I feel like I am fighting an uphill battle on this, and I really don't blame Americans but rather the journalists. This morning I was reading a question from a woman who was in favor of castrating sex offenders. Perhaps in GB do only child molesters get listed on sex offender registries But do Americans realize that the list of offenses which one can get listed on the sex offender registries is staggering and growing. In California, there are 107 separate offenses. In some states, a non-custodial parent taking their child may be listed as a sex offender. A Georgia woman was listed as a sex offender who "allowed" her 16 year old daughter to become pregnant.

The original intention was to track child molesters and serial predators. And with Jessica's Laws being passed, many of these "offenders" are being banned from entire cities and states. Talk about ex post facto laws.

Is anyone else concerned and outraged about these laws? What is the next step?

I am currently 6 months into a 1-yr lease on a (too big for me) apartment. Due to recent unexpected financial setbacks the total rent per month ($1250) is about $500 more than I can now afford.

Is there a civil (not terribly stress-inducing) way to break a lease ...the lease has no information about that prospect. My "common sense" tells me it'll be okay if I just go talk to the management and explain my situation, I'm just afraid that "common sense" may actually be me being naive... What do you think? please help! Thanks.

If you refuse to submit to a sobriety test, will the peace officer possibly not penalize you if there is no proof you have been drinking?
