People with immunities can use reputation, extortion, blackmail, bypass the constitution, reduced sentences, pardoned, greed for power and money. Duel citizenship. Registry I guess bypasses all of that I don't know. Funny huh? That's just a theory. Words. Safety. Emergency. And security. Tubi has a documentary called 'secrecy'.

Dear Janice (et al), Yesterday's Saturday 2-hour informational fellowship at Sacramento's Center for Spiritual Healing was lovely. It was warm and informative. I had no regrets driving 1 1/2 hours to Sacramento. Thank you, Jannice (and Roger and Sherry!) for all you do. Always. I did want to bring up one little thing I discovered in my very light research on this topic. Please look up the following public office individuals, as well as their year of election. Joel Gaston (2021)Greg Gianforte (2017)Angela Walker (2025)Dan Trevathan (1997)Aaron Spencer (2026)G. Gordon Liddy (1968)Sheila Corfilus-McCormick (2026) (FLORIDA; of all states…)Keren Vasquez (2026) (Arizona)Leesa Jengkins (1990)Tiffany Thigpin (2024)Catherin Pugh (1999, 2005, 2019)Adam Bradley (2010)Max Miller (2026)Charles Lombardi (2025)Ex-president Andrew Jackson (1829) (a notable example during the “Era of Dueling”, which meant that what President Jackson did was…. tsk…. common) See that, folks? People with violent/egregious histories (or current processes) have ran for and have successfully held seats in public offices. I'm glad the struck-down of this bill was Janice's latest achievement. We can bear the above list in mind, the next time another registrant-unfriendly officer attempts another one on us. As a post-note, I want to mention that I reserve no judgement, ill-will or hostility towards any of these individuals; most especially since I admittingly don't know the first thing about any of them. (News articles can never inform it to us!). They all served their times a long time ago or will potentially serve their times in upcoming due time. Certainly, their history does not dictate their ability to be concerned for our communities and to be great leaders in society. On the other hand, if we can have that courtesy for them, I only wish that it would be returned for registrants like us.

I would like to see them prove that the halloween post is a violation of free speach equivalent to the internet post that forces the governments message on a much broader international level. Maybe this could be accomplished through this case.

and simply a consequence of being a "public"servant

In the last 15 to 20 years, no legislator in Massachusetts has even entertained the ideal of releasing level 1 information to the public. They literally just given up due to a slew of court decisions and a one party state that has sealed that protection for level 1's. I seriously doubt there will be any change in my lifetime.

Humans believe we control anything look at river dams, a river doesn't give a dam about a dam; humans can't control behavior based on the past alone because junk science can't predict intent, humans can't predict the weather and humans can't predict someone on a list is dangerous based on risk. If you aren't hitched to someone's hip you don't know jack.

I just donated. Please help Janice defeat the EVIL AG'S.

The pendulum will eventually swing back in the other direction and at that point, being on this registry, I am concerned. They see us as ALL the same and may try to further turn the screws and amplify punish on those that have served their time. When the truth comes out, and it will, concerning the Epstein files there will be public outrage which may result in harsher laws, stricter penalties and mass punishment, a witch hunt. Chuck Schumer has already mentioned a new bill called Virginia's for those involved with sex trafficking. As with any bill, more will probably be “tacked” on to make it harsher, more sadistic. I understand that there is and should be punishment for those who have broken the law. But I don’t believe in mass punishment without some off-ramp or incentive for those who have been on for decades with no issues, paid their debt to society and want to reintegrate back into society.

This may help. The group has several videos on youtube as well as a patreon group that meets on sundays at 2:00pm. Good luck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RheS8GknDeg

Risks listed on the sex offense registry is just as useless as using an article from Psychology Today as proof that registrants re-offense rates are frightening and high as high as 80%.

And to support your point, the registry is full of the broadest most diverse types of crimes. Everything from public urination, flashing, fully consenting Romeo / Juliet kids aged 18 and 17, and noncontact images to full blown kidnapping and violent rape - and hundreds of crimes in between. None of this makes sense, trying to lump all these people together and predict future events. It's impossible and stupid.

I see your point and don't disagree, but people can predict all sorts of things. Predict literally means to say beforehand, but doesn't mean it will literally come true. There is the difference. People like to predict something is going to 100% happen regardless of their lack of critical thinking into it, unless the factors are so set in stone it will happen, e.g., the sun will rise in the east and set in the west. I recommend forum people here research "prediction vs actually happening" online to see "predictions diverge from reality" for various reasons. Once the forum population understands that, the argument becomes stronger against the predictions those who love the registry like to espouse because the reality they want to happen so rarely ever happens. The abuse of safety (as @Carl has noted of late) doesn't justify the "sky is falling" prediction registry lovers love to espouse.

