How are you going to register in NOLA 3 biz days before your 7 day stay as the matrix says above for LA? Leave on the 7th day and don't look back. BTW, Frenchman St is the place to be for a lot of great jazz. Cafe Du Mont is great for coffee and a beignet too, but is cash only.

Spin is very important when it comes to all these sex laws and the registry, since the rationale for all these policies are 99% based off lies, manipulation and deception.

This happened to me, but in the mean time I had proven myself to be an outstanding employee and well liked by everyone (imagine that) so when it was discovered it was difficult for them, my boss and the director called me in, I told them exactly what happened (CP) it was 17 years ago long before I was an employee. They supported me and stood up for me, but it has been horribly difficult at times because of the ignorance. I feel like Jackie Robinson, people hating me and not knowing me, people confused because I was someone they liked, now they are instructed by society to hate me. But I have learned to be very thick skinned, something I never was. Never let them force you out.

I will be going to New Orleans for 7 days. Travel makes me nervous these days. Any issues registering in New Orleans? ugh

Does this mean those of us who are Tier 1 would have a chance to petition for removal again??

I am so sorry to hear. I hope you weren’t put in any uncomfortable situations or were held for an extended period of time. Are you currently registered? For how long? What type of conviction?

I think I've read here in the forum previously that the Bahamas is not a location a PFR should be trying to visit and think it is on the travel matrix as well as a no go.

Arizona did this a few years ago. I wasn't on the web here or on the National site due to being a level 1. Now I am and I worry every day that a coworker or neighbor will find out I'm a PFR

Update 4/26/2026 Bahamas: was turned away in Bahamas just today. I won a trip from The Price Is Right, and yes with Drew Carey, a Bahamas trip. Read on reddit and other sources a successful entry, but the truth, Bahamas is NOT for people forced to register (PFR).

We all deserve our civil rights back! We have all paid our dues!!

She's the "poster boy" of hypocrisy too. Her and her lame-o family.

Haven’t seen that name in years. When looking back, Lauren Guber prosecuted sex crimes and non violent crimes with more gusto than violent crimes and murder. After reading about all of her hypocrisy, the nerve (and audacity) of her! She and her family have no shame! She is absolutely why people cannot trust government. Guber is literally the poster boy of unchecked government tyranny! And she’s a professor, too, for one of the world’s lowest ranking law schools? That’s poetry right there!!!!!

She has been on this kick lately. She was getting a lot of flak from voting against her party so I think this was a way to take the heat off. With all the Epstein controversy nobody will criticize her now as this is her main obsession.

"Urban camping and urban squatting'"? Oh my, how terrifying! 😱 This proposed legislation is absolutely absurd! Why didn't she just write her name in there: "This law will apply to anyone that Ms. Mace finds objectionable for any reason." ?? 🤨😒🙄 I think it should be expanded to include littering and public gum chewing!

If the registry is such a great, necessary public safety tool as they claim, then there's no reason to oppose parole for these two or anyone else. The threat they supposedly pose would be mitigated by registration, would it not? [/sarc]

Legislation is completely unnecessary. Voters have the power to reject any candidate they find unacceptable, and if a candidate has a duty to register, any and all opponents are going to make that fact known. Legislation like this is just a means of kicking folks when they are already down.

https://www.nsopw.gov/?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 I can confirm the IL registry feeds into this registry in real time, or pretty close to it.

I am not a Californian but I would think your birthday has nothing to do with it. I think it's 10 years on the registry, then you can petition. But of course, I defer to Janice.

Yeah California used to be the most strict place to live for PFR they started this madness. Back in the early 2000’s a lot people were fleeing California to different parts of country and different parts of US territories, it got so bad every time they caught one out of state they were from California. Florida was the first state to take action making anyone who ever had to register whether they were removed from the registry or not have to register in their state, and that started a chain reaction. After that the race was on states were creating all kind of laws and ordinance to make their state less desirable for people on the registry. Oregon was the last state left in the US and alot of people stated running there too but Oregon soon was forced to comply with SORNA as well. If you guys pay attention the California DA is closing the 290 petition process and gonna make it harder in the future to petition. That first wave was lucky and believe it or not their only on their second wave but the door is getting narrower by the day and once that new law passes where you must have completed treatment and all the other stuff, people are gonna have hard time getting off because their using everything u said and did in treatment in court and a reconciliation from the treatment instructors and they’ll wright what ever the DA ask they ain’t gonna lose there funding over a PFR. I just feel like people are focused on the wrong things. People who are placed in tier 3 are focused on abolishing the registry completely or 30 year offramp and the people who are tier one and tier 2 are just sitting back quietly in...

you are very lucky..same situation..life on registry...good luck!

