Louisiana requires FSOs to personally mail post cards to neighbors within xx feets of where they live. There is no doubt this forced procedure, to carry thye government's message is unconstitutional. Someday the ACLU will take up the cause and prove same in court, hopefully.11-23-2010 Louisiana:
The New Orleans Police Department's Sex Crimes Unit has arrested 84 people so far this year for failing to comply with their orders to notify neighbors and law enforcement officials of their crime.
Lt. Paul Noel, who heads the unit, said at a news conference Monday that he and his detectives found the offenders because of ongoing compliance checks that began in earnest last week.
The push to investigate each offender isn't new, Noel said. But, he added, he hopes the publicity will stop offenders from eluding the checks, whether they are new to the city or longtime residents.
There are more than 630 registered sex offenders living in the city, Noel said, and the NOPD has done more than 800 compliance checks so far this year.
There are three tiers of sex offenders, some of whom have to check in with police once a year for 15 years, all the way up to those who are required to check in with detectives every 90 days for the rest of their lives.
"We plan on conducting a compliance check on every sex offender in New Orleans," Noel said. ..Source.. by Danny Monteverde, The Times-Picayune
