But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. -Declaration of Independence of the United States of America

Who Gets to Define the Crime? | The Regulatory Review
The registration laws are too arbitrary. A sentence is a sentence. There shouldn't be anything added to a sentence after the fact. Society doesn't need to track people and pedophiles are different that other sex offences and should be treated differently. Preventing where people can live, exposing them to harassment, and thus creating chaos for the man/woman that have served their time is harassment and should be stopped ! Using Juvenile records in adult court should also be banned...people with no money, nor decent representation, are being mishandled in the courts
Convicted of a sex assault in 2000 of my then fiancee. Accused me putting my finger in her vagina against her will. Was ordered I didnt have to register and put on probation. Doc said the judge errored because of the statue the case fell under. He ordered I register for 15 yrs. But somewhere long after I my probation ended the law changed to a lifetime registery for that crime. I just dont understand how i am grandfathered into a lifetime sentence. There is no paying your debit to society and moving on when it comes to a so. Now if your a child rapist or rapist of anyone I can understand the system needing to track you. But not all sex offenses are the same yet they are treated the same on the registery.
You are right, there are a great many people that were grandfathered in to the lifetime registration on a public registry that never existed when they were originally convicted. Challenging it in court would be expensive too.
There are almost a million people on the US registry and that number grows everyday.

ReplyDeleteAmen! Are you fighting a case now requiring GPS?
ReplyDeleteThere are no cases working their way through the courts in Wisconsin regarding GPS that I know of currently.
ReplyDeleteIs anyone representing SO's that are on probation from some of the implicit harassment that the registry and rules of probation bring on?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately if you are on supervision here in Wisconsin, the DOC still has all the control and power.

I've been told all it takes is the new DOC Secretary Carr to decide he doesn't want to follow it. We need to send letters and flood this issue
