International Payoffs Written by Quite too long 11/08/2026 Many of our prisons and government-help institutions require constant tax grants to survive. When a system depends on continual growth and new participants to maintain itself, it becomes a Ponzi scheme and serves the caregivers and investors rather than the public; the public is charged through unseen taxes. That concern becomes even greater when private investments, international corporate growth with no community benefits, or other sources of revenue begin to require grants to stay afloat. At that point, this shifts increasingly onto taxpayers, creating failing systems. Prisons can become part of that cycle, especially private, internationally contracted prisons. These private entities lock governments into minimum occupancy clauses, legally forcing taxpayers to pay penalties if 80% to 100% of the prison beds aren't filled. A person goes to jail, loses employment, housing, savings, property, family stability, and community connections. The public foots the bill for so many years at an inflated rate while international corporations grow and profit. The two major private detention monopolies, GEO Group and CoreCivic, pull in over $1.4 billion in revenue in a single quarter, securing massive annual corporate revenues of roughly $2.2 billion to over $2.9 billion off public tax dollars. When they are released, they often have to start over from scratch. They need housing again, transportation again, employment again, and a way to rebuild everything they lost. They must rebuy everything. This is how international corporations win and American investors profit. If the goal is public safety and rehabilitation—which it's not, because they won't make money from it—the only income the states have left is market investments and taxes. Normally, a system should be measured by how successfully people can reintegrate or survive society and become productive, self-sufficient citizens. A system that repeatedly places life-altering restrictions...

We’re like, ‘Holy cow. I wonder how many other houses are being told that’s the address when it’s not,’” Barrett said, as he found the same errors. “It’s a big scare for sure. If it’s wrong, then people can get targeted. I think it’s huge that that information is correct.” What would he do if someone injured or killed a family member because their house had a red dot on it or nearby? People can move into homes that registrants were forced out of due to residency restrictions. TIme to end the public registry and place these terrorists on notice.

Sue the jurisdiction. They can't claim immunity here.

I am not sure, but it might help with registrants seeking asylum in other countries.

The Feds don’t have access to, nor are they routinely informed of, citizens’ travels to foreign countries that originate in foreign countries … just throwing this thought your way to mull over.

The victim is upset because they got his house accidentally. He isn't upset that a person on the registry would be targeted.

Of course, these laws are not about protection. Decades of data prove that. They are about government sponsored revenge. Such an evil motive. The beautiful state of Florida has become a dark, perverted den of vipers--the state and local governments. Homelessness, joblessness, a lack of stable relationships will inevitably drive up the non-sexual crime stats in Florida. How sad.

The national database is responsible for the damage done to their home as well as Farcebook as aptly named for such postings.

We don't know what the vote was on the petition to hear the Halloween sign case other than Justice Alito wanted to hear it. New Democratic Senate Spells Doom for Trump's Judicial Nominees (Reason.com 5 Nov 2026) The Senate's new Democratic majority is unlikely to approve any Republican judges.

Didn't SCOTUS essentially voted11-1 to uphold that the Halloween Restrictions were unconstitutional? Granted, it was Alito who wanted to hear the case, but that 11-1 decision not to hear it spoke a higher volume of the courts. I think Justice Barrett is more moderate than Republican, based upon here voting decisions. Justice Jackson is beyond the rails for me with her outrageous opinions that too scary for the other Democrats Justices to concur with her. I don't trust Chief Justice Roberts because he goes beyond what the case inspects. Justice Thomas is on the opposing of CJ Roberts in that he focuses only what is presented and nothing more. Yet, I truly believe that using the false fact of "frightening and high" 80% or higher recidivism rate had tainted case disparagingly. When the conclusion of that false fact is that those individuals are irredeemable, then it becomes easier to overlook some rights. That is what happened with the Japanese Internment camps that was discovered in the Korematsu case.

Marissa Roy with 43% and John McKinney with 28%. Funny thing is McKinney claims he was "nonpartisan" but his record is very right-wing, pro-bootlicker. What a two face (like Guber)!! The scumbags like Guber/McKinney that "serve" us are literally playing it in "the people's" faces!! When will people wake up!?!