So I need some help with some math here. My previous lawyer isn’t responding. so say my birthday is June 1. my sentencing happened in July 27 2017. And I registered maybe 2 weeks after. when would I be able to apply for removal from registration? Would be it June 1 2027, July 27 2027, or when I actually registered for the first time? Charge was possession. It’s a misdemeanor now after being reduced. Sentenced to probation, community service, therapy. Finished all of it and got removed from probation early. in California.

Congrats again @James. Knowing the database is fed from the states confirms what has been said here previously as well shows the system does work rather quickly for most. Enjoy your first international destination when you decide to get there.

Maybe the people should be pressing on the law school to re-evaluate the hiring of her and see if she needs to be retained for the next school year...or ever again all things considered. Bad optics for the school doesn't help.

James, how do you access the federal registry?

Mr. Kevin Guber is actually a psychiatrist (not a psychologist) which makes this arguably even more troubling. As for taxpayer funded compensation for Guber, it appears she's been making lots of money to f**k people over, paid for by "the people." There's a website called Transparent California which lets you search up all local and state government employees in California to see how much they get paid. Here's the link to Guber's profile from Transparent California: Lauren Guber Salary and Compensation In the most recent complete year, from 2023, she was paid $280,020.00 by us. Her California DOJ compensation isn't out yet. Btw, I actually thought Rob Bonta was the lesser of all evils, but I guess not, given how Bonta's office hired a charlatan oppressor like Guber. Then you gotta wonder how much she's getting paid by the law school she's a "professor" at (the law school with the 20% bar pass rate that cost over 100 grand to attend). The people are quite literally being scammed to get oppressed. Oh the irony!!

Anyone know how to find out Guber’s political affiliation? I ask cuz judging by Guber’s tough on crime stance, it would be even more hypocritical of them if they are Republican. Everyone knows the Republican Party is now the Party of Crime, with a “president” with 34 felonies and is found to be a rapist in civil court. I bet Guber wouldn’t prosecute him though. She’s a coward that only goes after regular people! The number one rule for doctors is “do no harm.” But it seems Guber ignores this. She harms defendants’ rights at all costs. “But it’s for the victims?” Oh wait: there’s no evidence to show sex registration is effective. Nor is there concrete evidence to show even jail or prison is effective! Guber and folks like her hold back society from making real progress. This is especially ironic now that we know her husband is a psychologist. The Gubers are shameless hypocrites! I am just absolutely disgusted after learning about all of this, considering the arrogant ignorance of Guber. Their shameless audacity is off the charts! Also how much is Guber getting paid by us taxpayers to violate people’s rights? How can we get her publicly funded salary info payable by US?

Thanks guys for the info. I did learn from just doing a search that I was removed from the national registry within 1 day of being removed from the state. I was removed from the state on April 23. That night I sent DHS an email. Today on April 24 I checked the national registry and I was not there. I think the state feeds into the national because I doubt if an email was received at night on April 23 an employee would have removed me the morning of April 24. I think what I figured out is that the automated DHS generated reply I received relates to the internal databases and not the public database. The reply is confusing because the reply states DHS will only look into removing me if a certain form is received (which I later found) and only if my passport is marked and I am no longer required to be registered or if I was refused entry to a country based upon being marked as on the registry when no longer required to be on a registry. Neither of these two scenarios apply to me. Even though I am off the national registry, I decided I will submit the required form listed in the DHS automated replay email anyway and asked to be removed from all databases. Can not hurt to ask. This way, later this year when I apply for a passport and attempt to use I will have no issues.

