I wanted to enlighten the public that you do not have to rape or molest or even expose yourself to another person to be placed on the sex registry. innocent people can and do get entrapped in the legal process. I myself was raped by the legal system. I am tired of fighting it and by the time you read this i will be dead.

The only sex offenders that should be on the database are the ones who have committed sexual assault or attempted to. The registry is jammed up with sex offenders who have never raped anyone! Plus, the recidivism rate for sex offenders is very low, despite what some career-minded politicians will state.
People who commit crimes like sunbathing nude or downloading a few nude teen images on the Net should never be subject to the same conditions a real sex predator who violently assaults a child would. It is a big civil rights violation and sex offender laws need to make sense again.
