How so?
The Constitution isn't being tramped on....when you violate the rights of others, you lose a few yourself-that's the way of our judicial system. Felons can't own guns, vote, etc.
Nothing is foolproof and nothing is without shortcomings; if you don't break the laws, you're fine. I will admit, there are grey areas in all aspects, not to mention failings within judicial postionings-judges, lawyers, etc., are not gods and some are completely inept, but that's not the majority.
But laws protect the guilty too. Even if I wished to, I can't go to some felon's house and forceably get him out of town. I can't file imaginary charges (well, I could, but then I'd be a felon) on a whim just to be what some here have already labeled me as.
The subject has a right to live within the confines of his conditional release-in this case registering under Megan's Law. I have a right to protect my family-in this case keeping them informed about who lives nearby. He has no right to come after me and mine any more than I have the right to go after him and we both have the right to privacy. I don't see how this contradicts anything in the Constitution. (?)