Given he is a high strung guy in general, this is all he knows, sadly. Someone could do the same in reverse about those who are either appointed to such positions or elected to them which would not only create a furor by those targeted, but cause critical thinking by those who still manage to do so today.

Wow, they're really going all in on this matter, huh? Would love to see the Supreme Court take the case and the Feds lose.

I am wondering how many states require licence plates be turned in by the DOC/Registration. In Wi. there is a line on our check in yearly form for it. However it is not required by wi. law to turn it in or keep it current.

Markwayne Mullins needs to go back snaking toilets because that is a useful job, unlike spreading myths to instill fear.

I personally think that nobody can predict risk, low or high. Unless you have a crystal ball, there is no way to predict risk. There are so many new offenses by someone who has never offended. That person obviously would have beefed deemed low risk. Yet a PFR who is wheelchair bound would be considered high risk. There is no rhyme or reason. Why else do cops re-act to crime but are not really able to prevent it.

I have believed for a long time that there should be a constitutional amendment about the fed weaponizing media. Why can't the media tell the truth anymore? It's because they are forced not too. Scared to lose their licensing. The ones that try to tell truth get pushed down. I believe the media doesn't have to tell the truth anymore. When one door closes 100 more open. I don't believe the fed has any business in everyday media to begin with unless it's an ACTUAL immediate emergency. They do it to push the economy in a certain direction. Mass psycological manipulation at its finest. Again... the words 'emergency' 'safety' and/or 'security' are being abused. They know this. They want keep everyone in a panic because it pushes buying and selling. The more you buy and sell the more you have to work. The more you work the more tax revenue they gain. The more tax revenue they gain the bigger the machine gets.

Manufacturing scapegoats for the people is the bedrock of government policy of distracting Americans from our nation's failures.

Okay, thinking back, the first time I flew into Turkey was from Athens, and the second time was from Madrid, I think - not directly from US.

There's so many cameras already on stop light intersections, it wouldn't add anything.

Just curious, how long should this monthly meeting last? I'm looking forward to it and just want to plan accordingly. Thank you

Anyone else worried about possible backlash against PFRs after the upcoming Chris Hansen movie comes out? I'm personally getting anxious, nervous, worried, etc 🥴 I am so tired of not being able to live my life without some external factor every so often affecting my state of well being and sense of security. It feels so unjust. I did my time, I paid for my crime, I should be able to move on with life but I find it so difficult to do that with peace of mind. My charge was in 2007, I haven't even gotten a traffic ticket since, I live an honest life, doing the best I can with what I have, and I still feel like I have to watch my back 24/7. This isn't a healthy standard of living.

Given actual recidivism rates, I would argue that nearly the entire registry is "low risk." And the registry does absolutely nothing to protect anyone from the remaining handful.

Hi all, I am writing to ask anyone who is a current SO registrants who has had any kind of experience, positive or negative applying for a standard tourist visa to the United Kingdom and what your experience was. I was given an ETA approval, but there was nowhere in that application where I could explain in more detail why I wanted to come, the importance to my family, etc. So I am following a lawyer's advice and applying for the visa in addition. And so far, the application does give me ample opportunity to explain my offense in more detail, no jail time, et cetera.  So the question is: Has anyone currently on your registry applied for this same tourist visa and got approval? And if you were declined, did you get any kind of response or offer to question the decision? If you got approval, did you end up successfully traveling to the UK? I've been told that you can get the tourist visa and still be turned away at customs. So any information along these lines would be extremely helpful before I make the decision to take the risk and buy tickets and go, should I get the tourist visa approved?  Many thanks.  David R

I heard that the plan is to put flock cameras on all stop lights in the country, which means 60 million cameras watching every move. Heard this on the Tennessee Brando YouTube channel, so check it out. 1984 isn't just a year or book, but it's a reality knocking on our door.

An ALPR reader alerted to a stolen vehicle, the police pulled over the adult driver and 3 kids who all were laid prone and some handcuffed. The plate was the correct number but from a different state and wasn’t an SUV but a motorcycle. FTUSA

PFRs should assume that governments' law enforcement criminals (LECs) are watching Registered vehicles everywhere, automatically. I've said several times on here that it would be trivial for a criminal regime, Floriduh for example, to use its ALPRs to watch for all vehicles Registered in any state in America and once any of those vehicles has been in Floriduh exceeding their Registration grace period, to check if the person has actually Registered in/with Floriduh or not. If the person has not Registered, the ALPRs could easily find where the vehicle is and an LEC could stop the vehicle. If you are a PFR driving that vehicle and the LEC asks you how long you have been in Floriduh, what are you going to say? Refuse to answer? Is that probable cause for arrest or just more investigation? It would not be a good idea to lie. I agree with you that PFRs should understand these scenarios and plan in advance how to avoid them. Thankfully, there are about a billion ways around it. But any person in America does need to know the enemy and understand their tactics. Hey, would you mind telling us all about your FTR problems? I think that would be instructive and helpful for people. There are no better examples than things which have actually happened. Lastly, I've been Registered for decades. It has wasted a ton of public resources and caused widespread harm. But anyway, I've never spent a single day in prison. I don't plan on it either. If I'm ever arrested for ANYTHING related to the Registries, I'm absolutely going to retaliate. The LECs better plan to shoot me on my doorstep, because if they don't, bad things are going to happen. Not then. But later. And plenty. "People" who think the Registries are...