I am in California and find myself in a similar situation. I was a county employee in a locked facility in 2008. I was just served papers that I, and from my limited understanding of the verbage, and nine others are being sued for an alleged incident from 2008. The notion the actual evidence is needed seems to no longer exist. I can't even get any kind confirmation that the county is going to support me in court. I am pretty sure that I will offered as a scapegoat because of a conviction earned years later for CP.

Negative. I have not petitioned to be removed. I was surprised nothing was mentioned but I am ok with that since they offered me employment.

It's difficult as hell to deprogram people that have thier fears used against them!

Hi TS -- Are you a former PFR who petitioned off the registry at some point? Just trying to see if this is a similar situation to ours whereby the concern was the BC company mishandling/misinterpreting the petition records. Thanks.

The article was a well written article that showed both sides of the argument. One side shows fear mongering and wants to cut out a portion of the community from the immunity, which violates CA Constitution Article 1, Section 7(b) that states, "A citizen or class of citizens may not be granted privileges or immunities not granted on the same terms to all citizens." The other side shares facts, research, and the fact they belong to the immunity passed by Californians. In the article, it actually shares a lot of facts from low recidivism rates to years of research the recidivism rates lessen the older one becomes. Please don't let this immunity be stripped away like it already has been stripped away from 1203.4 registrants.

James, Congrats on getting off the registry! I don't about the national registry, but I do know that you should contact DHS to notify you are no longer on the registry, which affects your passport. In that sense, the US gov't acknowledges you are no longer on any US registry and removes the demarcation that you are on the registry on your passport, essentially also telling the world you are not on any registry. Your state registry system should have notified DHS.

Thanks for the update @matthew. This is not related to my post either, but I just received an employment background check too yesterday and nothing derogatory is on it. My conviction is nearly 15 years ago and there is nothing about the list.

Lawmakers and the media have actually shaped public opinion to believe that everyone on the list is doing Epstein level sh*t. This is the end result.

I'd say based upon what I have read from others here in the forum over the duration, you need to wait for the cycle to catch up to the state registry the feds feed from. I get you want to have it removed pronto, but that may need some elected official assistance in WDC to get it expedited, if they will assist you and if those being asked by the elected official's office will do it.

The fear these people are propagating is nothing new as we are aware. The system is set up as it is to take of those who cannot take care of themselves, e.g., committed, if needed. These people don't like that. So, with that, you have to take the route of fighting fire with fire...you merely tell them they are a greater statistical probability of doing harm to a minor due to their proximity and positions they hold in relation to minors and you do that so it is on the record while they are hearing or reading it. Until they understand this fact, being nice with them does not always work and may never work. Let'em take exception to it, but the truth is out there and the stats prove that. It is nothing personal, well, it is actually, but it is just who they are in relation to the minor.

The simple answer is because the government has been lying about it since the 90s and very few people have challenged it. People like to think that they "don't trust the government," but that's really only true for things that either the liberal or conservative media have told them to distrust. For most things, people are perfectly happy to trust the government, and the government says that PFRs are highly likely to reoffend. While most of the worst crimes against us are by Republicans, the Democrats rarely come to our aid, and even in this article it's a Democrat, Stephanie Nguyen, who authored this bill and says "I don't know if you can change from that." This is a great article though. This part in particular is very strong: "Keith Wattley founded the nonprofit organization UnCommon Law to represent and help counsel incarcerated individuals with life sentences through their parole board and reentry journeys. Since 2006, UnCommon Law has seen 350 clients earn parole and reenter society successfully. “Elderly parole is one of those   mechanisms that we have that’s proven to work,” said Wattley. “The fact that there’s never been a single person who had a sex offense, was released with elderly parole, and committed a new sex offense after the release — that’s pretty good evidence that the process works in terms of serving public safety. “The harm caused by these types of crimes is especially disturbing to most people. So I understand the anger, even the outrage, but the thing that’s missing is that the outrage is disconnected from the person’s current risk.”"

Terrible idea. It's going to ruin young peoples' lives, professionally, emotionally and financially. As a "no post" of 23 years, I was able to live most of my adult life in peace, privacy and was able to rebuild my life, until it was all upended again when SB 384 passed and all my info became public.

I've got news for everyone, there's no such thing as a "safe neighborhood."

