RM375: Why Courts Refuse to Call Registration Punishment

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.

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.
