This is also why i disagree with registering sex-offenders on the internet. I think the NCIC is good enough.

Thats like saying parole is double jeopardy. The parolee got released from prison, but his rights are still restricted and he can't leave the county! Why that's double jeopardy! he's being punished again, by golly!
Sorry, just like the sex offender registry, it isn't a second punishment for the same crime, it is the continuation of the sentance that was given. Serve time - get on parole - get on a sex offender registry.
Sex offenders in this country are luckey they live in this country and not some middle eastern country where they would tie him down, cut off his genitals and stone him to death. They have it pretty good here. They even get the chance to do it again because we don't have the nuts to lock them up forever.