It is not hard to disprove the lie as that has already been done by the author himself. It is getting the folks to read, understand, acknowledge, and then espouse it as needed instead of continuing to lie otherwise. Their behavior needs to be called out at every turn whether in person or otherwise. Embarrassing them with the facts when it their time to shine will only show the people who they truly are as legislators. However, there are folks who won't care because of the principle of what they believe, frightening and high.

Glad to hear that Matthew. The biggest problem with them making these mistakes is that employers may not "unsee" the references to past PFR status. Especially in today's brutal job market, employers could easily say that the budget changed and the job is being cancelled (or 100 other excuses). If you haven't done so, it would be really helpful to all of us if you could write another letter to the company and express 1) how damaging their mistake might be and 2) to please assess all processes and fix the failure so it does not reoccur. Hopefully you can let us know what the employer does as that would be good to follow. But I am happy for you that this outcome came out of it instead of some protracted fight with them about fixing a mistake of their own making. Cheers man.

Why is it so hard to disprove this lie? It has been studied and studied, and the conclusion is that the recidivism rate is extremely low. So, where and how is the disconnect? It's easy to lie, but it is easier to PROVE that it's a lie. End of story!

Look up the PFEC, Firearm Eligibility Check. Send that into the California DOJ and you'll get a letter back saying if you're good or not.

thank you so much

thank you so much

Not having the same luck with the feds. Sent my email to them last night and the automated generated email response says in a nutshell if you believe you are no longer required to register to please send the email along with a Certification of Identity Form. Can't find form. And states "Please note, inquiries received at this email address will not receive a response unless they include the completed Certification of Identity form and are related to a notification that has been made to a foreign government or are related to a passport marking that is already on your current passport." Neither of these facts are true in my case. So the way I read, unless one of those facts are true, and I send the form related to one of those facts, I will not be removed from the national registry. Must be a new policy to not remove people unless one of those facts are true. I guess I am not coming off the national registry even though I am on no state registries.

I know this has nothing to do with your post but I remember you asking for an update on my background check when it came to the termination paperwork being a public record. They ended up clearing me on everything and resending the background check results to the employer. I am not sure how it will play out with them but it was crazy it had to be disputed.

Id be willing to bet ya its not a order saying...Slow down their moving to fast. 🤪

Sad, but true

from PACER

Apparently the judge dropped an order on this.

This is political posturing at its finest. Depending on which pole you read, she is third in the GOP primary race but within 4 percentage points of the leader. She's got to pull stunts like this so she can make a showing in the South Carolina governoir race. No Democrat has won much in South Carolina of late.

More idiocy. Does this guy really think that the person forced to register (PFR) who was there for a church service is simply going to grab and grope at every child he can reach, and that all others in attendance will just stand there and watch? How about this: I believe any member of the public who is denied access and use of public property and/or services should receive a tax credit as a supplement for said denial.

Just a thought here. It says the justice department cannot charge a Californian. However I bet if they travel interstate they still could. How can 1 set of Americans have different laws then others? Unfortunately I'm from MN and registered for 10 years. Now I am off the registry and they wont register me and I have no idea if I would have to register under Sorna . Americans have the uninalienable right to travel but here it seems if I do have to register and I cannot then therefore I cannot travel interstate.

Congratulations @James!

Somebody please dumb this down for me. I'm just not seeing how this incident would have been prevented if this registrant's entry were publicly accessible. Assuming the release of the sheriff's department ( https://sheriff.ongov.net/2025/06/onondaga-county-sheriffs-office-arrests-ryan-pontello-for-sexual-assault-of-a-child/ ) is reasonably accurate, there is absolutely no indication I can see that the registry would have made a difference even if his entry were publicly available. Not to mention that of all crimes he was indicated for, there isn't one single registry violation among them. I have doubts about the reporting's accuracy. It seems pretty doubtful to me that a 5-year-old would be at a playground, unsupervised. So whatever supervision was there could not have been very attentive if they didn't notice a stranger walking off with the child that they accompanied. It's very unlikely that someone in the neighborhood knew the registrant's history despite not being publicly accessible and set him up. I remember reading a couple of Halloweens seasons ago about a guy who spent almost a year complaining and gathering signatures in failed attempts to chase out the registrant who lived across the street from him. By sheer coincidence [/sarc], it was his daughter who was supposedly lured into the registrant's house. Merely having doubts is not sticking up for the registrant here. If there is actual forensic evidence proving the allegations, burn him at the stake. I'll light the match. But the point of this writing is to once again show the registry's uselessness at its purported purpose. Note also that it's a tiered registry, meaning it is more costly in terms of dollars and man-hours while remaining equally useless.

