that if someone is a danger they should remain in prison and that continued penalties after serving a prison term aren't fair. However, the fact is that courts don't take cases of rape and child abuse seriously enough and grant far too light sentences. We know that pedophiles in particular are extremely difficult to rehabilitate. So given the reality of how the justice system actually works, this is a bad thing that will almost certainly lead to the lives of more children being destroyed.

Thank goodness.

Maybe these people in that district will come to their senses.

And from a comment:
"And you can thank Georgia Gun Owners inc for helping get him elected. By their own statement they said they were the main reason he was elected."

"Unfortunately for me, being kind of a redneck from Cherokee County, I don't play the politics game that much; I'm honestly trying to do the right thing," he added.

If a sex offender's registration level isn't high enough to prohibit them from being around a school, then there shouldn't be an arbitrary loophole in the loitering law that prevents them more than anyone else from being at a school.

The ID to police, though, is silly. If police have reasonable suspicion or probable cause to contact someone, that person should be legally compelled to identify themselves. Identifying yourself isn't a violation of the 5th amendment right against self incrimination and this has been recognized in courts across the country, time and time again.

This post in no way supports penalties for failing to present ID when the police lack reasonable suspicion or probable cause.

were convicted of crimes against children. Further, some were put on the list as a result of things they did when they themselves were minors. Some are on the list for statutory rape.

A blanket ban from schools for all sex offenders is the wrong way to go.