Switched to Blue Shield this past week and gave my reason to Kaiser why. It's actually quite disturbing the Gubers play it both ways and people are only calling it out now.

I've talked to attorneys before about this declaration of human rights. And united states has not followed any of it. And they should. How can you draft something and make everyone else own up and not yourself? Makes absolutely no sense. I questioned about contacting the international courts myself. So I'm ecstatic to see someone with a little muscle pushing it. Every one has the right to work and provide for one's self. The original homestead act doesn't exist any longer to where you can apply for property and have the ability to provide for yourself. Now it's basically inevitable that you need money to pay something whether it be taxes or whatever. My family had a conversation lastnight about how we was all raised NOT to use government programs like food stamps, there for the ones that need it. You work a job gain your independence and make a good life for yourself. This registry scheme is so brutal it basically makes you tired of keeping your nose above the water. And you feel it every day. I'm tired of being a burden to my family. I've tried to move on the best I could and still flopped. The program is designed to make people fail. And the legal system that is broken uses it as a means to push for votes instead of doing their jobs like they should be and providing stability for Americans. Instead our politicians have stepped into other people's back yards whether it be for money or power. America has lost its true way. The real meaning of what it means to be American. Continuous writing of laws and regulations that have continuously mounded to the point it's causing the economy to struggle. Governments are meant to control a populace into a direction or...

The US has ignored the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ever since Eleanor Roosevelt helped chair the drafting of it. Can someone please help this pessimist understand what the purpose of FAC letter is? Other than a symbolic show of support with literally zero legal force? I haven't posted here in a long while maybe because I make the air heavy in the room. But I genuinely am trying to see meaningful and powerful progress towards registry abolition. I have only seen piecemeal decisions dealing with the aftereffects of a registry scheme that changes whenever someone wants to introduce a new restriction to help with a reelection. I mean if registrants being victims of homicide, their family members being the subject of harassment, or banishment from living a "normal" life (within a city or town mind you) doesn't move the needle, what will? Can anyone on this forum offer me some light. Because I really want and need to hear something. Anything!

Unfortunately, Wisconsin has the weird notion that they can require me to register for life even though I submitted (and they accepted) an address change to overseas. I wasn't asking about a return visit to the US, but rather what if I decide to travel further from where I am and take a vacation for a couple of weeks to another country. The Federal rules require notification to my registration jurisdiction for trips away from home for 7 or more nights, so if I take a vacation from where I am to another country for a couple of weeks, it would seem that I'm obligated to inform Wisconsin. Returning to the US for a visit is a whole other bundle of PITA, since I have to submit both the temporary address information AND submit a 21-day notice since I'll once again be departing from the US. Such a PITA.

Morning coffee with my friends.. and reading the latest

I think its hit or miss situation. I wouldn't fly direct, you never know what these F***** up agencies are doing in the background. I just helped a friend integrate here, came off the registry now and no identifier, but also did not take the chance of flying direct. And Like I said before, DHS knows how we travel

I left the USA 5 years ago, From California, I did a change of address to Europe, which was submitted to DOJ, within 24 hours I was taken off the registry. ( Oddly enough, when I was leaving the USA I tried submitting the 21 days notice and my agency officer got upset at me because I submitted the wrong paperwork and made me do a change of address, go figure) When I left the first time I had no Identifier in PP, I returned the first time to California and reported to my registering agency, they put me back on the registry for the 2 months I was back, when I left the USA they took me off the registry again. Traveling around Europe and SE Asia ate up my PP pages. I went to the Embassy to get a new PP. It came back with the Identifier. I have the Identifier for 2 years now. Im not anywhere on any registry but have the marking, according to Janice ( Hi Janice ) and ai , I cant get it removed even though I haven't resided in the USA for 5 years.

