Why? They need to be marking the cars of people that have been caught driving under the influence. Or who have had more than 3 accidents. Is the sex offender gonna hit my boobs with his car or something?

[QUOTE="MagnumPI"]

[QUOTE="TwoStirsPaco"]I think something as inescapably conspicuous as a license plate creates a continuing danger to the individual who would have to display such a thing. I agree that information on sex offenders should be made public; however, I don't agree that sex offenders should be placed in a continuing state of possible physical danger because of something as conspicuous as a license plate. heartcork

I thought the same. Some Marines pull up in their pickup. "Now looky what we got here teh he. Check this sawn of a **** out Gordie. He's one of them there sex O-fenders. WE WERE MARINES BOY!! Sleepin with siblings is one thing.. which is fine with us, just as long as they be 18 or older. BUT sexin up them there youngins is where we draw the line. We fantersize about it, but we be some ah dem what you call..err... hippo crates. Now you best run boy, cause we got scatter guns and no power steering.


Since when are Marines hillbillies? :|

  Well.. Hillbillies love the Marine Corp, because guys who live out in the boonies love water and they are retardily badass. So hillbillies who join the Military join The Marine Corps, because the marine corps fulfills that stigma. Of course not all marines are billies, the US Marine corps is known notoriously for it. It's their thing. It takes a special breed to believe they are invincible.

  All rednecks and billies have a marine corp sticker on their truck and personal possesions. Most southerners do. Being a marine is about believing you're a badass, the best.  It's all about attitude. Billies love that BS, they think they are Clint Eastwood or John Wayne. It's their inspiration, their self-esteem. The driving force that pushes them to be all that they can be, but not in the arrrrrmmyyy.

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]

[QUOTE="whiteshadow55"][QUOTE="Vampyronight"]No, I don't think this is appropriate. If society thinks these people are so untrustworthy, then push for lengthier jail sentences. I would hope that if this law is passed and a sexual offender is attacked, he/she sues the state for massive amounts of money for putting them into danger.whiteshadow55


What college teacher filled ur head with this lol anyways Bill next door Molested 2 little girls horribly and destroyed the rest of there lives But you know what ......i trust him im gonna invite him over for a BBQ and trust him around my kids... i mean damn! He's Earned it ...............He got convicted of raping children and sent to Jail for that (CRIME) Yup He deserves to be trusted Btw mind if ur kids come and play with him also?

Your an idiot.. How will a license plate solve any of this? They are put on the sexual predator list that every one can access not to mention most police departments notify neighbors, if people are some how still gonna be "fooled" from this then they deserve to for being this stupid.. Last I checked a full group of professionals far smarter then most likely you will EVER be deemed that the person was safe and released.. Professional Committee >>>> You.



Not gonna solve it but sure as hell would help..... and again if the sexual predators had one more thing to worry about it would prolly cut down on the crimes but whatever its USA we like to Protect are Criminals for some reason /shrug and i hope your not talking about the ACLU being smarter than me that would make me laugh lol can prolly link every F'd up thing in the usa to them lol The Thing that would solve it is just throw them in Jail But that will never happen either and lastly there are alot bigger things for you to worry about that a Child Molesters safety



This is a good thread, with some interesting thoughts mixed among the usual snarky garbage you get in an internet peanut gallery. sSubZerOo has a good point as usual, though it is stated a bit inflammatory towards whiteshadow55 for my taste.

The idea behind the plates is to increase monitoring of the worst offenders; parole officers cannot be everywhere at once. However, violent crimes against convicted offenders is already high. License plates will increase assaults, road rage, and result in people following the offenders to their places of work and homes. Convicted sex offenders already have a difficult time landing even the most menial employment. Rehabilitation is extremely difficult because it is generally the result of a deeply-embedded psychological problem. Plates would make rehabilitation of those offenders that sincerely want treatment to reenter society considerably more difficult. License plates highlighting convicted sex offenders -even if it's only "the worst" ones- are unlikely to act as a deterrant, their primary purpose. Instead, they are more likely to increase crimes against convicted offenders, increasing their likelihood of repeat offending.



Further, current treatment is expensive: rehabilitation through therapy costs taxpayer dollars and incarceration does the same. Nobody wants to pay to improve the life of a convict, particularly not sex offenders.

Alternatives (to the current system) are few. Generally the populace agrees that euthanizing sex offenders is too extreme (except in the case of child offenders, IMO). Research indicates that surgical or chemical castration reduces the recidivism rate to less than 2%, and may therefore be the most effective deterrent available (source). However, voluntary castration is available in only four states and the Supreme Court has ruled mandatory castration as punishment as unconstitutional. This may change with the rise in sexual offenders, but for now this is rarely an option.

I do not have a solution, but I believe that license plates highlighting offenders among the populace is not the next best course of action. If you have not already seen The Woodsman and this thread piques your interest, I highly, highly recommend that you rent it.

Since I'm not stupid, I treat every stranger like a sex offender. So frankly, I don't give a crap. Not like it's going to change anything for me.MrGeezer
ROFL *every* stranger? Like if I walked up to you and said, "Hey, how's it going?" you'd scream and run away, or tuck into a ball and cover your genitals?

This wouldn't help anything. It would lead to more attacks and deaths. You know what people are like. The people with green plates would be tracked down by people who want to take the law into their own hands.

I think it would be a good idea then small children who see a vehicle with that license plate will know to get the heck out of there and not to trust the person driving the car, although they shouldn't talk to someone they don't know anyways, but I think it would be a good thing.

What is the point of releasing them to society after prison only so everyone should hate them? Seriously bad idea IMO.

If I saw a woman with sex offender plates I'd follow her home and act like a plumber.

People who screw up don't deserved to be punished for life, unless it's really bad, in which case they shouldn't even be out of jail.
