Registry Matters https://www.registrymatters.co/series/registry-matters/ Trying to navigate the complicated world of sex offender laws and how they affect a person forced to register? Each week Andy and Larry discuss life on the sex offender registry and how registry laws affect those on “the list.” Our goal is to help listeners navigate the complexity of the onerous “civil, regulatory schemes” that are clearly punitive in nature. We discuss current legal challenges to sex offender registries and answer questions from PFRs and listeners. Special guests share their insight and experiences. I would add a short "download on podcast for weekly broadcasts" but that seems redundant. And if you don't want to use names, we works.

Then, a Louisiana man spent 179 days in jail over charges that were ultimately dropped, exposing how registry and probation systems can inflict devastating errors with zero accountability. Finally, the Supreme Court has ruled that geofence warrants constitute Fourth Amendment searches, a landmark decision protecting cell phone location privacy from warrantless police tracking.

Show Notes

  • [10:59] 179 Days Jailed Over Dropped Charges — A Louisiana case exposes how registry and probation systems can trap people in prolonged incarceration without meaningful accountability or recourse.
  • [22:23] SCOTUS Limits Police Phone Tracking — The Supreme Court rules that geofence warrants are Fourth Amendment searches, establishing new protections for cell phone location privacy.

Show Notes

  • [02:14] Can You Request a New Parole Officer? — Filing complaints against your parole officer rarely works in your favor, particularly when you have an extensive criminal history working against you.
  • [12:29] Prosecuted for Trying to Stay Compliant — The Michigan Supreme Court ruled that convictions under the state’s unconstitutional registry law must be vacated retroactively, vindicating registrants who were punished for attempting to follow the rules.

We also hear the sobering story of a registered person who submitted 700 job applications without a single hire, and discuss a Nevada Supreme Court ruling that lifetime supervision can end without completing the full registration period.

Show Notes

  • [02:11] Can States Force You to Speak? — Missouri’s blanket travel notification requirement for all registrants may violate the First Amendment as unconstitutionally broad compelled speech lacking narrow tailoring.
  • [11:25] 700 Applications, Zero Jobs: A PFR Story — Registered persons in restrictive states face nearly impossible barriers to employment, housing, and relocation while surviving on minimal income.
  • [23:13] Can You End Lifetime Supervision Early? — The Nevada Supreme Court ruled that release from lifetime supervision does not require completing the full registration period first.
  • [38:02] When Cops Enforce Laws That Don’t Exist — New Mexico authorities unlawfully imposed stricter SORNA 2 registration requirements on a man who legally falls under the less burdensome SORNA 1.

We also dig into Michigan’s sweeping employment ban that would prohibit all 45,000 registrants from working in youth-serving businesses, and the constitutional challenges it faces.

  • [17:24] Why Courts Refuse to Call Registration Punishment — Colorado’s Supreme Court ruled the sexually violent predator designation is not punishment under the Eighth Amendment.

The Registry Matters Podcast’s mission is to cover issues surrounding the Registry. We cover cases that will peel back the veneer of what we need to do to change our lives for the better. We cover news articles that spark conversations about the total insanity of this modern day witch hunt. This podcast will call out bad policy and call out those that are making bad policy.

To change things for the positive, we need to act. We are 6-7-8-900k strong. With that many people, plus their friends and family, over a million people are affected by the registry. We should be able to secure donations to hire lawyers and lobbyists to move the agenda in our favor. We need our people to be represented.

]]> This week on Registry Matters: We examine a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that upheld the sexually violent predator designation as non-punitive under the Eighth Amendment, exploring why courts continue to refuse calling registration punishment. We also dig into Michigan’s sweeping employment ban that would prohibit all 45,000 registrants from working in youth-serving businesses, and the constitutional challenges it faces.

Show Notes

  • [02:00] Can 45,000 Registrants Be Banned at Once? — Michigan’s broad employment ban on all registrants from youth-serving businesses faces constitutional challenges and vagueness concerns.
  • [17:24] Why Courts Refuse to Call Registration Punishment — Colorado’s Supreme Court ruled the sexually violent predator designation is not punishment under the Eighth Amendment.
