Registries For Offenders.

I used to support the sex offender registry because I thought it did more good than harm. Now I don't know that if does ANY good at all.

And now some people want a registry for "animal" offenders who abuse animals. No, let's not open up a whole new can of nonsense with all of that.

 

It shows us who the known predators are in our communities. Some I actually know.. That was a surprise..
Didn't find any drag queens but did evangelicals...

 

On that note, no. They are not supposed to make those lists public. The only place they do that is in the US. In every other country that has a sex offender registry (and as I said, most don't) only the police have that list. The point being the offender knows the police have the list and are watching them. Privately watching them, but they know. And they are limited where they can live and what jobs they can have. Again the public doesn't know that. But if they tried to move some place they weren't allowed or get a job they weren't allowed, the public would never know. But the police would step in at that point and say, no.

I was reading recently the only reason why the public has access to that list is because when they were first passing those laws in the US the voters complained they wanted access. And first the Republicans passing those statutes said no. But then they said, well okay why not. But that's another bad idea, making the list public. And only the US does that. The courts really should have stepped in and stopped that part. But the courts were very conservative at the time in the US. So they allowed it.

 

My kids are grown now, but if they were little I would want to know if a child predator lived close to me / us / my kids. A man tried to get my grandson to come out of my sons yard and go with him some years back. My son caught him at it and was going to do him some major harm , but he ran away. These creeps are around and it's best to know where they are, IMO.

 

Not yet, But here's a link. Bill Clinton sexual assault and misconduct allegations - Wikipedia

 

Did you read it? The article goes into Clintons "relationships" with Kathleen Wiley, Paula Jones, and Juantia Broddrick, and the settlement he made with Jones.
Lots of facts to cloud your argument.

 

the problem with registries is they dont differentiate, for example if you piss in an alley you can get arrested for indecent exposure boom you are on a registry, if your 18 and have sex with a consenting 17 y/o and parents get angry,

its a double edged sword

 

Yeah, Clinton was a horndog.

 

Susan Webber Wright as lacking legal merit.[32]
Nothing ever came of this allegation.
He settled to end the harassment.

He settled for $800,000. Thats alot of money, considering Hillary said they were broke when they left the White House.
How do you know of Bills motivation to settle?

By the way...what does Clinton have to do with the current convicted sexual offender in the office of president?

This is in response to YOUR post (#2), "How about for abusive presidents?" Answer your own question.

 

Speaking to djt case
Terms like "found guilty" and "convicted" are reserved for criminal cases. This case, which centered on defamation, was a civil proceeding to decide the outcome of a lawsuit against Trump filed by Carroll. These cases do not determine guilt, but do determine "liability" for certain actions. Civil cases do not impose jail time or other criminal penalties, and as such require a different standard of proof:

 

I'm sure Slick Willy gave Jones $800,000 because he's a nice guy.

 

The Donald Trumps everyone. Everything is offensive about him. If any of us lower tier human beings did half the things he has pretty much got away with we would be bankrupt and probably in prison. He gets to be President? Insane guidelines as to who can hold that office or even run for it. ( and he is ticking the wrong boxes on a daily basis everytime he opens his gob) His track record in regards to women should have kept him out of the office to start with let alone all his other dodgy dealings.
This is the one who is going to make great again? It is becoming very similar to Hitlers early days making Germany great again - Hitler also had a pact with Stalin until it didnt suit him anymore - Trump is cosying up to Putin - the parallels are astounding. ( Musk is his Josef Goebels) Hitler made scapegoats to help ramp up his popularity - Trump is doing the same. Hitler had the backing of wealthy industrialists - Trump has Musk , Zuckerberg etc in his corner. - then add the proposed land grabs Greenland, Gaza and even Canada plus throw in Putins ambitions which are seemingly rubberstamped by DT. and co. History repeats itself. (Get him out before America falls like Rome or starts a global conflagration - his idea of peace making is a dark art.

 

Trump is an offence to everyone but some just dont know it yet.

 

your opinion is of no relevance in regard to legality, djt was not "convicted" in the legal criminal sense, he was and continues to be the ultimate teflon don.

don't misconstrue my statement as approval of his reprehensible behavior
