What should a registered sex offender do when running from a hurricane?
For anyone who ever wondered what registered sex offenders are supposed to do when a hurricane is headed toward them, the Attorney General of Louisiana has released this helpful notice for those in the path of Isaac:Under Louisiana law, you are required to notify law enforcement of any changes in residence, including any temporary situation that may cause an absence from your usual place of residence for more than seven days.
If you are traveling to another state, you should check-in with the law enforcement agency in that location to determine the reporting requirements in that state. If you decide you need to evacuate to a shelter, contact your local parish sheriff or Office of Emergency Preparedness and inform them that you are a registered sex offender/child predator who is seeking shelter as a result of Hurricane Isaac. They will advise you of the shelter to which you must report.
The easiest and quickest way to comply with these reporting requirements is to log onto the Internet-based law enforcement notification service provided by the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Association at www.offenderwatchexpress.com. If you are unable to access the Internet for any reason, you are required to directly notify the appropriate law enforcement agencies of the change in your geographic location.

Since many sex offenders cannot access the internet under their restrictions, not sure how they will become aware of this.

Having relatives who had to register in Nazi Germany, I find the practice Draconian. Plus, during a disaster, don't the police have better things to do than issue travel papers?

as far as i'm concerned the whole thing is illegal based on the USSC 2002 decision. Which makes anyone involved in running and enforcing it. LIABLE for execution for treason!

AnonymousOne (Aug 28, 2012 11:43:25 PM): Anyone who is Registered should know the special laws imposed upon them or at least know who to call to ask. But, a Registered Citizen (R.C.) really can't trust what anyone who works for the criminal governments tells him/her, so an R.C. really needs to be able to read the laws, court cases, etc., talk to attorneys, and basically do whatever is needed to understand how to keep the criminal governments from being able to attack them (e.g. by arresting them). In this war, an R.C. has to follow whatever BS "laws" are in place so that they don't allow a criminal government to be able to harm them. That is, don't allow them a "free shot" or easy offense.
steveoconnor (Aug 29, 2012 8:49:02 AM): The "instructions" didn't say anything about "travel papers". If there are any criminal governments who require people who are not probation/parole to get any papers or approval to travel out of their jurisdiction, then that government needs to be sued ASAP. That is BS that should not be allowed to exist.
But you are correct, their LE certainly should have better things to do than push papers and answer questions all the time. Especially when a hurricane is around. But who cares, they created their mess, make them do it. They want big government, make it big and push papers. They will eventually have to get the rest of the Registries created and then they will have plenty to do and will need to grow plenty larger. They will create a bunch of BS jobs, including in the private sector, and a lot of people will make a lot of money off of big government.
Speaking of which, is Offender Watch a public company? Seems like some of these companies might be a good investment if someone didn't mind owning some scum. I personally would never invest a dime with them or help them make any money. All the private companies that make profits off of the prison industry are scum.
I am a bit surprised that some criminal governments allow R.C.s to do some Registration activities online. They should all be forced to do that. Then, all their paper pusher LE employees can just sit back and do what they are best at - nothing. They can just let R.C.s directly update their databases for them. No government employees will ever really have to worry about it, just let the changes keep going into the database, and really do nothing. Then every once in a while, they can call the media and take them along to do some grandstanding of "verifying" where R.C.s have said they live. They would be "protecting children" nearly effortlessly.

I suppose once the offender winds up dead due to the hurricane or other disaster, the idiot legislature or local law enforcement will insist that he be posthumously sentenced to prison because he violated his registry requirements...
And, since he is unable to pay a fine, his family would likely be tracked down and required to pay...
I thought this would sound silly until I actually wrote it. The way things are developing, this doesn't seem so far fetched after all...

I take it you have missed the requirments in a number of states that now require you to carry either a drivers license or ID with "SEX OFFENDER" in 2 inch letters across the front.
even florida has jumped on board. but that did just put the statue number in small print along the bottom! Like NOBODY would know what it neant!

rodsmith (Aug 29, 2012 2:35:48 PM):
I have seen some articles about those types of requirements but I was thinking specifically of "travel papers" being something that had to be obtained for every trip (by giving full details about the trip, etc.) and that gave permission for the trip. I think I saw such a thing once on a web site for some criminal government in Alabama. The things that you mentioned are just about as unacceptable as "travel papers" are.
Of course I could find out about all these things but I just haven't really felt like putting much effort into it. When I read about those sorts of stupid things, it just makes me want to hurt people. So it is probably best if I don't read it. The governments that require such things certainly should be sued and they are nothing but criminal regimes supported by thieves and terrorists.
I am happy that I am harming people who support these laws. Just last week I won a $12,500 judgement against one of the scum. I actively search for situations where these scum will make poor legal decisions where I can sue them. I have had great luck with rental properties and people who will breach their leases because of a "sex offender" issue. It just takes a little bit of creatively and not even much work. It's not a nice thing to do but who's nice these days? The U.S. is an immoral cesspool. I said 10 years ago that if the Registries didn't exist, I wouldn't suddenly be a "danger" but as long as they exist, I guarantee problems and that the Registries will be worthless. At that time I actually never came close to imagining just how true that would be.
