Recycled Ohio State Senator introduces recycled Green "Sex Offender" Car Tag idea

The color green is all about recycling, but one thing that should never be recycled is a bad idea. Neither should bad politicians. Ohio Senator Tim Schaffer, a former state Senator recently appointed to fill an abandoned post, is recycling a braindead idea that was heavily ridiculed back in 2007-- silly green license plates for registered persons.

In 2007, the bill was SB 56 and it thankfully went nowhere. While this bill is limited to Tier 2s and 3s, Ohio is an AWA state so most registrants are Tier 2 and 3 in Ohio.

Below is a link to the bill text.

Because the state loves getting sued, Alabama passes mandatory chemical castration bill

Well, it only took Steve Hurst a dozen years but he finally got some kind of nonsensical castration bill on the books.

There's already a lawsuit in the works.

Alabama considers chemical castration for child molesters

An Alabama lawmaker has a plan to permanently and physically punish someone convicted of certain sex offenses against children.

The bill, known as HB 379, would make those sex offenders have to undergo chemical castration before they leave prison.

HB 379 was introduced by State Representative Steve Hurst, R-Calhoun County.

He said the bill will be for sex offenders over the age of 21 that committed sex offenses against children. "They have marked this child for life and the punishment should fit the crime," said Hurst.

This is not Hurst's first time introducing the bill.

"I had people call me in the past when I introduced it and said don't you think this is inhumane? I asked them what's more inhumane than when you take a little infant child, and you sexually molest that infant child when the child cannot defend themselves or get away, and they have to go through all the things they have to go through. If you want to talk about inhumane--that's inhumane," said Hurst.

Hurst is hoping this would make sex offenders think twice.

"If we do something of this nature it would deter something like this happening again in Alabama and maybe reduce the numbers," said Hurst.

Attorney Raymond Johnson says, "There going to challenge it under the 8th Amendment Constitution. There going to claim that it is cruel and unusual punishment  for someone who has served there time and for the rest of there life have to be castrated."

Johnson says child molestation is a serious offense and already has serious consequences such as time served in prison followed with probation or parole.

The bill is now on Governor Kay Ivey's desk for signature.

https://legiscan.com/AL/text/HB379/id/1987931

SYNOPSIS: Under existing law, certain criminal
9 offenses are classified as sex offenses. A
10 conviction for a sex offense against a person under
11 the age of 12 years is a sex offense involving a
12 child.

13 Under existing law, a person convicted of a
14 sex offense involving a child which constitutes a
15 Class A or B felony is not eligible for parole.
16 This bill would provide that a person
17 convicted of a sex offense involving a person under
18 the age of 13 years who is eligible for parole, as
19 a condition of parole, shall be required to undergo
20 chemical castration treatment in addition to any
21 other penalty or condition prescribed by law.
22 This bill would require the Department of
23 Public Health to administer any treatment given.
24 This bill would require the parolee to pay
25 for the cost of the treatment; provided, the bill
26 would prohibit a person from being denied parole
27 because of indigency.

1 This bill would also provide that if a
2 person is ordered to undergo chemical castration
3 treatment as a condition of parole and the person
4 refuses to undergo the treatment, his or her
5 refusal would constitute a violation of parole and
6 would result in the person being remanded to the
7 custody of the Department of Corrections.

FlorIDIOTS, rejoice! You're now safe from inflatable dolls thanks to the Florida Legislature's own inflatable doll, Lauren Book

FL State Sen Lauren Book
Okay, so FloriDUH isn't the only state pushing this knee-jerk legislation. It IS, however, the only state with a real life inflatable doll named State Senator Lauren Book to promote this idiotic law.

Surely there are lots of questions as to what constitutes a "child-like doll".

What if a person converts one of those large Barbie dolls or Disney Princess dolls sold in stores into a sex doll? Barbie's 60, and the ages of most of the Disney Princesses are 18 (a few are 16, Jasmine is 15, Snow White is only 14-- who knew?). At any rate, would that count? (Interesting side note, Barbie's original age was 17 but has grown since then and Ken was 2 years younger than her (making him 15), so if they met (and presumably had sex) at their original ages, could Barbie be a sex offender?

What about guys who just like their women, or in this case, their dolls, short? Or with small breasts?  Some guys like midgets. Remember the case of the man accused of possessing CP for having images of porn star Lupe Fuentes?

I've written at length about how vague CP laws currently are, and the CP laws are being used as the basis of these sex doll bans. How do you even determine age of the doll, anyways? You can't very well do a Tanner age test on a blowup doll. Do you go by manufacturing date? Do you go by the fictional date of the doll's back story?

I would suggest reading the comment sections at the following link:

Amendment to FloriDUH's HB 987 will make it impossible to stay in a hotel while visiting the land of Duh

If this bill passes and you are dragged to Florida to face a false allegation case like I have been, then forget about finding a hotel if this passes. The idiot responsible for this is State Rep David Santiago. Here's where you can contact this bald bastard.


CALL TO ACTION: Oppose HB 987: Public Lodging Establishments
Apr 17, 2019 | 0 comments

On April 10th, The Florida House of Representatives amended House Bill 987: Public Lodging Establishments, to require Persons required to register as sex offenders report to the Sheriff’s office where they will be staying, 48 hours before an intended stay at a Public Lodging Establishment, regardless of how long they will stay at the location!

In addition, operators of a Public Lodging Establishment who have a Person required to register as a sex offender staying at or within 1000 feet of their establishment, must notify all guests staying there.

Not only will this be impossible to comply with (you will need to report to the local Sheriff 48 hours before even arriving!), but burdens the travel rights of persons who have served their time and without any individualized assessment of their risk to the community.

It is IMPORTANT that you contact your legislator to tell them to OPPOSE this bill! NOW!

15 length of stay at the public lodging establishment. A property
16 owner or operator who has been notified that a sexual offender
17 is staying at their property or is staying within 1,000 feet of
18 their property must notify all other guests staying at the
19 property. The division may fine, suspend, or revoke the license
20 of any public lodging establishment owner when the rental is not
21 in compliance with the requirements of this section. Every

25 establishment along with a link to a website created by the

29 s. 943.0435, and state “Every sexual offender and sexual
30 predator intending to stay at a location in Florida is required
31 by Florida law to register in accordance with s. 509.245.”

Arkansas isn't waiting until Halloween to scare the public with an unnecessary Halloween Bill (SB 10)

Arkansas SB 10 is on the fast track to pass and the bill is completely idiotic. The bill prohibits Level 3 and 4 RCs from distributing candy or other items to minors as part of a Halloween-related event. The bill would also prohibit RCs from wearing a costume or mask at a Halloween-related event with minors.

The bill would not prevent offenders from giving a child candy if they're the child's parent or guardian, or from wearing a costume if they're a parent or guardian of all the children present.
