California and Texas are at two ends of the spectrum.

A couple years ago, a couple of California teens got suspicious about a fellow
hanging around their neighborhood.
The managed to track down the guy as a registered sex offender from Texas (who'd left
TX without notifying authorities). These two kids called the cops and the
guy was hauled away.

By contrast, I almost think there is a conspiracy in high places in California to protect
sex offenders. Local TV news here in Los Angeles showed that the local cops
were not only unhelpful with inquiries about registered sex offenders...
they were down-right surly, even on camera.

oops, I forgot the important part about the two California kids...
the managed to ID their local pervert...
via searching the registered sex offender site maintained on the Internet
by the state of Texas.
