Court Rules Homeless Sex Offenders Don't Have to Register... Wait? Seriously?

A Michigan Court of Appeals rules that homeless sex offenders do not have to register with the state. After this ruling was made the percent of sex offenders rose to a huge 62%... hmm, coincidence? I think not. Now I understand that if you are homeless you cannot report an address however, there really isn't any reason why these dangerous criminals cannot report to the local police station verifying that they are staying in town at local shelters or even in their car in a park. Let's just say that I don't really care how they do it all I really care is that they are somewhat monitored. Not to mention that a lot of these people are likely claiming they are homeless so they can escape police monitoring. I don't feel bad for the critics that say we are infringing on their rights by forcing them to report. Guess what? They infringed on another person's rights when they sexually assaulted them. I guess what I am getting at is they need to suck it up. Then again I just don't have sympathy for people who feel like they deserve rights that they denied to others. I'm a strong supporter of an eye for an eye.

    I am absolutely agreeing with you that they infringed on another person’s rights so why should they be so particular on their own rights. I can’t accept the idea of these “homeless” sex offenders being able to run around unannounced to all of those surrounding them. Tell that to a mother and she will give you her thoughts on that and I’m sure those sex offenders won’t get a warm touchy feeling.

    I totally agree they should have to do some type of monitoring like the ones on parole. No matter their situation. If you don't have an address then you should have to check in or have some sort of communication so they can call and or use GPS to locate that person... Maybe tether..??? who knows but something. Just like on the east side of Jackson a couple weeks ago a man was trying to get this little girl in his house with bribbs of candy and toys and he was a sex offender. How scary I mean come on ... So true.