Since there are 7 weeks left in the calendar year, I wanted to bring this to all the people who are forced to register attention and on Medicaid: The new Medicaid work requirements go in effect January 1st, 2027. Meaning if you want to receive State Medicaid medical insurance, you'll need to work 80 hours per month or $580 in one month. That was based on my phone call today with the state health Care office. Unless you meet one of the exemptions, people who have convictions which preclude them from full-time employment, it could get mighty shaky with medical coming January 1st. That is all for your public service announcement on medical care.

For those that aren’t aware, there is a petition going on to try end public registration. I’ll be posting the link, for everyone to chime in there vote and sign if wanting to. https://c.org/6twfy887wM

I signed from Maryland and I hope other registrants, their families/friends, and other supporters send a loud message to Fresno that we aren't taking your shit anymore. If they continue with the tough on crime ordinances and laws based on emotions filled by fear and hate then they can see Janice in court to have their asses handed to them. Janice needs a bigger purse or handbag for future lawsuits and maybe swings it around for good measure knocking down some politicians of their high horses in the process.

So, one thing that will impact PFRs from the mid-term elections (besides the crazy state of FLA putting into office another guvnah who will shun PFRs despite himself being a convicted criminal who reformed himself and should be continually reminded of such when he decides to crap on PFRs, et al they are associated with) is Assoc Justice Alito retiring and the ability to replace him with someone like him in the current administration. If he was to retire today there would be less than 60 days to vet and confirm the replacement before the newly seated Congress does all it can to stem the impact the last two years of the current administration can have on the country. If AJ Alito follows through in retiring next summer as he has alluded to possibly doing, that could mean an even court the following session (last year of the current administration) and any cases PFRs could benefit from may be stymied. POTUS won't nominate anyone who will be more like what the Congress prefers and thus a year of possibly 4-4 ties is a real threat. As we have discussed, elected and appointed bodies such as Congress and judicially are not friends of one who has a conviction, but especially those who are labeled PFRs. However, even courts are not friends to either side in the end if 4-4 ties are possible. I realize the court is more conservative today, but that does not mean, as we have seen, it will always be a defeat for PFRs or those who are more conservative will vote with their conservative judicial siblings in robes to create a 5-3 conservation voting majority.

Will Beagle be granted cert today?

The experience from those in the forum has been those who return from their overseas residence file their return back to it from the USA with the registration office they last registered with. 21 days is the time marker but intended visits can be less than that time and so can the return trip back overseas. "Intended travel" is the key as it is noted in the registry posting the text specifically related to this travel.

Are you still providing annual registration verification to a state? The states are responsible for running registry schemes; you register wherever you live and/or work/stay for extended periods. You don't register with the Federal government. In this case, check with whatever state or states that you have to register with, or with whom you last registered. They may say that you're no longer on their registry. If you're not on any registry, ask Angel Watch Center to confirm that you're no longer subject to IML. Once you have that confirmation in hand, you have proof that you no longer need to submit 21 day notification, and you can request a new passport without the marker.

@Athena - Oh, I believe that those in power also believe in redemption, but their job is to harass, shun and punish those who have long moved on from their past offenses (sex offenses that is, since other offenses don't endure this punishment after time has been served). If they voiced that they agree with us, they would not get re-elected, and that is all that matters to them. They don't care about the families, and yes, children, who are harmed by the registry. They are only in it to win, but anyone with a half a brain knows this is punishment, including those in power. They have an agenda, and that's it.

OML SO, so we'll written Janice, Esq., I read this I'll and @03:am. It even makes people think, stop then how your tax dollars are wasted in this bill if it were ti come into City code. Not effective, surely. This will wake up so many turning a blind eye to equality, and common sense so many lack in such a red county area of uneducated fear mongering goverment locally with a severe past history of just the same. Thank you Janice. The 1400 thank you as well as many are not even afforded info as the internet let alone housing issues exist prior and one of the worst in this Golden State that some do not have employment nor the means to communicate including knowledge of this horrible outcome the City is seeking to look and sound good to their constituents and fear mongering uneducated and undereducated citizens

And if someone has been living out of the US for years? What's the obligation then? There doesn't appear to be any clear guidance on reporting requirements for someone still on the registry who lives overseas to submit a 21-day notice for future travels. I'm required to report a planned departure from the US 21 days in advance. But what about after a year living outside the US? Unless I'm changing my place of residence or establishing a temporary residence, I don't see where there is any need to submit anything - including no 21-day notice. I'd guess that the "more than 7 days" away from registered address bit would apply if I decided to take a trip to another country, but that would be about it if I decide to travel from here.

