RM178: Full Court Review in 7th Circuit

On the most exciting episode of Registry Matters, ever: We’re going to be discussing how the AWA defines a tier three registrant; Then we’re gonna come back to this case from the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals from Indiana; Then I have a funny point to add about the case from Montana that we talked about last week that’s on appeal in the Ninth Circuit. There’s a guy on the NARSOL website that is going crazy, insisting that that had nothing to do with homosexuality. But yet, I quoted from the judge who made the decision, who said that it had everything to do with that. So I find it find it very strange that you can look at direct quotations, and say that it had nothing to do with homosexual sex. That is so bizarre. But anyway, we’re gonna have some questions, including one we carried over from last week, and so we’re going to be busy.

RM177: Montana Judge Orders Removal of Person Convicted in Idaho

We’re doing a deep dive tonight about a case from Montana, that has to deal with a person who had a registration obligation in Idaho and he subsequently relocated to Montana. He has successfully challenged the constitutionality of the provision that requires that catchall provision. We’ve got some questions from people who are inside prisons. And we’ve got one question from person who’s outside prison and we’ve got some articles. And we are going to go back on episode 160, and talk about Indiana.

RM174: Convicted Without A Trial Is A Dangerous Road

We’ve got a discombobulated program tonight going in several directions. We’re going to be reviewing some letters from mostly behind the walls of prison. And we’ve got some articles. Hopefully we can go through all them. Then we have the George Floyd conviction and some observations and some old clips about criminal justice. The way elected officials were looking at it back in the 90s. And the way those elected officials are looking at today. We have an important Supreme Court ruling. Not necessarily on our issue, but in terms of explaining where the Supreme Court is, and where they’re likely to be for the foreseeable future in terms of criminal justice matters.

[4:43] Question from Mike regarding “trials”, but not in courtrooms – but in the public square

[9:20] Two part question: One about a “get off the registry” packet. Legit or not? And convincing Texas that the registry is punitive. Thus far, we haven’t been able to prove it

[15:40] This question is about the “catch-22” of not having programs in prison to better yourself. No programs, you can’t prove to the parole board that you’re improving yourself. And round and around you go.

[22:38] Question from New Jersey of excluding PFRs from criminal justice reform issues

[32:39] Attitudes on the violent crime bill of the 90s, in comparison to today

RM173: Louisiana Adopting A More Discreet Marking On Licenses

This week, we dive in to HB 56 going through Louisiana. It is an update to the recent unconstitutional ruling on their drivers license marking scheme. The Louisiana Supreme Court told them that they can’t do “that”. It was too much for their taste. The update is a significant improvement.

We also have a guest on to discuss real estate disclosure as it applies in Georgia. Your mileage may vary in your state. They are probably similar. We also have a couple letters from behind the walls of prison. We have SB 515 in Maryland which restricts a PFR from attending public school. And a couple other things to round it all out.

[2:14] John in Colorado says “DAs adore sex charges”

[5:47] James in Minnesota asks “Where is the Federal Registration law?”
