I whole heartedly agree. People don't realize that these draconian laws can be appied to them as well. They figure that they are safe because they are narrowly tailored to sex offenders. However, they don't realize that they have set precedent, which I don't think the courts fully realize either. They go through semantic gymnastics in order to justify these laws. Don't believe me about semantic gymnastics? Just read some of the archane language they use in drafting some of the bills. It takes an expert to understand what they just said. Even then, I don't think two experts would agree.

I just cant get over the crumbling of civil and human rights in this country.  Its amazing that Americans can idly sit back and not understand how these new laws have the vey real possibility to eventually being applied to them.  These things set precident if they are upheld by the courts.  People think that these things are good because they only apply to sex offenders.  what they dont realize is tht from a legal standpoint, once they are upheld for sex offenders then they can be leglly used against ANYONE the government wants to control.  Doctors, Lawyers, Computer and IT people, mechanics are all "groups" of people in which these very same laws could eventually be applied to.  Doesnt anyone get it?

Examine the mentality of this statement;

<blockquote><span class="mb-quote">But Sen. Kevin Coughlin, a Cuyahoga Falls Republican, said the license plate legislation is not intended to ostracize them in scarlet-letter fashion. It’s simply a way to make Ohioans more cautious by letting them know when some sex offenders are near, he said.</span></blockquote>

its not intended to ostracize them?  oh please, it does just that by its mere application.  people will see the plate and immediately become so paranoid and call the police at will.  pull into a business for a job, they lock the door before the RSO even gets out of the car.
get real senator.  you need to engage the brain there fella