Does anyone know if this would work submitting 21 day notice to travel into tijuana, then taking a flight from tj to mexico city?

This decision raises important questions about freedom of expression versus public safety. In my community, we had a similar debate regarding online anonymity and its impact on accountability. Balancing these interests is tricky but essential for FNF

There is hope! In their concurring opinion, (Ellingsberg) Conservative Justices Thomas and Gorsuch explicitly advocated for a complete overhaul of the Smith v. Doe standard. Thomas argued that modern courts rely far too heavily on legislative labels to allow states to bypass the Ex Post Facto Clause

I wonder why people forced to register theses days don’t believe in the technology law enforcement are using against them, I’ve been looking up information about the tech law enforcement been using to track people on the registry since I was 18. Back in the day they had theses high tech surveillance vans to track people, that was back in 2008. Then in 2020 I was sitting on my porch smoking a cigarette and a drone with LA county Sheriff on it flew down in my face and flew away. Then a few years latter I started reading about license plate readers, but they weren’t as strong and accurate as they are now. what people force to register don’t realize is those license readers were made to track people on the registry, this goes back to Adam Walsh, it was made to track cars coming and going in and out of neighborhoods and it flags people force to register. I went through Hell on the registry I was caught twice for felony FTR while on the registry, one in 2008 and one in 2010. So I seen a lot, I would never say something to cast fear. When I got arrested for my second FTR I was arrested by the District Attorney‘s office. They were all suited up with guns and my boots on. Some still had dress shirts on and of course the safe task force was there and the FBI. I’m no longer on the registry, BUT I comeback on here to try and reach one, to let them know what there going up against, So they don’t get careless and end up back in prison or end up going to prison for life

I will write in PFRs TOP to BOTTOM now. Please please please run.

And the scary part is, SCOTUS has a conservative majority. This is the Orcs summoning Sauron for reinforcements. And if they DO decide to pick this up and overturn the ruling, it will provide uncontestable proof that the registry IS 100% politically motivated and driven! Used exclusively as a "tough on crime" albatross and perpetual punishment. They're protecting, promoting and defending an online gulag!

Who wants to bet that nobody gets prosecuted for this?

The conviction included multiple CP charges as a Class C Felony in WA State. As far as I know he did not contact the Feds. Got a notice from the county sheriff he was removed a couple of years ago.

Just another part of the price club membership

Sounds like Fake book and InstaScam need to ban themselves instead of registrants. Charge Zuck with distributing harmful images to minors.

All this and Judges complain about their address getting out?? I guess I'm confused, it's as safe as a Costco membership

Of course Hansen is going to go full Chicken Little and toot his horn before that movie about his toixic show comes out. The NCMEC has always used scare tactics and unrealistic fear-based messaging for funding and free PR. They're still exploiting the outrage and shock of Adam's death 45 years later. They really are getting a while lot of milage out of it only beause mothers are easy to brainwash with fear. Not to mention the blatant lies they spread about people FTR.

We know the United States is and has been for 30 plus years now.

While the U.S. Congress does not have a formal "safety clause," the term is a major point of political controversy regarding state legislatures (such as in Colorado and Washington) and congressional emergency spending loopholes. When people talk about legislative bodies "abusing the safety clause," they are typically referring to lawmakers falsely declaring a bill an emergency to bypass voter referendums or budget caps.Here is a breakdown of how "safety" and "emergency" clauses are used and allegedly abused at both the state and federal levels.1. State Legislatures: Fast-Tracking and Blocking ReferendumsIn many state constitutions (like Colorado, Washington, and Arkansas), a safety clause or emergency clause allows a bill to take effect immediately upon being signed, rather than waiting the standard 90 days.The Rule: Legistically, a safety clause specifies that a bill is "necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety."The Alleged Abuse: In states like Washington, critics point out that majority parties attach emergency clauses to highly controversial, non-emergency bills (such as local stadium funding or standard regulatory shifts).The Consequence: Attaching this clause statutorily blocks citizens from forced voter referendums. Voters cannot gather signatures to put the law on a ballot for a public veto, effectively stripping the public of their constitutional check on the legislature.2. Federal Congress: The "Emergency Spending" LoopholeAt the federal level, the closest equivalent to a safety clause abuse is the weaponization of "emergency designations" in federal budget bills.The Rule: Under federal budget laws, Congress can designate funding as an "emergency" if a crisis is sudden, urgent, unforeseen, and temporary (such as a pandemic or natural disaster).The Alleged Abuse: Policy watchdogs, like the Cato Institute, argue that Congress routinely abuses this designation to slide trillions of dollars of ordinary, unrelated pork-barrel spending past agreed-upon statutory budget caps. Because it is labeled an "emergency,"...

