I disagree with this law, and always have. It is cruel and unusual punishment. It leads to the type of vigilantism that has been praised in this thread.

If the offender has served their time, they should be allowed to re-enter society. If they (plural) are not ready to re-enter society, laws need to be changed. Some offenders may need to be permanently removed from society.

This law has been used to put a scarlet letter on people who have committed minor offenses (pun). Really, folks who have done little things, like maybe having unwittingly downloaded child porn, or remarked about the weather to an undercover cop in a park bathroom, or pinched an ass, or peed in a public place? Should they be announced to all their neighbors as a sex criminal? Should we let real, dangerous sex criminals back into society? Should we allow folks like Conq to be moved to criminal actions like threatening someone with a deadly weapon? Is this not wrong?

I say, for true child rapists, not statutory rape, but an adult forcing them-self on a child, there needs to be a way to remove the person from society permanently. For lesser sex offenders, once time is served and appropriate treatment and counseling offered, they should report to probation authorities, but in no case should these notifications be made.

I think if I had to go tell all the neighbors I was a drunk, I might just become one again.

Either lock 'em up forever, or let 'em have a chance if you let 'em go. Half the dudes on the thing around here are gays who got caught blowing someone through a movie gloryhole, or some poor married fool who was on the other side.

Go after Pee Wee Herman, man, let's kick that pervert's ass!
