I'm Being Evicted !!! Forced Into Homelessness !!!

   Due to Jessica's Law's residential restrictions I was forced to rent a room at a small hotel one year ago after I was released from prison. In the county I live in, Jessica's Law makes 80%  of the county off limits to me. Pure insanity ! When I was released, I had enough money to rent a nice apartment and buy a decent car. The only place I could find is a seedy hotel. Paying 1,200 dollars a month rent for a single room I am now close to being out of money. I lived there for a year and made it up the best I could. Yesterday I was told by my parole that I have 90 days to find a new place to live. The city is building a small corner park less than 2,000 feet from my hotel and that means all the RSO's on parole have to move. I live in the bad part of town along a hotel row. All 4 of these motels will soon be off-limits to the 35+ RSO's that could not find anywhere else to live and forced to live in a hotel.We are all being evicted ! Jessica's Law has made 35+ RSO's homeless. My life was going good as expected, but now It's pretty much over. I will be living on the streets very soon where my only concern will be where in hell to charge up up the GPS Shackle locked onto my leg. My first priority each day will not be looking for food or shelter, but where to charge up. Here I thought it couldn't get worse living under Jessica's Law, but now I'm being driven to homelessness. Unfucking believable. What's next? Jessica's Law has made it that I can not find a job, I'm hated by my neighbors, can't go to any parks, I have a GPS Shackle locked onto my ankle, be humiliated and degraded almost daily, and now I'm being forced to live on the streets. I'm still rather shocked by all this. I have heard there is only one other hotel on the really bad side of town that is allowed to have RSO's as guests now. This is a county of well over a million people  and there are only 5 hotels that allow us in? Now it's only one? I'm pretty depressed about my eviction. Where the hell I'm I supposed to go? I have 2 years left on my parole and it looks like I have to spend 2 years on the streets. When I'm off parole I plan to move out this this horrid state. Chances are am going to wind up back in prison because of Jessica's Law.I heard that living on the streets and trying to comply with Jessica's Law is impossible. I do have 3 options - cut this horrible GPS Tracking Device off my leg and go underground again, go back to prison, or try and make it on the streets for 2 years. Great choices. I've been fighting The Sex Crime Witch Hunt for over 25 years now and it just keeps getting worse and worse. Fuck you Jessica's Law and all your buddies who make a profit off our misery and the misery of our families. Check out these articles on Jessica's Law and forced homelessness:

Out-of-State RSO's Moving to CA

No California Dreamin' For Out-Of-State Sex Offenders

New law allows Department of Justice to review cases to determine whether an out-of-state sex offender moving to California has to register as a sex offender.

Bipartisan legislation dealing with out-of-state sex offenders was signed into law Thursday morning by Gov. Jerry Brown.
The legislation, authored by Assemblyman Paul Cook (R-Yucca Valley) and State Sen. Ellen Corbett (D-San Leandro), allows the Department of Justice to review cases to determine whether an out-of-state sex offender moving to California has to register as a sex offender, Cook said.
Currently, a person required to register as a sex offender in another state might not be required to register in California if the laws of the home state do not mirror those in California, according to Cook and his staff.
Until 2010, the California Department of Justice reviewed and interpreted the laws of other states in cases where the conviction did not mirror California sex offender statutes, according to Cook.
But a court decision that year barred the Department of Justice from performing this function.
"When the courts barred the Department of Justice from reviewing these sex offender cases, they created a virtual safe haven for sexual predators," Cook said in a prepared statement. "With the passage of this bill, California can review these out-of-state cases, which will result in one more barrier to preventing these criminals from evading law enforcement.
"I started working on this issue as soon as I heard about the court decision in the summer of 2010," Cook continued. "It took a long time to get through the Legislature, but I'm happy that we did it in a bipartisan way, and that the Governor realized the importance of the bill. This law will ensure that dangerous sex offenders moving to the Inland Empire and other parts of our state can't use a technicality to avoid registration."

Difference Between Jessica's Law and Megan's Law

What is the difference between “Meghan’s Law” and “Jessica’s Law”?

 