It wouldn't make a difference. I got into Turkiye straight after probation for a felony cp offense that resulted in years in prison. Despite that and the 21 day notice, Turkiye cleared me on the visa and let me enter the country

I bought a Turkiye visa and flew directly to Istanbul via Frankfurt around the same time as Mike G except a tiny bit earlier in 2022. Border control didn't give me a 2nd look despite my giving Turkiye a 21 day notice at the end of supervision after serving a multi year prison term for cp. I also flew out and back into Turkiye once from Johannesburg and another time from Batumi Georgia in 2023. Still I had no problems. I was afraid that this kind of thing would start happening once Turkiye got rid of the visa requirement a few years back. In my opinion, having a valid visa where Turkiye screens for the most important crimes sort of reassures a border agent that a traveler is vetted--even though they still have the power to deny entry into their country.

The Scale of "Safety" in Federal LegislationSince 1980, the word has been embedded in the titles or text of an enormous volume of legislation spanning over 23 congressional terms. Introduced Bills: Lawmakers introduce anywhere from 6,000 to over 15,000 bills during each two-year Congress. Historically, several hundred bills per session explicitly use "Safety" or "Safe" in their titles—ranging from infrastructure and workplace regulations to food and digital environments. Enacted Laws: While only about 4% to 7% of introduced bills actually become law, dozens of major, landmark statutes containing "safety" in their primary titles have passed since 1980. Major Legislative Waves (1980–Present) The legislative focus of "safety" has evolved significantly over the last few decades, moving from physical spaces to digital and social domains:1980s–1990s (Physical & Industrial Safety): Following the creation of OSHA in 1970, the 1980s and 1990s saw heavy usage of the term for heavy industry, transportation, and consumer goods. Examples include the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990, automotive air bag and seat belt mandates, and chemical processing laws. 2000s (National & Homeland Security): Following the September 11 attacks, the definition of safety heavily merged with national defense, leading to massive legislative packages tied to aviation safety, border security, and counter-terrorism. 2010s–Present (Digital & Community Safety): In recent years, "safety" has become the primary branding mechanism for tech regulation and public health. This includes bipartisan pushes like the Kids Online Safety Act and gun-related legislation like the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. The Rhetorical Use of "Safety"In political science, "safety" is considered an unassailable political keyword. Lawmakers frequently structure bill titles using the word—or acronyms that spell it (such as the "SAFE Act")—because it frames opposition to the bill as an opposition to public welfare. This makes the word one of the most consistently deployed tools for "pushing" legislation...

Didn't Utah try this and ended up getting the Bible banned? How about allowing parents to judge if a book is suitable for their children? Banning books based on content doesn't sound like freedom to me, but sounds a lot like what a guy with a mustache used to do to books over in Germany.

Now you're starting to see it hahaha haha. Words commonly used are 'emergency' 'safety' and or 'security'. Telling ya. Watch the tubi documentary 'secrecy' it's all true. It openly tells you how they have manipulated the legal system to do just what they talk about.

Was the CP a felony or misdemeanor conviction? Wondering if the denial was due to being a sex offense or if they were hung up on having a felony on his record.

Only God knows how many lives, crooked prosecutors - like Lauren Guber - have ruined. A lot of judges and most prosecutors like to think they are God. But, I truly believe God sees all. The universe has a way of making evildoers, like Guber, pay their dues. In my view, Guber takes out loans for every life she helps ruin. But, eventually, the debt collector - God - will come around. Some of you all call it “Karma.” Whatever it is, I’m old enough to see it come for everyone. The same is said for all of ya’ll treated unfairly by our terrible court system. I truly believe you too will get the redemption and justice you truly deserve as the universe sees fit.

