This could be a stab in the dark, but is it possible that SO's didn't "think of this" before they committed their crimes because this was not the law before they committed their crime?! I don't think any SO's who offended before this goes into effect could have taken into consideration that they might be checked on once a month before deciding to offend when this program (or is it "pogrom", lol) didn't exist at the time! I guess the same could be said for those who are complaining about being on the registry who committed their crimes before the registry was in existence.

As far as anybody "crying" on this thread, somehow I don't picture RodSmith or Orolan dripping tears onto their keyboards as they post here. I know I'm not! I know I have been through too much in my life to be crying over something like this.

Val, you are entitled to your opinion about SO's being checked on. Why are SO wives lumped in? I didn't marry an SO, but I did find myself married to one several years later. Is it because I didn't get a divorce? That means I have it coming to me? Maybe they should come lock me up for FTD. They could make that a felony along with FTR.

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

Police step up efforts to keep tabs on sex offenders
http://www.willistonpioneer.com/articles/2006/02/10/news/news03.txt

By Mike Bowdoin
<blockquote><span class="mb-quote">
The Chiefland Police Department started its new sex offender program this week, promising to check the registered addresses of local sex offenders more frequently and keep the public better informed of their presence in the community.

Before fanning out in teams on Monday morning to pass out flyers at schools and day cares in the city, officers launched the program at a press conference at Chiefland City Hall that announced it as the beginning of a cooperative effort by Levy County's law enforcement agencies.

Levy County Sheriff Johnny Smith and police chiefs from Williston and Inglis joined Chiefland Police Chief Robert Douglas in announcing the program, in which officers will check the addresses of registered sex offenders at least once a month to make sure they are in compliance with the law. Current state law mandates only that a sex offender has to register their address with the sheriff's office when they move to a new residence.

Another law enforcement agency deciding to jump on the bandwagon of doing monthly "address verification" checks of sex offenders.   I would like to know where they are getting all this money from for this.  Are they getting some Homeland Security (Gestapo) grant?
