With all of the examples you just gave, why would they also not want to know about people convicted of DUI's in Aunt Minnie's neighborhood, or the drug pusher, or the parent that has abused their children, or the young adult arrested and convicted of burglary, etc.
The original intent of Megan's Law, the Jacob Wetterling Act, etc. have been blown so far out of proportion and has now moved 180 degrees from it's original intent.
I cannot even begin to understand the 2500-foot proximity laws they are putting in place under the guise of the Jessica Lunsford Act. Unless, Jessica’s home was in front of a school bus stop, library, park, etc., which I cannot say it was since that has never been reported, had the 2500-foot law been in place it is probably the only one John Couey would not have been guilty of breaking. The same would apply to the man that murdered Sarah Lund.
I support everything that Orolan wrote in this thread. It is a common sense approach, not a feel good approach and would certainly be much more doable for the PO's and LE's. However, with that said I also feel it should apply to all felony convictions and not single out SO's alone...a repeat offender is a repeat offender regardless of the crime.
I hope I am alive long enough to see the mountain currently being built come tumbling down.