That's crazy. I have heard people have no issues at all once they're off the registry have a clean passport. I have gone into turkey multiple times but I use my second passport. Do you know if your friend had contacted angles watch or other agencies after he was removed to confirm there system was updated. I heard some registrants not doing that and the systems not updating

It relates because Florida’s license branding is a civil‑administrative restriction, and the story begins with the earliest driving laws that reclassified everyday activities as “civil privileges.” Once a system is labeled civil, it carries almost no constitutional protections. Any law the state can attach to that civil framework will grow with it. We’re seeing the same pattern in your Arkansas library post. The library law is written as civil protection for minors, but it carries criminal consequences for librarians who misjudge vague standards like “prurient interest” or “patently offensive.” That is the same civil‑administrative expansion used in driver‑license branding, registries, forfeiture, and DWI penalties. When government learns it can bypass constitutional safeguards simply by calling something “civil,” the system expands into new areas — driving, housing, travel, libraries, identification documents — and each expansion adds new categories of people who can be restricted or punished without full constitutional review. That is why the Ponzi analogy fits: Civil systems grow endlessly.They expand through stigma and prejudice.They add new groups to sustain themselves.They impose criminal consequences while claiming to be non‑punitive.This is why the courts must answer three foundational questions: Is this system civil or criminal? Because civil labels are being used to impose criminal‑level consequences. Are the states united or sovereign? Because states are creating civil schemes that override national constitutional protections. Is the scheme state or federal? Because federal courts often defer to state definitions of “civil,” even when the effects are punitive. And when paired with the Mendoza‑Martinez framework — which this entire scheme fails — the conclusion is unavoidable: Until those questions are confronted honestly, civil‑administrative systems will continue expanding, from driver’s licenses to libraries. Once a system learns it can exempt itself from constitutional limits, it will eventually reach everyone.

Interesting. I have a friend who was recently denied entry into Turkey and turned around. He was off registry and does not have a marked passport. Offense was CP from over 10 years ago. He did fly directly to Turkey from the US. It was a bad experience. This was within the last 4-5 months.

According to Chris Hansen's YouTube channel sadistic online exploitation is growing warns the director of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. I bet my right toe that registrants aren't exchanging in sadistic online exploitation, but I'm sure a lot of elites are engaged in those activities.

Sorry late reply. My official sentence was 300 days in jail and 5 years probation. After 30 in jail, I got released to house arrest at home for the remainder of the sentence. Since California generally cuts 1/3 off a sentence for good behavior, my total incarcerated was 200 days (jail plus house arrest). I did the full 5 years' probation because the judge said he couldn't see any benefit to the community if it was shortened. As with probably most of you, I was lied to from the start about all things legal.

In my opinion, NO. It is my understanding that the "injury" inflicted upon the plaintiff was when the State initially issued the driver's license several years ago. The collateral consequences of the 'branding' appearing on the driver's license (notification that he is a PFR) is not considered a "new injury" every time he encounters negative results (e.g., denied housing, etc.). I posted previously what I believe would be the most effective course for him to take in the future to avoid continuing or repeated collateral consequences (see my post above). Good question!!

Arkansas’s Library Law Is Bad Because Vague Criminal Laws Inevitably Produce CensorshipArkansas’s Act 372 is being defended as a straightforward law intended to protect children from obscene material. Framed that way, it sounds almost impossible to oppose. Few people believe public libraries should hand pornography to small children, and no respectable argument for intellectual freedom requires providing children with legally obscene material. But that framing conceals the actual problem. Child pornography is already illegal. Legally obscene material already falls outside ordinary First Amendment protection. Libraries already divide their collections into children’s, young-adult, and adult sections. They use parental controls, borrowing restrictions, internet filters, review procedures, and professional collection policies. Parents already possess broad authority to decide what their own children may read. Act 372 goes beyond those ordinary protections. It creates potential criminal liability for furnishing material deemed “harmful to minors” and establishes a process through which library materials may be challenged, relocated, or removed. The law relies on phrases such as “prurient interest,” “patently offensive,” “community standards,” and whether a work has “serious literary, scientific, medical, artistic, or political value” for minors. Those phrases may come from established obscenity doctrine, but that does not make them objective or predictable. They require people to decide what is sexually improper, what is beyond accepted limits, what has sufficient value, and what an undefined category of “minors” should be permitted to see. There is no instrument that measures prurient interest. There is no numerical scale for patent offensiveness. There is no universally accepted method for determining whether a novel has enough literary value to overcome a controversial passage. Yet Arkansas has attached the possibility of criminal punishment to those judgments. That is the first major defect in the law. A criminal statute should tell people with reasonable clarity what conduct is prohibited...

For being on the registry because not all offenses are sexually based yet will still result in being included on the registry.

I'm new here, but what the hell does this have to do with the post??

I'm sorry, but doesn't the statute of limitations begin anew with each new violation? Thus, every time he is forced to present his license, the statute of limitations starts anew??

Florida doesn't care about rules or laws because they do whatever they want regarding sex offenses. Most of those listed on the state's registry don't even live in Florida, yet Ron DeSantis and cronies get more money for their bloated registry. Heck even death Florida will have a person listed cause we all know " Night of the Living Dead and Return of the Living Dead'' were documentaries. No wonder Ron Book is the top lobbyist and southern Florida elected Lauren Book to senate when a doorstop was more qualified. Florida where alligators are more friendly than the state government.