These are some links I found recently. I don't know if they get results or not though. People are selling your home address online. This privacy tool will help. Report a problem, Google search help. Request to have your personal content removed from Google search.

I would not, Ultimately your decision

100%. And for those people who are cruel and vindictive and don't believe in redemption or providing fair chances, the economics of forcing people out of work, out of homes, back into prison is staggering. We are paying for these bad policies by the billions, trillions over time. I personally very much believe in people and their ability to grow and change and become better, but seems those in power do not.

An even bigger douchebag is DA John McKinney. Guber's coworker, DA John McKinney, lost his election by a pretty substantial number. Agreed that he's a D-Bag.

Guber sort of reminds me of that corrupt and hypocritical prosecutor from the Making a Murderer His name was Ken Kratz, a total weirdo, and hypocrite. Funny thing is Lauren Guber looks like Ken Kratz with a wig on. Google these exact words: "prosecutors are the most disliked people." See that we are not in the minority when it comes to how we view prosecutors as extremely unlikable, corrupt, and hypocritical. Prosecutors are some of the most disgusting people.

Lauren Guber can't even manage her own life... what business does she have advocating for "the people?" SMH... we have the absolute worst people in government.

If you plan on flying anywhere while still subject to IML it's important to know what you're obligated to report 21 days in advance. Provide whatever your state asks for. But know that if it's an IML compliant state, or if your state requires you to fill out the official US Marshal's trip reporting form, it requires you to provide ALL the details of your itinerary: From the form: "Other information: any specifics about itinerary (airline & flight number, ship name, date/times of arrival and departure, ***multiple stops or layovers***);" So if you buy tickets from wherever you first plan to fly to first to other countries before you submit the 21 day notice, you'd be obligated to list the 2nd country, because buying tickets proves intent to travel to the 2nd country. If you buy it afterwards but before you travel, it's not clear but probably you're obligated to inform your state of the update to your itinerary, maybe even after you arrive in the 1st country but before you travel to the 2nd. **That being said**, it's unclear from the form if the obligation to report "multiple stops or layovers" includes an obligation to provide the **airline/flight number, ship name, date/ties of arrival and departure** to the other countries. Which is frustrating as hell given that if you fill out the form wrong and the Feds catch it, I think you'd be liable for "failure to report international travel", which is a felony. Since ignorance of the law is no defense, I think the safest thing to do in that case is to have proof that you've tried to be fully compliant by asking your state if you're obligated to provide the travel details to the 2nd country. That way you have an affirmative defense if the Feds...

Can I get some info here, please. I wonder if moving overseas negates the requirement of a passport mark once in the new country.

Hey Palm. Was wondering would it be a problem to fly direct to Asia once off the registry? Thx

No location service, no SIM card until I use the phone and several blockers, thank you

I just popped this question into Gemini and, after seeing the answer, I’m never letting my kids, or myself, out of the house on Halloween again! are there any reports of children being assaulted or people killed this last Halloween?

Normally I would agree, however, second you buy your phone and get a plan, your cell carrier has your information saved, and the FBI and other national agency’s already have your number and IP address. Is it legal, highly doubt it, do you pay a recovery and federal regulatory fee, yes. So you’re already being tracked. Also if you use maps, Google Maps, or anything allowing use your location, your sharing information where your going, where your leaving, and all places in between. As long as you have data analytics, and allow access to your location, your carrying a gps to find you.

While I'm not on fb, one would think that providing proof to fb of one not being on the reg, and providing a link to the page posting the incorrect info, it would be necessary for fb to remove that post. Who knows? they might even look at that person's entire page and delete the account. One can pray they would do that.

