*****!!!!!!

 

i really dont like big brother, but when your a pediofile lol well big brother should stick his nightstick up your *** like he did here. i think it is a good thing, not fool proof and cant prevent everyting, but i think that its a good start and i rather see this than a speed trap. i would like to see police in my area do this, in my home town out of 40k people or so i know for a fact there was about 30 or so convicted sex offenders... one lived down the st from me, 5 of which live on one st. which is about a block from a park i used to run a summer day camp at.... i give them an a for effort.

 

Highschool girls. I keep getting older they stay the same age.

 

There has to be a deterant factor in the way that convicted sex offenders are treated... be that restrictions, prohibitions, and conditions that prevent their participation in Halloween festivities or manditory custody over those times of public exposure. The catch and release program needs improvement. Multi tme offenders should be dyed or marked in some other clearly identifiable manner so we can all recognize them. Since incarceration doesn't cure them perhaps concentration camps...to keep them all in the same place. Wow while we are at it we could fly the swastika and march in public parades declaring how much safer we can make the world if we round up all the undesireables.
What we really need to do is learn from the mistakes of the past and avoid that slippery slope. The fact thatquite a few sexual offenders are repeat offenders needs to be addressed. Information is our greatest tool. Information is only valuable if it is shared. Keep the public informed and the offenders won't have anywhere to hide, skulk, and victimize vulnerableindividuals.

 

From the article:

It seems kinda dopey to me that on a night where children may knock on aperverts door we would want them home to answer it. It sounds kinda like a delivery service for the pedophile.

I would rather see a registered sex offender in a strip club or bar where everyone is of legal age and therefore he is not near any children begging for candy.

I guess the best analogy to this would be topass a lawthat an alcoholic has to go to a bar on St. Patricks day where drinks and fun are. Maybe pass a law that says thiefs are supposed to be given the keys to jewelery storeson christmas eveor that arsonists should be given matches and gasolineduring times of drought.

It really sounds like the law is back-asswards on this one.

 

In Puerto Rico, if you are disguised and walking out on the street (during Halloween), the police can require you to remove your mask, to see your face.

Although not necessarily to check your ID (as you're not required to carry ID on you at all times) since contitutionally you have the right to be protected from unnecessary search and seizures.

Personally I think the law is a good idea... just as we restrict easy access to narcotics to people that have had a history of substance abuse (and therefore, they are ineligible for certain pharmaceutical jobs amongst others)... it is a good idea to restrict easy access to children to people with a history of abusing children in that way. Specially given the anonymity afforded by the customary usage of masks on this holiday.

It is well known that people that wouldn't normally behave in a certain sense feel free to do things they normally wouldn't do when the action canot be associated with their identity.... Case in point, internet forums, Just look how many people become obnoxious I-Trolls when they believe their "real" identity is protected behind the mask of a "screen name"

How much more dangerous is it to have someone with a proven pattern of behaviour towards children having prolonged access to them, on that night, while at the same time having his "real" identity protected behind a "real" mask?

It is a very complicated issue, but my better judgement tells me to err on the side of caution on this one.

 

I've been interested to read all your views concerning paedophiles and the enactment of new laws, and the reduction in individual rights. I would suggest that paedophilia is a disease which has been shown to be incurable. Whilst we don't celebrate Halloween, I think ANY law protecting children, whether it be new legislation or stricter enforcement of existing legislation is a good thing. I don't see such legislation as infringing upon the rights of 'normal' people. The entire point of the exercise was, as I see it, an attempt by the Police to prevent crime, and be proactive, rather than wait for a crime to happen, and for this they should be commended. The problem with paedophilia is that the offender is like an addict who can't be cured, so any effort to reduce the temptation to offend would be in everyone's best interest.
The major problem is the paedophile's fear of being caught, which causes so many paedophiles to murder their victims (see Mark Dean Schwab, executed Stark, Florida, around 3 months ago) He had been convicted of a similar offence, and had served his time, but was not, to my knowledge, being effectively monitored.
Tracking anklets I see as a partially effective deterrent, provided they are monitored.
We have far too many incidences of child rape in my country, and I would see any proactive steps, be they legislative, or proactive by law enforcement, as a good move.
