Assuming registrants may be dangerous people, what good is the registry which merely tells you where they will be sleeping for a few hours of the day/night? It does not tell you where they are at other times, law enforcement needs to define "Safety" without politicizing the registry; how many folks were murdered where you live? Thats a concern to me.10-10-2013 Idaho:
TWIN FALLS • About 226 people in Twin Falls County are registered sex offenders. But what about the ones who aren’t on the list?
Sheriff’s Staff Sgt. Doug Sugden oversees the county’s sex offender registry and often gets calls from worried residents when a sex offender moves into their neighborhood.
“I tell them do nothing,” Sugden said.
By knowing who the offender is and where he or she lives, you’ve won more than half the battle.
“You have to worry about the guys and gals not on my list,” he said.
For the most part, compliant registered offenders want to move on with their lives and generally behave well.
“People on the registry are monitored,” he said. “They know they’re on the radar.”
This month, Sugden’s office will send out letters to registered offenders strongly urging them to turn their lights off on Halloween and not participate in festivities.
While parents can use the registry to avoid offenders’ homes, Sugden said, the key to keeping kids safe is education, even if it’s a difficult subject. ..Source.. by MagicValley.com