I thought stop signs were optional due to the white trim. " If there's a stop sign with white around it no cop, no stop."

Courts to bad guys: "Here's their crime, home address, email, and phone number. What you do with it is your business. If you do something bad from it, then it has nothing to do with me." If the Courts are worried about public safety, then it is implied that registrants are not equal citizens because registrants do not deserve protection under public safety.

That exceptional point should be in a closing argument. Well said!

You can thank SCOTUS with using the false fact from a Psychology magazine that the recidivism rates for sex crimes was up to 80%. SCOTUS' decision in Smith v Doe made all sex criminals irredeemable.

100% agree. A yield sign does the same thing with the same intent. But both signs are inanimate objects that can't make anybody do anything. It's up to the behavior of the person to follow the law related to each of the signs posted. If they do not, then there could be up to deadly consequences, as we are well aware of. The same is said for a sign in the front yard of a PFR, the public could disregard it and still go up to the front door. Again, it is up to the public to decide their actions. As we go down a road, we can see the yield or stop sign from afar. The same can be said for a large enough sign in the front yard: the public can read it from the sidewalk, the curb, the street, or maybe even from across/down the street. If it was merely a piece of paper taped to the front door that was 2 in by 2 in, then one has legally satisfied the letter of the law in mockery because when the government describes how it needs to be displayed, then the compelling argument of the first amendment is squarely front and center. However, the difference is the direction in compelling a person at a residence to display a message at the government's direction under the guise of alleged safety, which most likely abuses that notion without a logical or sound foundation (nod to @Carl) at that residence of the resident, and is a strong point of a legal challenge. For example, the government could have a law on the books that says everybody must post a sign in their front yard with their astrological sign & birthday and there will be some that will object to being...

How lovely to be reminded that vigilantism has been spread well into juvenile delinquents... I must take this moment to connect to a real-life comparable moment of my own. On a well-visited g-rated website, I remember a middle-school little brat (middle-school!), someone who was constantly being reprimanded by his parents for his behavior, boasted in an unfiltered demeanor that he "enjoyed hunting p*****iles" and "capturing them in a sting video", like it was some fun video game. I don't think someone his age actually had the true means to be able to pull any of it off (unless he had the help of supporting grownups??). Regardless, I wasn't sure what I was more offended by: the fact that he was even influenced by this generation to think and behave that way; or the fact that he had absolutely no reservations, regrets and second thoughts about it...

Welcome to America where we shame people for sex offense, but those convictied of drug offenses, DUI and tax evasion are "praised and applauded" for having the "courage" for overcoming their past and moviing forward.

You know, a "STOP" sign serves a ligitimate public safety purpose at an intersection that doesn't have traffic lights. It actually saves lives, mitigates risk and prevents property damage. Conversely, the weak and fear-based argument for "Halloween signs" placed where someone forced to register lives will NEVER meet that REAL WORLD TESTED level of sacrosant public safety. "Conduct based" is alos a flawed argument rooted in fear because it iiimplies that people convicted of a sex offense are incapable of conduct regulation and can't control their urges. ALL NOT TRUE! The sign issue is just a symptom of the growing cancerous registry that was built upon a foundation of lies, myths and fear. The SCOTUS challenge is just a wishful cure for a lot of brusied egos in law enforcement.

I would also like to add that the founders of this country were pretty smart and those who made the amendments since mankind has been around how many thousands of years? If there was to be any premise concerning this amendment they would have included it. It would have said something to the effect of 'government shall not compel anyone to say or not say....unless it is for the safety of the people', but it does NOT! They made it very clear under NO circumstances is the government to compel anyone to say or not say-PERIOD!! The AG's are trying to read something into the First Amendment it does not say!

So nobody has a clue?

Courts have said over the years they are not responsible for what others do with info presented under the guise of public safety. I say they are third party responsible, but what court is going to indict another court of that? They're all guilty of it regardless of the court.

CJ Roberts should actually be afraid, very afraid, of @Janice if the facts of his legal legacy are brought to the light of the court. He might be better off recusing himself to avoid the embarrassment given his knowledge of the topic at hand.

Misery's AG and the others following while stomping their feet don't realize registrants have families too and having a sign places innocent children at risk of being harmed, injured, or murdered yet these arrogant garbage dumpsters don't care about evidence or the constitution. How many times do they need to beat a dead horse before they ride off on another resume boaster. AGs are nothing but bullies and will throw anything on a defendant, at their appeals court, or the big wigs at the Supreme Court. If this does go before the Supreme Court I'd love to see Chief Justice sweat like the snake oil sales man he is while wearing a shirt, " Blood is on your hands John Roberts. The registry has caused more harm than good by making citizens homeless, jobless, isolated, and at the hands of nutjobs. You belong to the worst Chief Justice in American history club and your membership is due."

