This is why registered sex offender laws are cruel and unusual.

I don't think they are cruel for a person that has gone around diddling little children, but that fact that the definition is so broad. People automatically think of the worst when you hear sex offender. But it could be as simple as a 18 yr old sleeping with a 17 yr old. I think that sex offender should be more defined & categorised.

I did an interview with a judge once and she said the worst part of her job was labeling an 18 year old who had slept with a 16 year old as a sex offender.
They had dated for two years and they broke up. She retailiated by turning him in.

I have no sympathy for rapists, child molesters and the like.

I don't like the fact, though, that less severe sex offenders (like stat. rapists) are grouped in with them.

There should be two types of Sexual Offender. Heinous Sexual Offender and Petty Sexual Offender.

Okay..this is where you have to ignore the fact and just say 'Miami...really, are you aiding homeless population increasing in your city?"

Forced to live under a bridge like common trolls...

A friends, friend of mine got labled a sex offender after he picked up women at a bar who just happened to sneak in with a fake ID. The parents of this 16 yr old found out. Had my friends, friend arrested, & even though he was in a bar that was only supposed to have peope over 21 in it was found guilty. Now he will be a sex offender for life because a bar door man cant spot a fake ID.

"The state is forcing you to live like an animal."

Yep, because you exposed yourself to a teenaged girl.

That sort of moral absolutism is dangerous at best and deadly at worst.

Please remember that not all rapists are serial rapists that eat babies and kill 80 year old grannies. The majority of sexual offenders are 1 time offenders. While I'm certainly not condoning sexual offenses of ANY kind what I can also not condone is punishing a person after their sentence has been served.

If a person intends to commit other sexual crimes he can walk 2,500 feet to do it. So if a person shouldn't be allowed to live completely free in society then they should still be in jail.

There's no reason to partially release someone. Either they are a danger or they are not.

No offense Walrus, but you really don't seem to think of sexual assault as anything serious. You once compared a rapist (or the like) serving a sentence as someone commiting robbery serving a sentence, your reasoning being that said robber does not have to wear a t-shirt saying that they are one. Money and things can be replaced, but how do you replace lost self-respect, dignity and innocence? To be quite honest, I was rather insulted that you compared the two. Just out of curiosity, are you married? Or do you have a child?

isn't that some form of moral absolutism as well?

I do have a child. And I think that rape and sexual assault are horrible and tragic but speaking totally practically it makes absolutely no sense to release someone from prison with rules and restrictions that keep them from living a normal and productive life. If they are so dangerous that they cannot be fully free then they do not need to be released.

MURDERERS that KILL people in COLD blood get to live beside of me without telling me or registering they get to work and live around schools and daycares BUT a person who was a rapist doesn't?

How does that compare?

Also keep in mind that the registered sex offenders list does not just include the most harded and evil serial child rapist pedophiles. Some may be... But some may have been falsely accused some may have commited a minor sexual offense like public indecency or statutory rape (with consent). You cannot lump all sexual offenses together and THEN punish them with prison time and punish them the rest of your life.

No. It's being practical. It isn't reasonable or rational to let someone out of jail when they are still a danger to society in some way.

what a b**ch move...

Women are cruel

 

[Addendum]

"Waah! I exposed myself to a child now I have to live under the turnpike because I'm a registered sex offender. Waah!"

F*** them.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

I'm inclined to agree with Majic. Forcing a woman to live in a shanty community of male sex offenders is pretty ****ed.

 

[BlackLantern]

Majic makes a great point....how do I know my neighbor didn't axe murder his last wife??

Really? You have a child then? Well I find it kind of interesting that you see how innocent and fragile children are first-hand, but see something wrong with alerting other parents of a pedophile.

I didn't say that everyone on the list was a hardened criminal. What I was saying was talking about hardened criminals though.

And I personally don't agree that people who kill in cold blood should walk, so I guess that point doesn't actually mean anything to me.

And I've noticed that you've swapped burglars for murderers in your analogy. What does that have to do with your comparison of rape to burglary.

And anyway, don't you think things like rape can kill the person on the inside if not on the outside? Why do some seem to think that because you leave someone alive physically that it is automatically better than killing them? That is not always true at all. Psychological pain can be worse than physical pain.

 

[BlackLantern]

Majics point is that the current system is broken....Murderers aren't legally obligated to tell people in a neighborhood that they are moving in to that they are a murderer....some states require sex offenders to do that....is one worse than the other?? I don't think so

Like I said, I would not be against one for murders as well. I am just against his saying that we should not have a registry for sex offenders.