Wohoo, just a few minutes ago I received an email from my registering LE, and I just verified, but as of today after more than 20 years on the registry, I am no longer on my state registry (and I have never been on any other state registry as I comply with all visitation rules). Now I have to work on the national and all the private companies... In my state of Texas, if one is to register post ten years after the end of punishment, there is no court petition needing to be done. It is handled through the registering LE and the state agency that maintains the registry.

Jfc unbelievable. There’s a reason why people don’t trust government anymore. It’s because of jerks, like the Gubers, that want to win the rat race of life at all costs. At the end… we all end up in the same place. Can the Gubers be so tone deaf not to see how their job’s functions are at blatantly immoral odds? In a functional country this kinda crap should be a clear ethical breach… enough to pull these trashholes’ professional licenses. At this point we should create an online petition and support group to call for justice and bring public attention to the Gubers. “Playing it both ways” is exactly what they’re doing! I bet they have a big house and lots of blood money from all this hypocrisy too!! How do these slimy f***ers sleep at night?! We The People demand this kind of PREDATORY PROFITEERING to stop!!! If our courts are smart, they’ll take opposite sides of whatever Guber takes. Guber has proven to be on the wrong side of history. Gone are the days when district attorneys, attorney generals and prosecutors were considered “good” people. They’ve mostly proven to be bigoted and ignorant opportunists like Guber. With that I completely agree with both of your takes; can’t trust her or anyone related to her, professionally or familiar. With all of that said I will be changing heath insurance from Kaiser Permanente to Blue Shield PPO when open enrollment starts in October. F**k Kaiser! I will be giving my reason for leaving Kaiser to their customer service when I leave ‘em. 🤮

Hot for Teacher? Try Hot for Student? (FAC, 22 Apr 2026) Look at the list of educators written about in a 24 hr period related to sex incidents with students. Time to start making school boards squirm in their seats at board meetings on this topic.

 "I am confident that this legislation will help make America safe again.” Again? When was America ever safe?

They have the budget for this like everything else?

And here’s the updated schedule; Week of April 27 - May 1, 2026, in Detroit, MI (updated 4/20/26 at 7:43 a.m.)

Here’s more information if my phone works; 210 Apr 23, 2026 Main Doc Order on Motion - Free

You ended up with 59 thumbs up and 1 thumb down, so your comment garnered a lot of attention.

Homelessness is now a reason to be civilly committed. Since people forced to register make up a good-sized portion of the homeless population, it's no mystery that this partially intended to put away those of us they couldn't get before

If a person has completed his/her obligation to the state in which they were convicted, why does the Federal Government want to further Punish that individual? I'm gonna call it what it is "Punishment". If a person has been removed from the registry, that person should be able to go anywhere they wish because they have fulfilled there obligations. Everything involved with Sex Offenses should fall under the Criminal Jurisdiction. None of this Emotional Civil action stuff. Once you have been determined not to be a threat you are done period.

So now being homeless is reason enough to be subjected to an evaluation for civil commitment once in custody? Not sure how that will fly with equal protection, unless they're going to start evaluating everyone in custody.

Never heard this part but what if you have COR but still on registry?

Hello Athena -- I reside in one of those towns and have a good handle on the general landscape of this area. Happy to trade some messages with you. The Moderator has my permission to pass along my email associated with this post if you're interested and want to reach out to them.

The foothills near Pasadena are nice as well. La Crescenta, Montrose, Even parts of Sunland. I would suggest a visit to the Descanso Botanical Gardens in La Canada which is near as well.

Couple of questions -if you had been turned away would they have sent you back to the USA or to the country you flew in from? And if they sent you back from your originating country would they have advised the country as to the reason why you were turned back? thanks, I realize these might just be unknowns. But maybe others have actual information about these.

