I must admit laws for sex offenders get dumber and dumber, can you imagine how quickly a computer would be rendered useless if worthless temporary files were not deleted. Its like how quickly a car would be destroyed if one never changed the oil. Is there a lawmaker anywhere that knows anything about a computer, or the Internet?12-28-2009 Illinois:
UPDATE: Will there be a law enacted, so that, if a sex offender buys a computer, that the delete key must be removed?
While Illinois lawmakers were unable during their last legislative session to resolve a mounting budget crisis, they were able to reach agreement on the passage of 300 new laws that take effect Jan. 1.
These new laws range from warning bowlers about the dangers of wearing bowling shoes outdoors to seeking help for compulsive hoarders over the age of 60.

Internet Safety
A law targeting Internet safety prohibits a convicted sex offender from accessing a social networking Web site while on parole, mandatory supervised release, probation, conditional discharge or court supervision...Source.. Courier Press.com
Another law targeting sex offenders makes it illegal for them to use computer software to delete information on any computer used by the offender.

ANOTHER poorly-written piece-of-crap law!!! So, does this law mean an r.s.o. cannot use specialized software that can remove all traces of something that was on a computer once it has been deleted and the "trash" or "recycle bin" has been emptied? Or, does it mean it's now illegal to use the "delete" button on a keyboard or within any program?
This law will topple like a house of cards in court, and I hope a lawsuit against it is filed at 12:01 AM on New Year's Day!!!