Same. I've heard multiple times no one is willing to take my case because they KNOW that it's a rigged system within the state. Most aren't aware but in the state of Kentucky if you are convicted here, and you decide you wanna move out of state of course you have follow everything too a T.... but where it gets messed up is THAT statute states that even though you've followed everything like you should... the state of Kentucky can randomly put a warrant out for your arrest in that other state and have you extradited back too Kentucky. There's no moving out of this state. They do that, not only do you get convicted of the 10 years for violation, if you don't serve your full prison sentence you will have too serve out the rest of your sentence. Meaning, I served a 2 year sentence, not only would have to serve the 10 years(class D is 1 too 5 years) In my particular instance I would be forced to serve out another 3 years. Time on the registry gets paused, if your lucky you start back where you were but I've heard numerous times the state automatically rolls it back so your on the registry as if you were never on it in the first place. 13 years and having to start back over. There's nothing about the extra 3 years, but it's well known within the state system. They didn't even have a name for my conviction yet and they changed it about 10 different times and they even back dated it to where it looked like they had it finished before I was even convicted. The state of Kentucky is statistically known to be one of the most corrupt. It's automatic revolving door to use tax...

Instead of the PA courts admitting they are the sole reason why scammers can identify who to scam via the registry, they present a CYA by, "advising the public to stay vigilant against a recently reported scam involving the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas." That's like saying, "Oops we doxed you, but don't listen to Franklin County courts or PA courts if ..." Wait, so registrant have to listen to the whole message to then decipher if they need to disregard the courts? Hold on. Isn't the Franklin County courts or PA courts supposed to protect those on the registry instead of having registrants do the work of Franklin County courts or PA courts? Can registrants sue Franklin County courts or PA courts for being a direct accessory to these scammers? Someone in government needs to take responsibility for exposing all this info to the scammers. And if they cannot, then they need to stop posting information to the public.

Out of curiosity, is your wife a defense attorney? I've been looking for a new one who actually understands and cares about all of the layers (within the state and nationally) to the registry. I've become pretty dissatisfied woth the one who I've been working with. It seems like they won't care about how my case will be perceived in other states or jurisdictions.

perfect definition of Predator These LawMakers who believe they can manipulated the highest court in our land and that the justice's won't see through them it is hard to keep faith in times like this where a pack of wolfs want there controle back, Well I have to trust the courts are tired of this fight and will we will prevail in this and it could open doors for other fights!

Is Hatami from the Netflix show “The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez?” Yeah, it was weird how that dude seemed to be fake crying for the cameras. It’s sad that almost everything in America is done to make a profit. That Gabriel Fernandez case was extremely tragic, but it leaves a bad taste when our lame ass government lets a big corporation (Netflix) make millions from a “documentary” about that tragedy. It’s the same thing with how the Gubers profit from mass incarceration, a punitive legal system, and a health insurance company notorious for denying claims. A family literally built on blood money and suffering. This also brings us to another point about how cops and prosecutors exaggerate things. Megan’s Law and registration is an example. In my view, after 10 years after a crime, no one should have to “register.” Also, as mentioned above, it’s weird how the worst possible crime, murder, doesn't require registration, yet a sex offense does. There is zero logic to all of this. All of this just shows how much of scammers the Gubers are.

Yeah. I also remember how when said “the people,” spit would fly out of her mouth. Like geez lady, say it, don’t spray it. 🤮

Actually, it would be more than the 16+MO, but the entire country would be allowed and then the slippery slope begins.

The latter because they want a "I told you so"

Well, Carl, if the 16 State AGs plus Missouri get their way, registrants in all those areas will have Halloween signs in their yards. Then crazed gunman won't even need to access the internet - they'll simply need to look around the neighborhood to find an easy target. 😡😡😡

It sounds like they are getting nervous. I'll be sending a donation on payday!

I also see a parallel between this case and Miranda v. Arizona. Arizona's strategy was basically the same - got a bunch of other state AGs to complain that they would never get another conviction if defendants knew they didn't have to speak. Obviously, that didn't work. Doubt it will work here, either.

Funny how the Georgia AG jumped on this bandwagon in support of the same tired arguments he and his staff used while fighting McClendon v. Long. He could have taken this case to the USSC back then and chose not to, likely because he knew it wouldn't have prevailed. Can't help but wonder if he changed his mind or if his involvement was more politically motivated. Guessing the latter.

Any non-PFR is statistically a greater threat of offending than a PFR is at reoffending. Therefore, does that mean those who are in the greater statistical category need to be dispositioned the same as this person would like to do on a PFR?