Megan's Law
Megan's Law allows the state to post your picture and address on the Department of Justice website if you have been convicted of certain sex offenses. The date of conviction does not matter. In certain cases, it is possible to have your name, address, and picture taken off the website. For instance, if your conviction is for a misdemeanor violation of Penal Code sections 647.6 (annoying or molesting a child under 18 years of age) or 243.4 (sexual battery) you simply have to send the DOJ a petition for exclusion. This petition can be found on the DOJ website (www.meganslaw.ca.gov)
If you are on the DOJ website for any other offense, you can only be excluded if ALL of the following conditions apply:
1. You are currently are on probation or have successfully completed probation. If you went to state prison you are NOT eligible for exclusion. ALSO,
2. The victim must have been a family member. This is defined as son/daughter, step son/daughter, mother, father, sister, brother, grandchild, or grandparent. "Family member" does not include nephews or nieces. FINALLY,
3. The crime must not have involved oral copulation or any type of penetration. It is the burden of the petitioner to prove this by the police report, probation report, Doctor's report evaluating the offender, or other like official document
Jessica's Law (Proposition 83)
Jessica's Law is a very complex and multifaceted initiative that passed into law on November 7, 2006, and it will be several years before most of the provisions have been interpreted by the courts. The legislature may also make changes and amendments in the meantime. However, at this point it appears that the 2,000 foot prohibition (preventing all 290 registrants from living within 2,000 feet of a school or park) does NOT apply to anyone whose conviction pre-dates the passage of the bill. Be aware that Attorney General Jerry Brown has maintained that the measure applies to persons who were released before November 7, 2006, "if they changed their residence after November 7, 2006." To date, no court has ruled on this issue.
If you are on Parole, the Parole Board may require you to comply with the provisions of "Jessica's Law," even if the offense for which you are currently on parole is not a sex offense, or your offense pre-dates the passage of Jessica's Law. The Parole Board can impose greater restrictions on you so long as it is reasonably related to your offense or record, and it is unlikely that you will be able to successfully challenge the conditions of parole. It is a different issue, however, once you are off parole. At that point, your ability to challenge such limitations improves
The law regarding GPS monitoring remains largely unclear. However, it does seem clear that any person who is on parole for a registerable sex offense can be required to be hooked up to a GPS for the duration of parole. It is not clear whether it is a lifetime requirement if the crime or conviction predates the passage of the law. It is also unclear if a person on parole for a non-registerable offense, but who is required to register as a sex offender, can be placed on the GPS under this law.

Do We Really Need Megan's Law ?

SANDY HINGSTON

Do We Really Need Megan’s Law? Maybe not, but what legislator would vote against a dead child? Posted on 10/3/2011 at 9:00AM

The Inquirer reported yesterday that a recent Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling on an Allegheny County law is causing local municipalities to revise their Megan’s Laws. The sections of the law in question placed restrictions on where sex offenders could live, creating, the court said, “localized penal colonies” that increased the chances of recidivism by isolating offenders from jobs and support. Statutes in Doylestown and Hilltown townships and Hatboro Borough have already been rescinded, and Abington, Newtown and Lower Pottsgrove, the Inquirer reports, are among localities considering following suit.

Megan, you’ll recall, was seven-year-old Megan Kanka of Hamilton Township, New Jersey, who was raped and murdered by a sex-offender neighbor after he promised to show her a puppy. It was a cowardly, heinous crime, no doubt about it. And the flurry of laws enacted to “honor Megan’s memory” and prevent another such crime was well-meaning. Megan’s parents argued that had they known the neighbor was a sex offender, they would have kept a closer eye on their daughter.

It happens all the time—a terrible crime, a public outcry, and a hasty legislative attempt to prevent any similar crimes from taking place ever again. After Casey Anthony was acquitted in the death of her daughter Caylee, the cry went out to pass “Caylee’s Law,” a federal statute that would charge parents with a felony if they didn’t report a missing child within 24 hours or a child’s death within one hour. There are pushes and petitions for all sorts of laws based on a single, tragic instance: “Jessica’s Law,” “The Adam Walsh Act,” “Kyleigh’s Law,” “Tyler’s Law,” “Judy and Nikki’s Law.” We’re so outraged by the actions of one offender that we determine to punish all persons, down through the ages, who behave like that offender. They’re laws born of knee-jerk reactions, of the heart, not the head. They’re rarely effectual and rarely even used. But they satisfy our deep, primal urge for punishment and revenge.

More than a dozen years ago, the Los Angeles Times ran a terrific piece by Mark Fritz called “The Politics of Parental Grieving.” It’s more than worth a read. One statistic Fritz cited back in 1999 is especially telling: The American Bar Association reported that “40 percent of the federal criminal laws passed since the Civil War had come in just the last three decades, often ‘in patchwork response to newsworthy events’ rather than an ‘identifiable federal need.’”

Why do lawmakers pass them? Because they’re popular even when they’re irrational. Who could dare vote against a law named for a dead little girl? Fritz quotes a lobbyist who says, “Any time real emotion based on human tragedy enters the public policy arena, it becomes more difficult to enact policy that recognizes the limitations of the world we live in.” These laws named after dead kids are, as Fritz writes, the result of “a tragic tale, a family calamity transformed into arresting allegory, a freak occurrence offered up as a terrifying trend.” In fact, as the Inquirer points out, “stranger danger” crimes are exceedingly rare; 93 percent of all child victims know their assailants. What such laws do is create a false sense of security for parents; we know they’re in place, so we become less vigilant, not more. How many of us have ever actually gone to the trouble of checking the state registry for registered sex offenders in our neighborhoods?

I don’t begrudge any parents who have lost a child the right to set out on whatever crusades they feel the need to embark on. It’s impossible for me to say how I’d react if tragedy took one of my kids. But at the very least, by now we should have wised up enough to look with extra caution on laws that spring up out of the cauldron of parental grief, to make sure they meet rational needs and not just irrational ones.

CA Transfers Thousands to Co.

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — A controversial plan to transfer tens of thousands of inmates from state prisons to county jails starts this weekend.
Officials say many of the inmates are headed to Southland jails.

Non-violent offenders– those convicted of thefts, burglaries, and drug sales– will now serve time in county jails instead of prison.

The transfer of 26,000 non-violent offenders is part of Gov. Jerry Brown’s plan to save the state money by reducing the prison population.
LA County Sheriff Lee Baca says local jails are not equipped to handle the additional inmates.
