I think the problem here has to do with "crime". The poll question asks simply if false accusers should be on some form of public registry. It doesn't ask if they should be charged with a felony criminal offense. So why the necessity for a trial and due process protections?
>>>
In my first post I wrote that such measures should be reserved for those who had been tried and convicted. This remains my belief even if the person in question is accused of child abuse, rape, or falsely accusing someone of rape. The state should not be able to compile lists of people and associate their names with crimes if the people have not, in fact, been convicted of a crime. Period.
If it happens with other crimes, it isn't an argument to do the same with those who have allegedly falsely accused someone of rape, but rather something OBVIOUSLY unjust that I'm surprised I haven't heard about it until now, given the community of posters here at sexcriminals.com. I'd like to hear more about these CPS abuse registries. In what way are they the same as the sex offender registries that most people seem to be refering to when they use the term? Are they in any way available to the public? Obviously this will vary from state to state, but just give me what you know first-hand so I can investigate further.

"One can not be forced to serve as both witness and defendant in a trial for one's life or liberty"
True. But we aren't talking about taking away anybody's life or liberty, are we?
>>>
Um. I sort of assumed that, were falsely accusing someone of rape to become a crime, there'd be an actual sentence for it, not just the registry. The registry is to warn off all the poor suckers the person runs into after they get out of jail and/ pay a huge fine (and let's not start that argument again - thanks).