20 miles west - is that still in LA? We are starting to explore the area. Playa del Rey, Torrance, Hawthorne. Very pricey so we will stay small. Any thoughts appreciated.

With advanced technologies like facial recognition already in use, there is simply no excuse for why the problem of AI generated CSAM can't be solved with technology. Very simply, it should be blocked. Why spend millions, if not billions to track down, prosecute, and incarcerate people, even teenagers, when we could shut it down at the source. Just filter it out like sludge in the tap water whenever it's generated or when it's transmitted. We've gone completely crazy these days in our zeal to destroy people that we miss the obvious solutions.

“There’s a real level of frustration,” Timken said. “You have parents of children who are very concerned about this possibility, you have frustration on the part of prosecutors who feel they, they can’t appropriately charge these people.” I think it's pretty sick when you have politicians & prosecutors that are "frustrated" for not finding a charge that can stick and send people to prison over something that doesn't involve sexual contact with a real child.

That's great news! I was a little concerned about you, but it sounds like you made it to the finish line.😊Taking your SS check and getting out of the country is a very good ideal since you wouldn't have to worry about the registry, and your funds will take you further. You'll still have the front page passport mark, however Europe doesn't seem to be a problem, but it's cheaper outside the EU in Albania & Georgia which allow Americans to stay a year. Even Kosovo would be better than being on the streets of America! Some people on this forum are also in SE Asia, so you have options, buddy. Just use your time to study up on the culture & language of the place you want to go. Most of all, stay disciplined & out of trouble...you'll be good!

Hey! I was wondering where you were. I hope things are well & holding up for you down there.

Can we pass a law that requires the civil commitment of Nancy Mace?!?!?!?

The reason they approved it is right there in the article. Too many were able to petition and too many were successful. The legislature never intended the Tiered registry to let off more than a few hundred at most per year while getting ACSOL off their ass.

There's actually more discussion about Lauren Guber here: New California Law Cracks Down on Cheating Prosecutors Lauren Nicole Guber (State Bar # 245493) is known for screwing over many registrants. But, I didn't know she also oppressed people on non-RSO cases? Looking back, she gave off not only a 'rude' vibe, but also a toxic and vindictive vibe. I hope Lauren Guber isn't a mother because I get the strong feeling that she'll be one of those parents that their kids will end up disliking (especially as they get older). Also, as the PFR population keeps getting bigger, I think Guber's hardhandedness will prove to be shortsighted. It's important that we keep in our history books the names of the tyrants (like Guber) so that we never forget how we got there in the future. Also, in regard to her (alleged) husband, Kevin Guber M.D., quite frankly, it really takes pieces of sh*ts to reconcile a 'family' system where a prosecutor (Lauren) can return to a comfortable and stable home, after arguing for the incarceration of someone whose 'crime' was driven by the very illnesses her alleged husband (Kevin) treats. Someone said it above; but this is absolutely 'piece of sh*t behavior.' And, if the allegations are true, how long has this couple been doing this bizarre and grotesque thing for? Does anyone know of any kind of professional ethics that this sickening contrast violates? Anyway, welcome to the forums. I am sure I'm not the only one who thanks you for sharing your experience not only about Guber, but also our corrupt, backwards and intellectually dishonest court system. Godspeed

Pasadena is a beautiful city. We have friends and family that live out there (I’m about 20 miles west) and it never disappoints.

