Absolute nonsense, no registry of names and addresses, can protect anyone. The list tells folks where a person sleeps for a few hours of the day/night, and no more. Ask yourself, is there anyway having a list of car dealers would prevent you from being taken by one of them when buying a car? NO! The registry is the same.4-10-2013 New Mexico:
Sex offender registry more robust, interactive
The New Mexico Department of Public Safety has unveiled an upgraded Sex Offender Registry, which aims to prevent future sex attacks by keeping the public notified about the location of registered sex offenders.
The state did have a previous sex offender registry website, but Cabinet Secretary of Public Safety Gordon Eden said the new website is more advanced.
“This is by far a more robust website. We're now linked to every county in the state and every county is linked to us,” Eden said.
Users can type in their home or work address and find the sex offenders that live closest to them. A description of each offender is available, including a photo, the offender's address, any discernible tattoos and a list of their offenses.
The revamped website was made possible by a $450,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice.
The website is part of Offender Watch, which allows New Mexico to be part of an online offender management network that links public safety agencies with several other states.
"Parents have all the tools that they need to make sure that their kids are safe and that's what's most important," said Gov. Susana Martinez.
Victims of a specific offender can also sign up for email alerts, which will notify them if an offender has moved to another home address. ..Source.. by KOAT.com
