Courtesy of the right-wing controlled Extreme Court.

...so judges tend to come from rich, right-wing families.

Pretty good chance this is a right-wing judge protecting their own.

Just kidding. It's not at all nice to know that.

Wide open spaces. Really tolerant policies regarding abuse of indigenous peoples and woman, and no registry marking me as a habitual abuser.

What don't you love about that?

Next up, no DNA evidence can be used in court. No compelled testimony. No testimony from anyone not present during an assault. No testimony that can't be corroborated by an independent third party. No contested testimony in a sex assault case.

Gotta love freedom (to crime away)!

Although they've probably got a list a mile long of ways to make criminals more comfortable with themselves. To hell with the potential victims.

Ahhhh, what does it matter. It's a stupid ruling in either case, U.S. or Canada.

How does the court know this guy won't do it again? Are they psychic, like Abbott is about rapists?

This is another blow to the safety and security of women as far as I'm concerned.

Did they cite statistical evidence, psychological opinion? I don't know how to predict the future, do you? I can't even forecast the direction of Intel stock next week.

That sex offenders don't quit after their first offense. In many, it is psychopathic and they are driven to seek out victims.

That is the basis registries were founded upon. Don't let people convicted of certain crimes blend back into society and stay under the radar of police.

Does it work? Does it burden people unnecessarily? Is it unfair? Is it any worse than the rescitevism rate for other crimes?

Topics for debate to be sure. But there is data to support it. I'm sure there is also data to dispute it.

And in the end it's politicians that warp it for their own uses.

do much for the public as we were unable to access information on those that were on the list.

Our legal system tend to protect it's own corrupt pedophiles...like a police officer in my home city named Curtis Borel.

He was caught screwing a 15 old...and received a slap on the wrist, left OUT of the sex offender registry (where anyone NOT a cop caught doing the same thing would have been added) a white-washing of his facebook page, and a new career as a real estate agent in Toronto a year later, no mention of his sex crimes anywhere.

ACAB, and that includes the judges.
