollars is an absolutely insane amount of tax dollars to spend on something solely designed as an administative function. You also forgot to mention how each registrant also pays for him or herself at registration on top of whatever money is coming from tax dollars. Nonetheless, it seems very direct, to the point, and hopefully they listen. The Witch Trials have been going on long enough and it's time for a complete re-write to the whole system to "de-regulate" so-to-speak. Thank you for your efforts. I've spent the entirety of my adult life with this stain that keeps getting worse. All for something that should have been thrown out but my naive teen self was coerced into a plea.
