In reply to A REAL activist. But I can see how it could be interpreted differently. It isn't parole or probation. It is lifetime supervision. If the court, or the DOC, wanted him to be on parole or probation for a lengthy time, that is what he would have been given--but he wasn't. The court can extend a probation period beyond the normal, and the law allows for lifetime parole. Under Missouri law, lifetime parole is not the same thing as lifetime supervision.

Sorry but lifetime supervision is indeed considered parole/ probation. The law cited in the article regarding lifetime supervision states, “The court shall order that the offender be supervised by the division of probation and parole for the duration of his or her natural life.”

Missouri’s voter law says, you “Cannot be on probation or parole after conviction of a felony”.

Thus, a Registered Person on Lifetime Supervision can’t vote in MO if you’re on lifetime supervision. It would take a change to the voter law and/or lifetime supervision itself to change that rule.

The sex offender registry had collateral consequences which cleared a path to unfettered use of the database. I mean, if you can constitutionally enslave the citizenry to its maintenance, what else can you do? Which brings me here today to point out that SMARTMATIC, the database driven voting machine enterprise, has just had three top executives indicted for money laundering, racketeering, bribery and other felony charges involved LA County voting machines contacts ( over charging) and a international banks and foreign shell companies. You see Sandy, the sex offender was only the first to be exploited. Some there at NARSOL claimed my posts about those machines were irrelevant to NARSOLs mission, and the bulldog was wrong on that score. The registry was the cracking of the proverbial door. ” There is something else arbor here.” J. P. Stevens, Smith V Doe 2001.

If lifetime supervision due to the registry is a form of probation and probation is a form of punishment given the rules related to it, both according to the state of Misery thinking, then the registry is punishment and should be challenged on this ground (as well as others). No wonder the sign case is still ongoing with how they think there in Misery.

As usual, they make it up as they go along knit-picking, hemming and hawing making you jump through hoops to pass their over-zealous purity test

“Lifetime supervision is a form of probation.”

If that’s the hill they’re willing to die on then so is the registry!

Not surprising for Missouri. ACSOL is still fighting the stupid Halloween sign issue there, even though it’s been settled almost everywhere else.

Perhaps you might want to contact your state representative and senator as well as the governor’s office and the state attorney general.

Again Smith V Doe was a wrong decision. The court noted the registration system was not like probation or parole and they listed a couple of reasons why. Nevertheless, today the administrative branch recognizes ” lifetime supervision ” as intended to impose affirmative restraint upon voting rights contrary to Smith V Doe. Therefore their ( MO) decision could be substantive grounds to again (for the Nth time) to challenge the sex offender registration regime as punitive in effect.