The Search of John Doe Written By Quiet too long 04/22/2026   John Doe started his search the way anyone would: with hope. Fifty states. Three and a half million square miles. Surely, he thought, somewhere in all that space, there had to be room for one man to live. He opened maps, county sites, zoning codes, and real‑estate listings. He looked at cities, suburbs, rural towns, and the empty places between them. He wasn’t looking for luxury — just a legal place to exist. But the deeper he went, the more the map changed. First, he learned that federal land — nearly a million square miles — was off‑limits to everyone. Then he saw that farmland took another 1.3 million. Water, another 265,000. Industrial zones, protected lands, private holdings — all gone. He kept subtracting. Then came the part that wasn’t about the general public at all. The part that applied only to him. Buffers.  Circles around schools, day cares, parks, churches, transit stops, hospitals, shelters, libraries, youth centers, hotels, motels, RV parks, mobile home parks — thousands upon thousands of them. Each one small on its own. Together, they swallowed states. When he added everything — the structural land nobody could live on, plus the buffer zones only he was barred from — the number stared back at him: 2,824,500 square miles. That was the land he could not live on. Not because it was owned. , occupied, unsafe. But because the law drew circles around ordinary places and called them forbidden. He sat with the number. The United States has about 3.5 million square miles of land. If 2.8 million were off‑limits, that left: ≈ 675,500 square miles  where he could legally live if someone would rent or sell to him without bias. It sounded big until...

“California Senate Bill 1395 (2025-2026 session), known as "Kayleigh’s Law" and introduced in February 2026, aims to strengthen protections for victims of sexual offenses, particularly minors. It proposes allowing courts to issue permanent (lifetime) protective orders against defendants convicted of certain registrable sex offenses against a child, addressing concerns over the re-victimization of survivors during renewal hearings.” We cannot allow Kayleigh (she is a victim from 20 years ago) to get the ears of legislators. She has partnered with Senator Shamp AZ in creating numerous more restrictive and retroactive bills for Arizona. Especially Sb1236 and SB1404 from 2024. These two bills put level one people with a conviction against a minor under 15 on the public site and subject to community notification. Those who had NOT been public for 40 years were made public. Not that they were deemed a high risk but because they had the sentencing enhancement of 13-705 - Dangerous Crimes Against Children under age 15 (DCAC) Plus if a DCAC person has minor children, the schools are notified as well.

A bill of pains and penalties is a legislative act, rather than a judicial sentence, that imposes punishment—less severe than death—on specifically named individuals or groups for alleged crimes like treason or felony. It acts as a form of legislative punishment without a trial, historically used in England and prohibited in the U.S. by the Constitution. LII | Legal Information Institute  +3 Key Aspects of a Bill of Pains and Penalties Legislative Judgment: It allows a legislature to bypass the judiciary and determine guilt directly.Non-Capital Punishment: Unlike a full "Bill of Attainder" (which imposes death), a bill of pains and penalties inflicts lesser punishments, such as imprisonment, banishment, or fines.Violation of Separation of Powers: It is often considered a tool of tyranny or "despotic discretion," where legislatures act as judges.Constitutional Prohibition: The U.S. Constitution, in Article I, Sections 9 and 10, forbids both Congress and state legislatures from passing bills of attainder, a prohibition that Supreme Court interpretation applies to bills of pains and penalties as well.Definition: These measures were often used to target specific individuals deemed enemies of the state, punishing them for past actions without conventional court evidence. LII | Legal Information Institute +5Historically, these acts allowed lawmakers to avoid standard legal procedures (like requiring proof or testimonies) to penalize individuals. The Bill of pains and penalties definition in Britannica and the historical analysis in Bills of Attainder | U.S. Constitution Annotated at LII | Legal Information Institute both emphasize this bypassing of the judicial system. More analysis from The University of Chicago confirms that these are acts of a criminal nature. LII | Legal Information Institute  +3

With only two hours left to vote, the tally is 78 percent stating that registrants can be rehabilitated and only 22 percent stating they cannot. Many thanks to those who voted! We flipped the outcome in just a few days. Well done.

By carving out exceptions for 'those' sex crimes, but not mine. You make sure that no change will ever happen.

Mike G: I suggest you file a FOIA Request (I think when it pertains to you/yourself, it's called a Privacy Act Request). Anyway, you can file it online with the DOJ or the Marshals Service (or maybe even Angel Watch). I would aim it at the DOJ more broadly. You will need to include the information about the travel, the incident, etc. I submitted one years ago when my Paris Airport incident occurred. As I recall, it took about six months to receive a response, but the response included about 70 pages on emailed internal/official correspondence and, around page 60, I found what I was looking for - it indicated that I had been declared a "fugitive" because my 21-Day ATN had not been received in a timely manner by the Marshals Service/Angel Watch.