I think this goes beyond the SO registry. We have so many people without work or find work and are hired just to have the rug pulled on them after a background check. If we were able to get these people back to work, or people on the registry that literally want to work, would overall help the economy. Hundreds of thousands or people out of jail or prison just can't move on with there life or find work. If we gave TRUE equal opportunity and fair chances then we can actually help our population out.

To much tracking,

Any ideas on how to deal with mugshots page on facebook? This post shows up on google. The person running this page stay anonymous and I am scared of further posting if I message the posting directly. Yes, I am pre-2011 and yes, I have been removed. The have my old registry photo linked and it was posted April of 2025.

It's all so absurd. If the legislature today simply added misdo 288.2 offenses to Tier 1, (under the guise of "tough on crime," then we'd fit into the advantageous Trout/Castro scenario and have a path from Tier 3 to Tier 1. But -- obviously -- all those 288.2 misdo people living normal lives probably wouldn't want to take the hit for us. : ) I don't blame them. Still, I think it will be a big deal if p(17)'s are finally acknowledged. Another chipping away....

Oh man, it looks like the courts might need to force the CA Legislature or DOJ to re-classify based upon *current* Static99R scores. I'm sure your fiance's score has dropped significantly. Very expensive, I know, but maybe contact the Pacific Legal Foundation. Submit your case on their website and if they find it compelling and ridiculously unfair enough, (who wouldn't!) they'll take it up in court, free of charge.

@Jim - I understood what you are saying. I have not really looked into this case thoroughly since our situation is and always has been a bit different, and I am not sure if Castro/ Trout would help us. My fiancé's offense is a Tier 1 for both felony or misdemeanor. His offense, under SORNA is not registrable at all. Prior to the new law, he was never publicly listed. There were 4 categories for Megan's Law. 1. Full address 2. Zip code only 3. Not public if a person filed for an exemption (some criteria had to be met to be exempt from public disclosure) and 4. Our category, could not publicly be disclosed BY LAW. No need to file for an exemption. The only reason he is now public is due to the Static-99R score, which is the same now and before SB384. Under the old law, the score for his offense had no bearing but now all of a sudden, when NOTHING changed, he is bumped to Tier 3. Not sure if this case or another case could tackle this.

Utilize google, or yandex

Exactly correct. 17b and 1203.4 being granted means the state thinks I'm fine. Nothing to worry about. Heck, I even got my gun rights restored. And yet, here I am, stuck in Tier 3.

YES! So once again it's the guns congress refuses to do anything about, but continue to beat their drums about everyone on the registry being a "threat." People getting shot up left and right = sorry, nothing we can do about that. Compliance checks for PFR = Zomg.. we have to be vigilant with them!

Think about this for a moment. There's MORE outrage and backlash for Martha Stewart dressing up as a homeless person for Halloween than there is for some PFR getting shot, killed, or getting fired from their job.

Oh, haven't you heard? In America, the solution is always, more guns, more walls and more registries! /s

I have helped a few people arrive in SE Asia and integrate, obtain visas, apartments, orientate, half no passport identifier and half identifier in PP. 2 have picked up their new marked PP in SE Asia at the embassy, One was questioned by DHS agent in the embassy and sent on his way no problem. If you are serious about coming we can talk

Good news! The only incumbents running for Michigan Supreme Court seats won last night, meaning 1. the Michigan Supreme Court isn’t changing its composition and 2. Voters did not reject the Michigan Supreme Court’s historic decision to let nearly half of Michigan’s PFRs off the registry! While this wasn’t a major electoral issue, if justices were going to be punished for siding with PFRs in a major case, this would have been the time. Hopefully this helps convince other justices that they can do the right thing and not face reprisals at the polls. https://www.michiganpublic.org/politics-government/2026-11-04/michigan-supreme-court-results-2026

They won't want to spend resources in altering a law that would lead to their celebrated "cleansing" of "predators". In the silent minds of the anger-fueled majority, Locke "deserved" it; cheering on his grueling murder.

