This is BS. Anyone can be accused of a crime. There should be evidence to prove it before a conviction can be given. Where is the innocent until proven guilty?
The government starts taking away our liberty in areas that the public is in agreement of. Our freedom is slowly slipping away and everyone is in support of it. Take the time to look at the restrictions that sex offenders have to live with. Look at satalite based monitoring. In NC, the police can come in your home and do warrantless searches, all to protect the public. The truth is that most of the time, children are molested by people that families know. A mothers boyfriend or husband or a family friend, not strangers. The basis for most of these laws are very rare circumstances from cases that were in every way horrible but should they be enough to make everyone that is on the registry live this way? And by the way, do you know who all is included in this registry? It doesn't take much to get you there.
Main point: ANYONE CAN BE ACCUSED OF THESE CRIMES! All it takes is someone who believes one little lie and take the charge to court. There it is, your life is over. I think the public needs to be aware of the percentage of wrongful convictions. Jurors go into court and assume that the defendant "must be there for some reason" and the conviction is guaranteed.
JUST THINK, YOU COULD BE NEXT. DO YOU HAVE AN EX-GIRLFRIEND OR WIFE OF WHOM YOU DONT GET ALONG WITH TO WELL?
