Should sex offenders names, and address be posted on the internet? [View All]

I'm probably alone in my views, and I hope i don't get flamed for this, but I cannot support anything that infringes on somebodies rights.

The way I see it is that it is unconstitutional, unless during the sentencing, the jury/judge specifically says that part of his punishment will be to have his name posted on the internet. While I want to be safe, I am not willing to feel safe at the expense of someone elses rights, and truly knowing they're there will not make me feel safer. The only thing in my eyes this leads to is them being ostrasized by society. The Punishment is them going to jail, and parole, once they've adheard to these, they have atoned for their mistakes, if that's possible, and do not deserve such treatment.

I recognize that they are both monsters for doing what they did, and can never atone to the person and family for what they've done. But the victim and the family do not have the right to administer punishment, that is the job of the government.