@ someone who cares: (please anyone correct me if I'm wrong) The hope is that P17 reductions will finally be recognized, and that's a big deal, but unfortunately the Trout Castro revolves around a very specific loophole. You want to fall into scenario #1. Scenario #1: You're convicted of a wobbler where both the felony and the misdemeanor versions carry a registration requirement under Penal Code 290. The potential good news: If the felony is reduced to a misdemeanor under PC 17(b), the argument is that the CA DOJ must re-evaluate the tier based on the misdemeanor's registration duration (e.g., dropping a Tier 3 lifetime requirement down to a Tier 1 10-year requirement). Because the individual remains on the registry, this does not violate PC 17(e), which forbids using a 17(b) reduction to completely escape a lifetime duty to register. Scenario #2, (where many of us are stuck): A person is convicted of a wobbler where the felony requires registration, but the misdemeanor version does not require registration at all. The surreal issue: For these individuals, trying to drop their tier or get off the registry via a 17(b) reduction is viewed by the state as an unauthorized "end-run" to completely escape the registry. Under the existing precedent of People v. Manzoor, the court ruled that since PC 17(e) explicitly states a misdemeanor reduction cannot relieve someone of their registration duties, they must remain on the registry—and because the tiering system has no misdemeanor path for that crime, they stay locked in at the felony tier. The absurdity is that -- in scenario #1, the gov't once felt that certain offenses were severe enough to trigger Tier 1 registration. Those lucky souls may be able to move back to Tier 1. And good for them! But those whose original misdo...

I said no problem, just dont fly direct from the USA

This seems very convoluted, like all these laws. Even if you original offense was a felony and later reduced, your felony before the new law did not require public disclosure, correct? Did you also receive a 1203.4 expungement? If so, is this something the Castro/ Trout case could help with? Maybe, someone can shed more light onto what exactly this case is trying to accomplish.

How about Cambodia, and Vietnam? With IML and still registered.

It was more of a rhetorical question meant to help the blind and ignorant see their foolishness, but then this election cycle was so far off the charts idiotic that perhaps we've passed a point of no return to common sense. We'll see after today. Could be the beginning of the end for this poor lost wayward land. Take notice people.

Dammit, my offense didn't require registration either, if originally a misdo. I missed that. I don't understand the rationale at all though. Back to hoping legislators will do something.

Just listened to it, it's about 20 minutes in. Think they said it Trout/Castro would only apply if the reduced offense also required registration. In his case, it was a wobbler but both the felony and the misdo required registration. The Manzoor (and my) case is that felony required registration but misdo didn't at all. That decision said the reduction didn't matter, still Tier 3. I'm not sure Trout/Castro is going to help 🙁

Thou shall not commit murder including registrants. Anyone who supports it has a damn full of loose screws, which could explain why society treats people like trash.

Yep. That's why I call Registry Supporters "Registry A**holes/Supporters/Terrorists (RASTs)". Plenty of anti-Registry people think we should play nice with the RASTs and treat them like humans. But RASTs are terrorists who understand only one thing. You can't appease terrorists. I'll clarify that I don't think everyone who supports the Registries is a RAST. There are plenty of people who support them just because they are uninformed, but otherwise decent people. RASTs are the zealots. The dumb, immoral, whatever. Today, there are exactly zero informed, intelligent, moral people who think the SEX Offense Registries should exist at all. If you find someone who does, you know they are deficit in one or more of those attributes.

Are you asking if I have a lot of empathy for myself? Yes, I do. But I don't feel sorry for myself. I think the Registries are 100% unjust and wrong and my family should not be suffering from them. But personally, I feel my life overall is better than I deserve. Better, more deserving people have suffered much, much worse than me. By magnitudes. I'm blessed and grateful. If you are asking something else, please clarify.

It's something with you. I'm on a VPN in another country and I can still open it. See the pic attached.

Yes...but do not fly direct from the USA. However have not been to Laos yet

Every time I try to open the link; https://c.mail.com/@652107421489046139/n79ZvNq0uPU9XmOwU3EcFQ it goes to about blank! any suggestions? thanks!

