RM381: Does a Conviction Erase Parental Rights?

52 minutes

This week on Registry Matters: Advocacy groups finally force Pennsylvania State Police to answer for eight years of ignoring a legally mandated telephone registry verification system. Plus, we examine the 11th Circuit’s en banc ruling that recognizes parental rights as fundamental while stopping short of striking down Alabama’s ban on registrants living with their own children. And a defense attorney’s drug smuggling arrest takes a darker turn when CSAM is discovered on his devices.

The Registry Matters Podcast’s mission is to cover issues surrounding the Registry. We cover cases that will peel back the veneer of what we need to do to change our lives for the better. We cover news articles that spark conversations about the total insanity of this modern day witch hunt. This podcast will call out bad policy and call out those that are making bad policy.

To change things for the positive, we need to act. We are 6-7-8-900k strong. With that many people, plus their friends and family, over a million people are affected by the registry. We should be able to secure donations to hire lawyers and lobbyists to move the agenda in our favor. We need our people to be represented.
