On this episode of Registry Matters, Oklahoma’s mandatory life‑without‑parole sentences for repeat serious sex offenses come under scrutiny as we look at how they strip judges of discretion and saddle taxpayers with massive long‑term costs, we then move to Wisconsin where lifetime GPS monitoring for certain registrants is facing a major Fourth Amendment challenge at the Seventh Circuit that could reshape how far post‑sentence surveillance can go, and we wrap up with the Eighth Circuit’s decision striking down Missouri’s Halloween sign requirement for registrants as unconstitutional compelled speech, highlighting why voters, citizens, and advocates need to push for evidence‑based, narrowly tailored policies that protect public safety without trampling constitutional rights.

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.