💯 Agree

💯 Brotha couldnt agree more. There are still many being exiled from society the state needs to realize the damage they are doing by stopping people from being able to survive or even exist in their own environment, this damage can not be repaired after years of the damage. The registry is a failed experiment as bad as the Hittler days. I too also come back here because i feel we are blessed to be free.. if that's what we want to call it. But many are still entrapped and walking this earth as a lost soul. This punitive barbaric style rehabilitation, so they call it? Seems more of a modern day witch hunt style punishment. LIFE on a registry is worst or as bad as a Death penalty conviction. JMO. Hope those that did not get relief from the MSC ruling get relief via the Fed curt case still pending. Keep your heads up things can change with numbers, That's another reason i belive they removed some to lower the noise of registrants and their families.

I’ll be posting this every week or so for the next several months. For those of us who are no longer PFR’s, especially in Michigan, I am reposting this information on how to have our names and information removed from the copycat registry sites. I hope you all are living excellently and have a fantastic future! https://c.mail.com/@652107421489046139/n79ZvNq0uPU9XmOwU3EcFQ

I don’t know If this has been put into question yet, but isn’t the legislative listing for requiring offenses be on the registry also overly broad, and vague. Such as when they state “listed offenses, that require registration on sora” isn’t that overly broad, and vague, and should be contested? I mean if it’s not broad, then it blurs and obscures, the severity levels of the tiers on the registry, besides the time of getting off the registry, it would make tier system and severity levels pointless?

These justice seekers are terrorizing the community also because an innocent person with no ties to a registrant could living in a home that a former home of a registrant or have a similar name. People who claim they know what a person who committed or will commit a sex offense based on their looks is probably a person who bobs for apples all year round.

Unfortunately, the individual will probably be revered.

Just another day in 'Merica but one that is attached to some calendar event...

4 people were killed and 15 injured in two separate shootings in Dallas, Texas on Halloween night. Where's the outrage and where are Texas politicians? Shootings are for crickets, while anything sexual outrages their moral compass.

Because they can rationalize the boogie man on Halloween easier than someone like themselves who may drink and then drive on Halloween.

And this is how we fight back!

@Confusion @TNT, I feel bad for the guys and girls, who still feel comfortable and paranoid I guess is a right word. In my case since my conviction was in 1992, and the fact I still live in the same town I was born and raised , and that I was or an related to most of the people in town or people know my family. I've never really gave it any thought, sure we have newbies that have moved in and find out through the grapevine, but someone always Sets the straight on the facts and what really happened. Plus I went to school with a few of the cops in school and they knew what happened and how I got set up. They are all retired know and a bunch of new young kids have taken their spots,but now that I'm off the registry I'm really not letting it both me. To confused, I really hope this feeling you have passes and you can move on and not worry about the little things in life. @TNT, I also hope you also will put this behind you and move on with your like and enjoy your family and new found freedom. Here's to all of us, that with time we will all put it behind us and enjoy our lives and family from here on out.

I feel weird about still being on the registry, however if someone hates me due to a crime I committed in 2011 it says more about them than me. We are all human and some of us make horrible choices, however that shouldn't impact our life moving forward. The registry makes it harder to have a place to call home, a meaningful job, unable to attend kids school activities, and society's judgement; which causes more problems than solutions. Sometimes I wish family members could use the batcrap out of the state for the harm caused by the public listing. As Will Allen would say, F the registry terrorists and he's right. Live your life as best as you can and keep the noise away from your front door.

I posted a link to this on every single local police department post about how they were doing compliance checks and keeping kids safe. NOT ONE RESPONSE. That tells me one thing. It made people think about an unpopular side of this.