It's notable that the European Commission states the following legal right: "Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed than the one that was applicable at the time the criminal offence was committed." [Link] I wonder how the Registries would be thought of by the EU.

It is the NY Post which is not above the Enquirer at your cash register when it comes to journalistic integrity of knowing the facts to start.

I don't mind being a Guinea Fowl. I'll apply when the online application becomes available. (And I will, of course, report my experience back here for all to see.

If I am interested in visiting Canada, where would you recommend I drive in? What entry/crossing point? Thanks in advance! (I am in Western US (California). (Off all registries & unmarked passport, but felony conviction history exists.)

Thank you! Very helpful

I wonder if NY Post writers even live in NYC. I worked there, and I currently live in a city, and I can tell you that no one in a major city is afraid of people living in apartments nearby parks they go to--the issue is ALWAYS with people who are ALREADY LOITERING IN THE PARK, whether they're teenagers, drunk old men, or antagonistic cult members. These people are either homeless or often don't live anywhere near the park and just hop on a subway or bus to go bother people at a park where no one knows them. And you just teach your kids to steer clear of them. But once again, the problem is with the REGISTRY. Why is the government telling citizens that PFRs in your area are dangerous if that isn't true? Because the government is LYING. The registry is slander, because it sends a direct message to all Americans that some people are IMMEDIATELY DANGEROUS even when they aren't by every measure we have.

Honestly I have no clue. But if you land at Hanaeda they still have the option for the paper slip as well. There was a guy with felony drug charge that came through a couple weeks ago by putting no, and one of my friends came through on Monday with a misdemeanor one also putting no. Some have answered yes but then lied about their charge saying it was a misdemeanor and only got community service. But everything is a 50/50. For me it would have eaten me alive if I put no because I'd be afraid they would go back and check then I'd get banned for life. Much of Asia so far I've noticed if there wasn't a notice sent from the US there hasn't been much issue. Like they say Thailand is supposed to turn you away but I've not had an issue going in. Same with SK and Singapore. Vietnam I was able to get a visa and go in. Kenya I had a visa but not sure if they turn people away from that tourist trap. I've got 1 long term visa in one country SEA and PR in another. But those are through my wife and marriage visas don't generally ask for a background check outside of the country.

One thing I found recently is that there are statute of limitations in constitutional violations? Our main founding document. Yet the immunities are what is creating the corruption internally. There should be NO statute of limitations on ANY constitutional violations, it would give the power back to the people. I've tried to find a lawyer inside the state of Kentucky since 2015 to look into my case and it has been post poned so much to the point it's pointless now. They know it's a rigged system. Yet there's so many constitutional violations in my case and there's nothing to be done. False statements, fake evidence, failed council, etc. Yet it was on me to prove my innocence. How are you supposed to prove that when everyone that convicted you faked it til they made it? Go back to court and win and then the state would possibly pick your case back up and reconvict as if it never happened in the first place.

I’m in Ohio too. Yes! This group wants to punish those on the registry because they’ve decided that they’re “a danger to society”, but in my humble opinion… these *vigilantes* are more dangerous to society. Our nation seems to be providing these unstable “wannabe heroes” a hit list with the names and addresses of their potential victims.

50 States 3244 Counties Written by Quiet too long 04/22/2026    The mirror’s 3,244 prejudicial shattered shards sparkle bright and far, each one carrying the registry’s taint of stigma — and they represent the only light the public is compelled to follow.

That sounds great, NY. But I was in the pen longer than a year for a sex crime. Do your think they would find out if I lied? I wouldn't fly direct from the USA

Not true...they specifically mention under the security risk assessment section that "sexual offenses against children" carry the highest risk scores. So it's not just sexual exploitation of children. Sure, ETIAS.com may not be the official website, but the purveyor of that site is not going to risk their credibility by blatantly putting out inaccurate information. Let alone expose themselves to scrutiny or legal action from the European Union

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/us--congress-ethics-cherfilus-mccormick-113619725.html Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida said... “But let me say this plainly: we should be very careful about the precedent we are setting in this country, we do not punish people before due process is complete," she said. "We do not allow allegations alone to override the will of the people. That is a dangerous patch, and one that should concern every American, regardless of party.” Uh, ok.
