YOU say Sex Offenders can't be rehabilitated ?? HOW about Spousal Abusers // Drug Addicts // Drunk Drivers // Drug Dealers // Street Thugs WHO IN fact as a HIGHER reoffending rate than Sex Offenders ??? Can you answer that one ?? Bet you can't . And the Sex Offenders List these days are so watered down that it has no meaning to it nomore as SO many people are being dumped on it for crazy crap that you do not know who is who anymore. You can get caught peeing in the alley and will be on it and or having sex when u are 18 and g/f is 17 and u r on it ? And this registry is costing the state of Md. Millions to run it for a FUZZY warm feeling to grab votes from thise who do not know the truth about this list.
AND did you all know that the sex offenders laws are only a test to the system ? Yes what they are doing is passing new laws and making them retroactive to effect all those convicted in the past to be effected by the new laws and that is in fact ILLEGAL under Federal Ex-Post-Facto Laws and also the State of Md Ex-Post-Facto Laws. And they are getting away with it and will soon enough pass other laws concerning other types of crimes and make them retroactive and can u even think of being convicted of a crime just say drunk driving like 10 years ago and having to be affected by new laws under the new laws after you have completed all your court ordered conditions... WELL be prepared it is COMING your way.

6:38 totally agree with you on that one!!! If we spent half as much time realizing that as we do locking people away for years for selling drugs...we'd be moving in a better direction. There is no cure for this disease.