@TnT…. I couldn’t agree with you more. I wrote something similar when this all occurred a couple months ago. It’s that whipped dog mentality that we have to learn to get past somehow. I still catch myself overthinking almost everything I do and how it relates to the way things were. It’s crazy though how much they took away from us in the most insane ways. Driving a family member’s vehicle shouldn’t be a big deal right? I did that recently and I had to keep telling myself that it was ok and I won’t get arrested for it. I think only time will help us heal but never completely. I would caution everybody to stay vigilant after these midterm elections because I expect them to come after us in some way legislatively. They can’t help themselves even though half the registry was wiped out and there hasn’t been a rash of rapes or child molestations by all those removed…To be honest the initial public backlash was pretty minimal except for a few grandstanding judges and DA’s. The fact that many of us are still here posting and contributing after removal is proof of what you’re talking about @TnT. This forum is a safe space and such a part of our lives as PFRs. Personally, I still find myself here more out of habit but I want to help & encourage anybody who needs it. There’s still over 20k people who still need to be fought for in Michigan. It’s definitely getting better day by day for me but some of the scars of this will never fade. Keep your head up and keep healing as best you can! Love y’all

Just Google the reasons children are harmed or killed on Halloween. None of them mention PFRs, only drunk driving, dark clothing, etc. So, why is it every year they want to focus on a non existing problem?

I am really really happy for everyone that has been removed. Unfortunately my conviction was from 2012 and will not be removed from he registry for another 10 years. As for PTSD, the idea that you will permanently suffer is not necessarily true. We are who we want to be. If being a victim is your mindset, then a victim you will be. I use meditation, therapy and reading to educate my mind and struggle towards peace. I find happy places in this world that bring me peace. Fly fishing is one of my joys. I am still a registrant but I choose to allow the ignorant to define who I am. I stubbornly refuse to allow the world to make me miserable. I do NOT need their approval, validation or their acceptance. I digress….

@James: I don’t see any reports of any strangers sexually assaulting a child on Halloween, but 24 people did die and 94 people were wounded (including a 5-year-old girl) in shootings on Halloween. It’s almost as if America’s lawmakers have no idea who is actually a risk. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/01/us/halloween-shootings-deaths.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

I agree 100% and I have been on the registry since 2002. Now I am off. I have heart failure, Cirrhosis and a list a mile long from complications and can’t help but think the government helped in my physical demise. Decades on the registry definitely ages you and often leave's you very sick from social isolation. I was due to come off the registry in 2027. They found a new way to administer the death penalty in a cruel way to many of us.

Stories like this prove that anyone that supports SOR is supporting terrorism. Not only against the registrant, but against their families too.

Many of us will suffer from this for the rest of our lives .....PTSD it is something they have in bedded in our minds that we must suffer with. The depression the anxiety the hypertension. The insomnia the paranoid the self isolation . Its all what they wanted to do to us punitive and unconstitutionally. Many of us will never function normal ever again. They should be held responsible for what they have done. Most of us will never be normal. The State and the government should be held accountable. My Family and i still feel unsafe and think they are plotting and think they are gonna come after us again some how some way. They Mind "F" ed us all in ways we can never be normal again.

People in my community did some very vile things to me online this year. We have our yearly HOA meeting soon and I am expecting those troublemakers to attempt to harm my family further through special HOA restrictions. Has anyone had any prior HOA controversies to deal with? What can I potentially expect, and what would help me prevail?

A US citizen is still an RSO, and with a mark of IML on the passport, level 1 only. Is Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia are accepting US citizens with this kind of history?

I have not been so tired and disgusted by the public registry as I am at this moment in time.

Now that Halloween has passed, does anyone know how many minors were sexually assaulted while standing on a porch collecting candy?

This morning, our ride share driver said he watched another driver take on a light pole and lose on Halloween night. Gathering PFRs and confining them for the night illegally prevented this how?

Should also sue social media. FB / Meta has deep pockets and we continue to see FB postings promoting and glorifying violence against PFRs. It's rampant on social media and no one cares. Even worse, FB is deepening the "kill them all" mindset that brainless humans with zero ability to think on their own buy into. This is how mobs form, with simpleton ideas and mantras and the group gets caught up in momentum becoming a single cell with no independent thought. January 6 is a good example.

Very well said and I agree.

English please.

You say "I have a lot of empathy for decent people who are being harmed." Thank you, but what about YOU.

"I am still trying to process this moment. I envisioned this day but never honestly thought it would happen. I thought I would break down and cry, I thought I would feel happy. I am happy and I am grateful but I’m also numb and feel like this isn’t real." That is a feeling well known by me. It is real though.
