Also state and local authorities do have access to records of PAST criminal activity, but there is guarantee that the records are up to date (as not everyone leaves a forwarding address at the post office...)
Persons who have already served their prison term ARE ALREADY PUNISHED! What is the legal justification to continue punishing them and restricting their freedoms after they have already served the prison term handed down by the courts??? |
I know I'm late in response, I apologize.
I find it rather absurd that you would compare a group of former SEXUAL PREDATORS to those people who suffered persecution in Germany. The latter obviously never harmed anyone.
And how is having them register an affront to their civil rights? The registry only informs people of these former predators to protect their children and neighbors. Why are you against these people's right to know? Have you not check the reconviction rate? Granted, its 1 out of 5 who commit the same crime after conviction, but the rate in itself is not that informative because it only accounts for those who were actually arrested by police. Who knows what the 4 out of 5 are doing. Honestly, I think you're being naive.
