A Reason to Doubt Registration Protects

 Cops as predators.

I always doubted the efficacy of SORNA - and now that I am in the system, I know my doubts are real. It is a placebo put in place by politicians wanting to look tough on crime, as protectors of children now that the populace has been whipped into fear, meant to let the public know where are the dangers to their children.

This database, managed by Bowling Green State University, tracks news reports of arrests of law enforcement. Of the hundreds of thousands of sworn officers in the United States, only a small fraction are ever charged with crimes. And not all arrests are reported in the news media. But from 2005 through 2022, Bowling Green identified about 17,700 state and local officers who were charged with crimes, including physical assault, drunken driving and drug offenses.

The Post found that 1 in 10 of those officers were charged with a crime involving child sexual abuse.

Whatever is the problem, registration is not the answer. Registration is hiding from the problem.
