Maine to Launch Internet Sex-Offender Registry
scubacuda writes "On Monday, Maine Today reports that officials plan to put info about the states 1,200 registered sex offenders on the Internet to allow residents to easily determine if a convicted offender lives in their neighborhood. Some jurisdictions - including Portland, South Portland, Saco and Kennebec County - already post sex-offender information on the Internet. But the new site will cover *all* sex offenders registered in Maine, and will include their names, ages and birth dates, where they live, where they work or attend school, and which offense they were convicted of. Photographs will soon be posted, as well."
Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
OK. This one's not even close to being a legit YRO article. Putting a sex offender registry online is not a question of your rights online actually quite the opposite. It'd be a YRO article if someone tried to stop this.
In Soviet Russia sex-offenders register YOU.
...that domain. I'd hate to have it end up pointing at some russian porno.
Is the water getting hot in here or is it just me?
Please look up the original poster here or on K5.
With an undemocratic president fighting his fathers war, erosion of human rights ini the name of fighting fear and letting 'the people' deal with taboo'd crimes, the US begins to resemble germany some 70 years back.
At risk of feeding the trolls out of my curiosity: what the fuck are you talking about? Are you stoned again or is this your normal state of mind?

Yeah, that was bloody stupid. The list of these 100 'sex offenders' is still available by searching Google. Quite interesting is an interview with one of the guys who was mistaken for a paedophile.
