Supreme Court Strikes Down Sex Offender Social Media Ban

Lets ban them from working so they wont have money to lure a victim

I'd like to see no release period for habitual sexual offenders, but my sense of justice isn't very popular these days.

The distinction definitely needs to be made between incurable sex offenders and people who made 1 mistake that they'll never repeat after incarceration.

This is absolute genius. Let's just figure out which criminals will definitely reoffend and which ones will definitely not reoffend. Why the hell didn't anyone think of this before?

How about because in THIS day and age, use of the internet and often also social media is almost a requirement to negotiate one's work and daily life.

Also, sex offenders are not all child molesters. Many are people who were charged for crimes in one state which are not crimes in other states, and there are several other categories beyond simply rapists and child molesters.

Meanwhile, whatever happened to do the crime, do the time, paid your debt?

If you want REAL change, advocate for dangerous and repeat sex offenders to be sent to a prison psychiatric facility with no release unless validated by a full and unanimous panel of psychiatric practitioners.

Yep. Not all people on the list are a danger to society.

I'd like to know what the hell SCOTUS was thinking when they decided that, once a child predator was out of prison, he could go back to preying on children, using social media, which is the most common avenue these vermin have to children.

Look at it this way - If someone goes to prison for a violent crime, he can't own a gun until his rights are restored. Makes sense to me. Why not ban child molesters from the internet? A violent criminal typically uses a weapon to commit his crime. And, in the hands of a child molester, the internet is his weapon of choice, which he uses to bring a lifetime of grief to his victims. The vast majority of these deviants will never be cured of their perversion. In the name of God, why should we give that weapon back to him to use yet again. The raping of a child is an act of violence. If a child molester want to get the news, let him get it from his ****ing TV, which he can't use to stalk kids.

To put it bluntly, this case was wrongly decided. Period. End of discussion.

Most people try to hide their support for Stalin, but you just leave it right out in the open.

Liberals are already trying that by being unemployed and collecting welfare. It's not lowering their recidivism rate at all. Gotta try something else.

Quite True. I was thinking about voting for Trump at one time. :mrgreen:

Are you really this unimaginative? You've never heard of the system for classifying sexual offenders based on risk severity?

Are you really under the impression you're the first person ever to consider this notion of understanding recidivism?

We need a system on DP for determining Tard Risk. I'd say you're dangerously flirting with Level 4 right now.

Says the guy who's brilliant idea is "hey let's assess the likelihood of reoffense.

I have a news flash for you: they already do that.

Really? Tell me more.

Go back to the post I originally responded to. Exactly what new idea do you think you were presenting?

Consider allowing Level 1 offenders to use social media. Restrict social media use for higher level offenders.

Understand it? We have a for profit prison system with stocks traded on Wall Street and stables of lobbyists and lawyers crafting legislation to keep prisons full. We now have a system with a vested interest in higher rates of recidivism, higher rates of societal crime and violence, and in a post-industrial society where manufacturing will never come back, the system can now turn $40-50K per year per hominid. You type "recidivism" as if it's a bad thing. We were the planet's premier incarcerator before we had a for profit motive.
