Another state that will be violating rights of their registrants using the Adam Walsh Act, the Act of entrapment!5-3-2010 Delaware:
Wilmington, Del. — Delaware has become just the second state in the country to achieve compliance with the federal Adam Walsh Act.
This recognition by the federal government reflects the significant steps Delaware has taken in recent years to strengthen the fight against criminals who prey on children, Attorney General Beau Biden said.
The State Department of Safety and Homeland Security, Delaware State Police, and members of the General Assembly worked with the Department of Justice to enact legislation that brought Delaware into compliance with the Adam Walsh Act, Biden said. The agencies has have an ongoing partnership to track offenders and investigate and prevent sex crimes.
“We will never stop fighting to get these criminals off the streets and away from our children,” Biden said.
The U.S. Department of Justice recently determined that Delaware has substantially implemented the provisions of the sex offender registration and notification provisions of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. The Act aligns sex offender registry standards across the states and asks states to place the burden of proof on convicted sex offenders.

Biden created the Delaware Department of Justice Child Predator Unit and established the Delaware Child Predator Task Force in partnership with the Delaware State police. He has fought for tougher sex offender registry laws and led the effort to enact greater penalties for child pornography offenses. As a result of these efforts, over $1.3 million in federal grant funding has already been secured to expand Delaware’s fight against child predators.
Under current federal rules, states that fail to substantially implement these provisions by July 26 stand to lose 10 percent of their annual federal Byrne Justice Assistance Grant funding.
Biden’s office is overseeing the prosecution of former Lewes, Del. pediatrician Dr. Earl Bradley, who is accused of raping or sexually abusing 103 children at his office. ..Source.. Community News

What a joke to see the low level of states actually complying with it. What's even more sad, is the fact after 4 years, they keep making changes; obviously they still can't get it right, and probably never will. Just another waste of money on a dying registry scheme imposed by the Feds, that's proving to be unpopular with the states, especially considering the fact it'll cost them more than any grants they will receive. Where's the cost effectiveness?
