Ploy to get rid of Megan's Law

Looks like this guy, the sex offender, not the article writer, is trying to do whatever it takes, delving into getting himself in a huge mess in the process, to prove to lawmakers his view that publicly viewed registries are more harmful than helpful. I wonder if there is any validity to what he is saying. I know that the registry has been used in some instances for identify theft and for sex offender bashing, but those instances don't seem to be widespread. Any sex offender dumb enough to "collect intimate data about children living in their neighborhoods, including photos, which he would place on the Internet in a database that other sex offenders could access" deserves whatever punishment lawmakers doled out. I can't imagine anyone being that stupid.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.

Trying to understand the purpose of this guys action. 
Perversion of law violates sensibilities

IN a gross perversion of Megan's Law, a sex offender who calls himself Sam has launched a vendetta against the nation's children.
In a weird challenge to the law that requires child molesters to register with law enforcement and establishes a database to keep track of them, Sam has used that self-same database to gain the names of other creeps like him.

And he is using that information, which is meant to help families protect children, to recruit sex offenders, so he can build his own database.

Only that database would prey on innocent children. Sam wants sex offenders to collect intimate data about children living in their neighborhoods, including photos, which he would place on the Internet in a database that other sex offenders could access.

Sam has sent e-mails to state legislators to explain the act of depravity as just one way he plans to challenge Megan's Law.

But it is not a protest, so much as a sick exploitation of innocent children and a harrowing threat to their safety.

The state Attorney General's Office and FBI both are on the search for Sam.

While merely posting information on a Web site is not a crime, according to several district attorneys who prosecute sex offenders, Sam may have violated state law by preparing a database to be accessed by sex offenders.

And if he's not breaking any existing law, Sam's damning lurch into insanity has violated our sensibilities. Moreover, if there is no law now on the books prosecuting this type of crime, one needs to be written forthwith.

Megan's Law is named after Megan Kanka, a 7-year-old who was raped and murdered in 1994 by a twice-convicted child molester who lived across the street. It lets each state decide how to notify neighborhoods when a sex offender moves in.

An expansion of that law in California will put the names of 55,000 high-risk sex offenders on the Web by January, so that those names will be available to millions of homes, schools and libraries statewide rather than just accessible by police stations.

It won't be a moment too soon.
