I have to say - I'm not in support of sex offenders, but there are people out there that are wrongfully convicted of crimes they did not commit--either wrong place, wrong time or the "victim" got pissed off & didn't get what they wanted, so to get even, they want to ruin another person's life & the system will convict to put a person in prison. Keep in mind--the state (any state) gets $30-$40 thousand per inmate incarcerated. Most of us are lucky to even make that much money, take home! I'm not saying that those who truly did commit a crime don't need punishment--but there are innocent people that are in prison for crimes not committed. When the incarcerated are released, most just want a chance to make their life right.

There does need to be a system of better catergorization of "offenders". I tend to disagree with the special plates law. That's a false sense of security. Just because you can see other drivers who have yellow plates or sex offender plates - why does that make you feel safer? Your chances are still there - you could get into an accident with someone who has no special plates - a driver running late for work or an appointment, or a truck could hit you because the driver fell asleep, God could strike you down by lightning, etc.

My point is - there are other types of criminals out there. Where's the plates or registry sites that tell you that you're living next to a drug dealer? a murderer? a serial killer? a burglar? Where are their "special plates" or websites? Should there be plates for criminals who shop lifted? Registry sites for those who did illegal drugs in college, but were never convicted of the crime? Where's the site for people who ran a stop light or habitual speeders? Should these people have special plates & registry sites too? Come on, are you just going to spend your life on the internet looking up every possible person
listed around you to see who did what?

Don't just judge someone you don't know because of what a plate or website tells you. Know that person, then decide. We all as humans have faults or make mistakes or made wrong decisions--but each day we breathe & live--God gives us a chance at living life. Those who've served their time for crimes that they were wrongfully convicted of does deserve a chance to try to make their lives right. They need jobs to support themselves & their family, they have bills to pay just like you & I do.
