Title: Ohio "Pre-Crime" Registry Approved
Post by: TehBorken on Sep 04 06 06:38
Get ready to be guilty. All it takes now is an accusation, nothing more.

[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]The Toledo Blade is reporting that State officials have rubber-stamped a "civil-registry" that would allow accused sex offenders to be [a href="vny!://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060829/NEWS24/608290360/-1/NEWS"]tracked with the sex offender registry[/a] even if they have never been convicted of a crime.

From the article: "A recently enacted law allows county prosecutors, the state attorney general, or, as a last resort, alleged victims to ask judges to civilly declare someone to be a sex offender even when there has been no criminal verdict or successful lawsuit. The rules spell out how the untried process would work. It would largely treat a person placed on the civil registry the same way a convicted sex offender is treated under Ohio's so-called Megan's Law."[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]

It's Salem all over again. The peculiar (and very frightening) thing is that so many people actually support the idea.

Where can I turn myself in for having impure thoughts?
Maybe we can get purelife to keep a registry?
