The Weatherman can't tell what this, or any, hurricane is going to do, but registrants are supposed to have the foresight (esp w/the hurricane) to know how long they will be gone from their homes, so that they can properly notify their local Sheriff of their absence, before they leave. And exactly how would they know where they are going? These laws and those that administrate them are plain insane.8-30-2012 Louisiana:
State Attorney General Buddy Caldwell cautioned thousands of convicted sex offenders who may be evacuating because of Hurricane Isaac:
"Louisiana registered sex offenders and registered child predators: Under Louisiana law, you are required to notify law enforcement of any changes in residence, including any temporary situation that may cause an absence from your usual place of residence for more than seven days," Caldwell said.
"If you are traveling to another state, you should check in with the law enforcement agency in that location to determine the reporting requirements in that state. If you decide you need to evacuate to a shelter, contact your local parish sheriff or Office of Emergency Preparedness and inform them that you are a registered sex offender/child predator who is seeking shelter as a result of Hurricane Isaac. They will advise you of the shelter to which you must report," said Caldwell.
"The easiest and quickest way to comply with these reporting requirements is to log onto the Internet-based law enforcement notification service provided by the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Association at www.offenderwatchexpress.com," he said.
"If you are unable to access the Internet for any reason, you are required to directly notify the appropriate law enforcement agencies of the change in your geographic location," Caldwell said.
