Looks like things are going to get tough for those of us that have the habit of going on the run trying to escape The Sex Crime Witch here in California. While a "victim" of Jessica's Law is on parole here in California they are not only forced into homelessness due to residential restrictions, they are also forced to wear a GPS Tracking Shackle locked onto their ankle. Alot of "victims" of Jessica's Law finding life virtually impossible while forced to live on the streets like an animal where their main concern is to where to charge up their GPS Tracking Shackle twice a day decide to cut off the GPS and go into hiding. Who can blame them? I know I've done it before. On October 12, 2013 Gov. Brown signed into law charging those who cut off this barbaric device will now be charged with a felony and given up to 3 years in prison. I swear The Sex Crime Witch Hunt just keeps getting worse and worse with no end in sight. Good time to leave the country if you're able.

Bill strengthens deterrent for sex offender absconders
SACRAMENTO – California Lawmakers today on overwhelmingly bipartisan votes in both the Assembly and Senate sent Gov. Brown legislation to ensure convicted sex offenders who cut off their ankle-mounted GPS monitors serve the full and maximum parole sentence.
SACRAMENTO – California Lawmakers today on overwhelmingly bipartisan votes in both the Assembly and Senate sent Gov. Brown legislation to ensure convicted sex offenders who cut off their ankle-mounted GPS monitors serve the full and maximum parole sentence.
The proposed law, Senate Bill 57, by Sen. Ted W. Lieu of Torrance, would help ensure paroled sex offenders remain under GPS supervision instead of cutting them off without fear of punishment.
“When sex offenders know that there are little or no repercussions for cutting off their GPS monitoring devices, it’s time to strengthen the deterrent,” Lieu said after morning and late evening votes in the Assembly and Senate, respectively.
“Real deterrents for sex offenders drastically reduce the likelihood they will commit another crime. SB 57 will give these sex offenders second thoughts about roaming free while on parole.”
Prior to the 2011 public safety realignment, sex offenders and other parolees who breached parole were returned to state prison for up to a year. However, realignment moved parole violators from state prison to county jails.
By changing where these parole violators are housed, an unintended consequence was created as it relates to GPS monitoring. Where previously these sex offenders would return to state prison, in some cases they now are being freed within days or even hours because of crowded county jails.
“By lowering the number of sex offenders who cut off their GPS device, we will lower the recidivism rate and less sex offenders will commit a new crime resulting in high prison time,” Lieu said.
As written, SB 57 would:
• Require a sex offender GPS absconder to be sentenced to 180 days and mandate that the sex offender serve the entire parole revocation in county jail.
• Allow county jails to keep track of GPS absconders separately from other parolees.
Following the time served on this new felony, this sex offender will be released again on parole as a sex offender and once again monitored by GPS.
SB 57 is supported by law enforcement and victims’ rights groups, including the Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs; the California District Attorneys Association; CA Narcotics Officers Association; the California Police Chiefs Association; the City of Los Angeles; the County of Los Angeles; Crime Victims United; Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office; the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department; the Los Angeles Police Protective League; the L.A. County Probation Officers Union; the Peace Officers Research Association; and the Riverside Sheriff’s Association.
