Libertarian ping! To be added or removed from my ping list freepmail me or post a message here.Interesting post. Perhaps pedophiles just released from prison should have chip implants that can be traced by satellites. That way they can’t hide from authorities by using someone else’s address, as happened to this poor fellow in Florida.
If a sexual offender moves out and a new resident moves in, is the old address removed from the registry? I bet it’s not. If not, then eventually every address could be on the registry.......
I had somethinf similar happen to me several years ago. I had to hire a lawyer at my expense to clear up the county records so I would not lose my job.

The same thing happened here in Texas a few months ago. The REAL sex offender had moved and the new homeowner found his address listed.
Another guy had his name on the list because he was seen taking a leak from his fishing boat. A lady with her kids on the bank saw him, got the TX boat number and turned him in. He is still on the list.
In order to implement or upgrade the 911 system the town has renumbered street addresses and changed street names twice since we moved here.
Now it hasn't put me on the sex offender registry, really hasn't caused a problem other than with UPS and needing new address labels, but it has resulted in one curious consequence.
My neighbor, the crazy Quaker cat lady, has our old street address and we have her old street address.
Somehow, her name and my name got on the Hillary Clinton For President mailing list and combined. Now I receive all this campaign stuff from Hillary, addressed to my neighbor and me, delivered to my street address.
I presume, and I hope, that the crazy Quaker cat lady next door is wondering why she's receiving urgent requests from Wayne LaPierre asking that she send money quick to fight the gun grabbers.
It’s time to rethink the way those lists are constructed. There is too much sloppiness, and there are people on the sex offender sites who committed offenses like peeing in an alley or dating a girl a year younger than themselves in high school.
To government bureaucrats, every day is a holiday.
