I'm just curious as to when these people quit being offenders and become regular members of society.
I agree with mal (again) that hate crimes legislation is just silly. A crime is always going to be a hate crime. (of course this is exempt for things like jaywalking and the such) - On the subject of the license plates, there are a few states considering making sex offenders use pink plates. This is one of the worst ideas I could think of. Let's just make them more of a target shall we? What about the people who took a plea because someone said something completely false but was scared as to what could happen if he/she was wrongfully convicted? I just fail to see how the current system is any good or how making it tougher on <b>single</b> offenders can be good. (single= one charge, one conviction) Violent offenders and repeat offenders of course is a different story.
