Fabs,

Yes poorer neighborhoods have a higher percentage of RSO's than wealthly neighborhoods....especially areas with large rental communities.....these guys are transient and the neighborhood I fight for is comprised of usually first time home buyers who are young and just starting their families or young families renting. Its all in the numbers and you dont need to be a rocket scientist to figure why RSO's gravitate to affordable housing. But in the same vain its like throwing the prey in a cage with the predator..

Yes, limiting the amount of RSO's in any given area probably would be a federal mandate, but I dont see it happening from the top down...so I try and push buttons from the local level up. If a mayor of any given town just stepped up to the plate and said "No more" our town wont take on any more risk" then maybe the state would have to take a long look at the bigger picture..Interstate Compact Laws are a mess and need fine tuning. Over 250,000 parolees and probationers freely move from state to state..thats crap, why should I have more RSO's than Maryland? Because the beaches are better?I already have a "dry foot " policy ..here...do you know what that means? I have persecuted freedom seeking refugees that come in commit crimes and I cant deport them!

Lumping sex offenders? Yes it is dangerous and costly, but dont think the guys on our registries are a bunch of Romeo's, thats the term for being convicted for having concensual sex with an underage girl. The majority of RSO's have at the very least a conviction for Lewd and Lacivious with a child under 12..these are bad guys..and they are predatory. Their crimes not only put a burden on the victims and the families they impact another generation of children who will deal with the emotional issues of abuse...if they live to tell about it..

Death penalty..need not go there with me...The people of my state voted for it...and now there is a moritorium (spelling) on it..the people spoke..my legislators are not listening..and Jeb Bush will never get another vote from me..

No offense Fabs, but you can peddle that "better 10 guilty men go free, than one innocent die" crap on a previous generation. With forensics being what they are, the chances of frying an innocent guy are dwindling..just do me a favor...fry the ones we have convicted and found guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt"and most of us would be happy, but the system cant even seem to get that done..

Lawyers can stand on that "get the best deal for my client" at all cost syndrome all day long...at the end of the day..what may be best for your client can be detrimental to our children...and in my book there is no justification for that...or for the lawyer who did it..
