Even bigcaldavis here, in his response, says The solution to sex offenders is NOT lifetime GPS tracking. The solution is a mandatory "one strike, you're out" law mandating life in prison without the possibility of parole for the very first child sex offense. blithely equating 'sex offender' with child sex offender.
I don't support the biometric tracking of ANY type of criminal because of the legal ramifications that could come from that on discrimination grounds.
Let's say tomorrow the neo-cons pass a federal law requiring VeriChip implants in all sex offenders (after all, a federal sex offender registry/database is now federal law). What would happen when the U.S. Supreme Court declares that, in a decision written by Ginsturd, to be unconstitutional? Or worse yet, what if Ginsturd also puts in her majority decision words like "If the federal government were to apply this mandate to all citizens, it would be constitutional"?
Just remember...Big Brother tracking technology is always pushed on the sheeple with some of these slogans :
"It's for your own good."
"It's for security."
"It's for the children."
Here is an example of how children are being conditioned to live in the Big Brother tracking/tracing surveillance state :
http://www.kidsafeid.com/ ("I LOVE MY KIDSAFE ID CUZ IT'S COOL")...this is how children are being conditioned to worship the police state...by presenting it as "cool".
When I say "sex offender", I'm talking about the child sex offenders who actually prey on children such as Jessica Lunsford, Jonbenet Ramsey, and Polly Klaas. Richard Davis got what he deserved. I pray that Couey gets what he rightfully deserves.
I do think that the legal definition of a "sex offense" is way too broad. I don't consider public urination to be a sex offense (but these days public urination is considered a sex offense because it almost always involves indecent exposure). I also don't consider an 18-year-old guy having sex with his 17-year-old girlfriend (or vice versa) to be a sex offense.
