The Registry Matters Podcast covers an important topic as to of the origin of “Frightening and High”. The SCOTUS decision of Smith v Doe is cited as such. However, that’s not where it originated. They guys also talk about restoration of voter rights to registrants, people dying in prison due to the high temperatures and judges not forcing people to register after conviction. They also tackle a Patreon supporters question of what can you do if you can’t vote.

And this week we’d like to thank our newest patrons: Larry, Patty and Hank. Many thanks, and I’ll send you blue balls next week.

Today’s episode has Larry and Andy joined by Rory Fleming. He is an advocate for registry reform and the criminal justice reform movement in general. It was great to have him on.

6:10 – Then we moved on to discussing the work that Rory does, and his philosophy of criminal justice reform.

59:56 – We answered a patreon supporters question about how he is supposed to stay compliant as an over the road truck driver where one state has registration after 48 hours, whereas another might be 7 or 10 days. Depending on the state you were registered in to start, you might have notification obligations when you leave the state for X number of days.

On this episode of the Registry Matters Podcast, we have King Alexander joining us. Mr. Alexander is a Supervising Attorney and Life Without Parole Attorney at the Calcasieu Public Defenders Office in Louisiana.

The podcast has discussions about how being homeless turns into a revolving door into the criminal justice system, simply by being homeless. An article from the New York Times makes the case that criminal justice reforms are making progress in increasing public safety. Shocking new evidence (not really) that the policies against registrants making recidivism rates go up. In the #MeToo movement, men are victims too, and they don’t report the abuse. And lastly, a very long detailed discussion about Essential Elements. The who, what, where about it. Call it the essentials about essential elements. I hope you’ll listen, and share it with those around you.

Andy and Larry cover a listener situation where a treatment provider is being difficult. The problem is with receiving payments where the patient is making every effort to pay and be compliant with treatment. Why does the law enforcement apparatus use school resource officers during the summer to monitor registrants? Is it wrong for people to impersonate law enforcement to extort money from registrants? Why was the entire law enforcement apparatus represented in regards to a civil regulatory scheme in reforming the SOR? Is drawing a 1st Amendment right, or is it a thought crime? The rates of sexual offenses continues to fall, but the number of registrants goes up. 40 year sentence is deemed excessive by a conservative judge, given the current administration, are we surprised? The months jobs numbers are good, and this is good news for registrants.

Andy and Larry interview Nick Dubin. Nicolas (Nick) Dubin was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in 2004.

A tip to pass along from Mr Anonymous, who is a patron over at Patreon.com/registrymatters. Mr Anonymous has a suggestion:  If you have changes to specifically things on the Internet, email, passwords, social media, etc. That registrants type (or write) out their changes, if there are any, and have the registry police sign, date, and copy your paper and return to registrants the original. That way, if there is any discrepancy in what you have, versus what you think you have, then you have the evidence to support that you told officer schmoe about your change.

A Tweet from Steven Yoder: The federal govt is now encouraging people to use the national sex off registry to shop for a home. Never mind the many govt-funded studies about the fallacy of proximity in sex crimes.

How formal do you need to be while giving testimony?

This is an impromptu conversation between Larry, Paul, Richard, Brenda and myself. We talked about taking bites out of elephants, how would be best achieve success, contracts and the Internet. We just let the conversation grow organically.

I sincerely hope you enjoy!