This is where @Carl your statements of abusing safety for the sake of a solution looking for a problem comes in.

It is always good to email the State AG to see what reply they'll provide that you in turn can provide to ACSOL and FAC. You can ask them about their take on the US Constitution related to compelled speech without mentioning the sign matter to see an un-jaded opinion on the basic issue at hand. Introducing the sign WRT a PFR will only get them on a soapbox they are on now without addressing the real matter, i.e., compelled speech. If it is approved for a hearing and then ruled against a PFR, then who isn't going to be in the crosshairs of the same matter on a very slippery slope?

Trinity Law School is one of the worst law schools in the country. To them, Lauren Guber’s arrogant ignorance is probably more of a virtue than a liability….

When projecting their pain on others, they are only pointing it out greater on themselves @Anonymous. One finger points out, three point back... This needs to be pointed out to them, Book and Walsh, as noted below in public, etc and then pointed out to all who believe their projections.

That is one of the best write-ups in short on them both @MD Registrant. It's been written about before here by others, but that is the best short one yet and needs to be used going forward when discussing them in public.

I'm sure the Washington man would say his father deserved to be killed because how dare he demand that the dishes be washed. Wonder why his charges went from 1st degree to Manslaughter. Guess his gun put his hand on the trigger. Michigan's AG was once speaking the truth regarding sex offense registries, became AG changing her tune, and now she's the devil up in Lansing. Dana Nessel (sp) must be a thorn in registrants' sides up there in the Great Lake State of Michigan. Maybe she's drinking buddies with Wisconsin cheeseheads.

Courts why not declare the Sex Offense Registry unconstitutional and then they wouldn't be any of these scams, you wouldn't have to send out notices as if you care about rights or the scams, and the public can worry about their own problems while leaving others alone. Come on PA you are home of the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and Rocky

How many hundreds of thousands, if not millions does the AG of Missouri plan to spend of the taxpayers' money to appeal this? Taxpayers who pay Catherine Hanaway's salary: think about crimes your families didn't get solved because of this exercise. How many criminals were thrown back on the streets without even a slap on the wrist because she was too busy prosecuting lawn signs? While Hanaway wipes her feet on the US Constitution, your loved ones didn't get justice. Remember that.

As I type this there is a 'man' that is in city square at the main 4 way intersection dressed in military drab with a AR rifle slung over his shoulder holding a sign that says ' a dead pedo does not reoffend '. These are the people that are causing the issues within society. I paid no mind to this guy and went on my way because of him showing ignorance. Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy and walk away right? But then feelings of disgust and anger came over me. I'm on the list, I had cops put false evidence against me, as well as a false statement, etc. To have someone threatening to take the life of another is uncalled for. Where addresses are made public, I worry about people like this. I'm waiting on him or someone else to come knocking on my door. I worked at a gas station for a few months and had someone point a gun at me and force me to either quit or be shot, another job people(plural) threatebed to beat me up in the parking lot and destroy my car after finding me on the public registry(the h.r. didnt pay any mind too it). I worry every day of some random vigilante pulling into my drive way now and causing an issue. Cops response time is well over 20 minutes where I live in the rural area. So if a matter of life or death comes up you either tell them to wait and shoot you when the cops get there or take matters into your own hands if need be. So the registry is to promote public safety? Lancaster, KY August 4th, 2026 1pm est.

Lauren was sexually assaulted and I believed raped by the family nanny, which was known to the family including Ronny because they took her on vacations. Adam Walsh we will never know if he was sexually assaulted because only his skull and torso was found. John and Reve Walsh used their tragic loss to inflict pain on others that had NOTHING to do with Adam's abduction and murder, just like Ron and Lauren used her being sexually assaulted using it to inflict pain on others that had NOTHING to with Lauren's parents not having a clue what was happening in their home. The Adam Walsh Act doesn't honor Adam or his young life, just Lauren Book's residency restrictions in Miami and Florida It hasn't prevented anything since her assault occurred by her nanny.

I'm extremely disgusted - though not surprised - by these garbage State AGs. Sadly, in our current political times, the Constitution is a conditional, use-when-convenient, document. 😩 👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 I'm sending my donation now! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

A man arrested for causing one of the giant fires in Washington State this summer apparently was convicted of killing his father in 2012--he had been charged with 1st degree but ended up being convicted of manslaughter and received a sentence of 12 years (2 already served). He shot his father because his father asked him to do the dishes, and no one's worried about him going to high school football games, or being at home on Halloween, or staying at an emergency shelter during a hurricane. Meanwhile, in Michigan, a man convicted of a sex crime in the 90s is having his parole actively blocked by our Attorney General after being granted by a parole board.
