The federal government, and states have made use of the technical procedures of the law to trap those who were arrested and charged with a sexually related crime in a form of legal purgatory.

They are not legally “Sex Offenders”, yet they are called “Sex Offenders”, they are not “convicted” of a sex crime. The new International Meagan’s law uses that language erroneously when it comes to differed adjudication registerers. There has been no adjudication, and there is no judgement. According to the law, there is no legal basis to require registration, and calling anyone who plea bargained for differed adjudication a sex offender on a list, or reporting them as such is a false charge, and defamation of character. Now they push their bad law out onto the world who does not even understand it. The world is led to believe that they are dealing with guilty criminals.

The US makes spurious use of the technical mechanisms of the law by making the law RASOs (Registered Accused Sex Offenders) were charged with have a non-expiring statute of limitations. Then these governments claim that since the statute of limitations does not expire on the crime RASOs were charged with, that they can do all of these things to them, label them, identify them, track them, require registration from them, defame them to others, limit them, and even punish them for non-compliance to these things.

There is no real legal basis for these requirements that is not spurious, but functionally they are applied as law because of vague assumptions about what you can do to someone eternally stuck in a legal procedural purgatory.

For awhile now my position has been that what we are doing is not working. We are like a pack of loud, raucous dogs who keep screaming, “it’s so unfair!” And so they make sure we stay in our fenced in areas and ignore us. We must begin a new way of thinking, involve ourselves with other, more powerful organizations who are concerned about justice, safe communities, etc. We are NOT going to win this by “fighting.” We are going to win this by aligning our views with the views of the many. We all want the same thing, but can’t seem to find a way to work together. Meanwhile the law, common sense, human nature and the morally right thing to do are ALL on our side. We need people in positions of power and who have clout to join us, but right now they are scared to death of us. This is due to our “fight, fight fight” attitude, our refusal to acknowledge a very real and logical fear that legitimately exists towards those who hurt children and our unwillingness to focus the major portion of our time and resources in the judicial arena as opposed to the legislative arena. If you have served your time, your probation is finished and all you’re left with is requirement to register along with all of the other stuff that is getting heaped upon you and you’re NOT fighting your case, then you will NEVER experience relief. Each and every one of us who have served their debt to society, MUST be actively involved in taking their case to court to be removed from the registry. If I can do it, you can do it. California RSOL is experiencing the level of success they are experiencing because they began focusing their time and resources in the Courts.

and while i’m at it… (i haven’t shared in awhile) the government is run the same way everything is run, including this organization: through personal agendas, personal belief systems, personal goals etc. If you don’t like it, go live somewhere else, if you don’t like the rsol is run, for example, start your own organization. There are very few truly “selfless” people in the world. Mother Theresa, maybe. Why are we so conditioned that being selfless is the end all be all goal? As president of a country or a group, it would be human nature for me to run the country or makes decisions as i see fit. If all i had to do was “listen to the people” what do you need me for? You would just need message takers. We aren’t wired that way. We are wired to be self motivated, self involved, self supporting, self sustaining independent thinkers. Selfish is not a bad word. We are all selfish, we have to be or we wouldn’t survive. My family is in a world of trouble if i am not selfish first, then provide for the family. I can’t provide if i don’t take care of my “self” first and that is the meaning of selfish. So stop this tired tirade against the government. They run it just like you’d run it, and if you have a better idea, run for office. We need you! We just gotta change the tired old way that we think about stuff. Hail deep thinking free thinkers of the world! Where have you all gone?? Turn off the TV and think!! (well that should start an interesting conversation). Peace out, God Bless you All! and i mean that.. 🙂

And doesn’t that sound so much better than: “hey, we’re a group of sex offenders and we don’t think it’s fair that you’re going to stamp our passports!” “If you do we’re gonna sue, cuz we have rights!” Uh, known child rapists who stalk and sexually harm children (what a “sex offender” is to the average citizen) as a lifestyle have rights? I thought it is generally believed and our history dictates that people who do things like that as well as others who commit the most heinous of crimes are relegated to only the rights as afforded to them with life in prison? See how different of a vibe and direction that kind of dialogue has? WE MUST START HAVING A DIFFERENT KIND OF CONVERSATION BY FOSTERING THE USE OF COMMON SENSE. Whining, crying and bitching is getting us no where. Sticking up for ourselves, agreeing with the masses of the dangers of an habitual child rapist who is free to roam our streets (something we are hesitant to do for some crazy unknown reason – and it’s keeping us from victory btw) and aligning ourselves with the “wanted” things of society that we all share will foster smart thinking and common sense. A lawsuit will do that too, amen for the lawsuit!

That’s a good way to get shot. I know we’ve been conditioned to believe that in order to change something one must fight hard against it. Sadly, the harder we fight against and yell and scream about this issue, it seems to only exacerbate the issue. We have to find things that we have in common: children safety, healthy families, strong communities etc. And stop focusing on the all the things we don’t want. We must begin creative, solution-oriented methods to get the change we want. This old way isn’t working. It’s kind of going on a date and all you hear is the other person talking about ugly they are. When in fact they aren’t ugly at all, but their constant talking of it is what really makes them ugly. Applied to our situation: we stop presenting ourselves as sex offenders who want change but instead present ourselves as Citizens who have served their sentence and want to take advantage of the Constitution, it’s a whole new conversation and a whole new “vibe”. It’s about creative marketing, intelligent dialogue and smart networkinig. But i’ve been saying this for years and everyone just wants to keep fighting, igniting that tired old “sex offender wronged” / “us vs. them” vibe that people have no stomach or time for and does not work. We are our own worst enemies by the way we present ourselves as individuals AND as an organization. Time to find ways to go downstream with the millions of people who share our goals and wishes. This new way of thinking has gotten me removed from the list in 2015, so i do practice what i preach. Finally, when you realize “the people” have had little to no voice in regards to ANY law for many years now, then you see it’s far from personal to sex offender laws. Lawmakers now consider it their job to create as many laws, good and bad, leaving the enforcement and legality of a law to be determined by the two other branches of government. Live the life you want. Be the person you want to be. Live the change you want and then it will manifest. We want to see it first, then believe it and it’s actually the other way around.

Alex, great! Pass it on!

I will be ordering a set of novelty passports today and having my family attach letters inside. I will also be bringing them to my mandatory sex offender recidicism group for them to send aswell.
Thanks for the great idea, we need to organize, we need to push back, we need to make the people understand we are who we are, we’ve done what we have done but now its time to move on. Chris smith can climb down off hia cross, use the wood to build a bridge and get over it.

I know you put a lot of thought into your act of defiance and I am sure it will at least show him that your are onto his non-sense. I just hope we can all work together in other acts of defiance.

I don’t feel divided at all by your suggestion, It’s just not my style. I hope we can work together on other forms of protest.

Can this website give us a private chat room so we can have more formal meetings among ourselves?
