There was a law passed in Ohio under the Adam Walsh Act. This gives the FedGovt the right to dictate to state lawmakers how to RETROACTIVELY re-align sex-offenders within Ohio. This law forces double jeopardy, makes the plea deal nul & void and other problems.
Please don't get me wrong. I know that SO's need to have some guidelines for protection of the general public, but the ones that are in prison now are being forced to sign papers re-assigning them a higher level of offense WITHOUT an attorney present, they ARE NOT told they can appeal this within 60 days of signing it. But if they are making a sex offender register, I would also like to know if a drug dealer, murderer and/or other serious offender is living within a stone's throw of my house too!
Here's the kicker: the Adam Walsh Act (AWA) is a MONETARY INCENTIVE LAW that was hurried and passed without regard to the defendent nor his/her family so that the State could collect Federal Money!
Your thoughts.....
