<DIV>Wayne,</DIV> <DIV>How do you feel about some of the sexual offender measures the legislature is contemplating? I have heard that there are proposals to require satelite tracking, increasing registration requirements for violent offenders (quarterly for violent, yearly for the others), increasing the registration fee for "regular" offenders to $40 from $10 (keeping violent offenders at the $10 x 4 =$40) and keeping the indigency clause (that is, if offenders can show that they are indigent, the fee is waived), and possibly a bill to limit how close they can live to schools. There may be others I am not aware of also.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Personally, I think satelite tracking may be very expensive and it is my understanding that the court already can require it as a condition of release for violent offenders. Whether they do or not is another question. I agree with increasing the registration requirements but I think they should ALL (viol!
ent or
not) have to register quarterly and pay $25 each time. That would be enough to pay for the extra manpower to keep track of them, yet it would give more up to date information. I don't think there should be an indigency clause, period. Especially at the current rate of $10 a year, they can come up with that without the taxpayer having to foot the bill. I do think it is a good idea to limit the distance a CHILD sex offender lives to a school or park. Without the limit, it is like putting me in the middle of a buffet line and telling me I can't eat anything. It just isn't going to happen! That may be a bad analogy, but maybe you get my point. -Tom<BR><BR><B><I>Art Deco <deco@moscow.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2802" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> <DIV><FONT size=4>!
