State of Ohio Establishes "Pre-Crime" Registry

I*Love*Green*Olives writes to tell us the Toledo Blade is reporting that State officials have rubber-stamped a "civil-registry" that would allow accused sex offenders to be tracked with the sex offender registry even if they have never been convicted of a crime. From the article: "A recently enacted law allows county prosecutors, the state attorney general, or, as a last resort, alleged victims to ask judges to civilly declare someone to be a sex offender even when there has been no criminal verdict or successful lawsuit. The rules spell out how the untried process would work. It would largely treat a person placed on the civil registry the same way a convicted sex offender is treated under Ohio's so-called Megan's Law."

Who is watching out for divorced men? by BrookHarty · 2006-09-03 14:08 · Score: 1, Flamebait

With women claiming rape and abuse in divorce cases which are civil cases, these men would now be marked as sex offenders. Even though 99% of the time its false, just to win custody and child support.

I cant wait for gay marriage, so they can experience divorce, those people just love to vote. Hell, lets have more legal imigrants in the US, they like to vote too, since it seems Americans cant seem to vote. Is the only to get America back is to give it away?!
