Fact- -just about 60% of RSO became a RSO by someone crying "witch"- known fact. It is WAY to easy to cry "sex offense"- -especially if the person that is being accused doesn't have any money and this is done out of "spite"- -no one cares, not one single person, it just seems easier for the lazy people that supposed to run out justice to lock someone up than to find out if they REALLY are guilty. In a nut shell, Texas has the WORST justice system in our nation- -and number one on putting anyone in prison in our nation. Why?

But, there are many RSO's who on the other hand comply fully. I wish the powers to be in Austin or D.C. would offer an Incinative for the RSO who complies for a specified amount of time without re-offense of ANY crime. To have their case reviewed and pass a polygraph then be moved to a seperate, more secure location on Databases which would allow them privacy but Not remove any data used by Law Enforcement in the event of an Amber Alert or the like. Some of us RSO's in Texas would be happy if we could just maintain steady employment and residence without fear of being moved or fired because the info on the web led them to being mis-identified as a more dangerous preditor than he/she in reality is.<BR/><BR/>When a Criminal proves he/she is worthy of less supervision, allow it to them. If they bite the allowing hand, Reincarserate them.<BR/><BR/>Rewards for Good behavior, un-missed anual registration appointments and maybe even a polygraph. can raise the esteem of the Offender and make them work harder for the next bonus and maybe one day freadom from "Public" view. While for the safety of the comunity and children their Info should remain available to Law Enforcement. While the bottom line is still protecting Society, Children and inocent people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-17162521638825664392008-05-19T09:10:00.000-05:002008-05-19T09:10:00.000-05:00I know this is an older post, but I think somethin...I know this is an older post, but I think something needs to be said to the Probation Officer. First and foremost, I think you need to get another job. It seems that your present occupation is wearing you thin. Second, ofcourse registering and counseling are the two toughest things to get us to do. We are tired of having our rights violated and stepped on. Let's see your gang-bangers comply with forced registration, and forced mind control.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-15000078334862073922007-10-26T20:58:00.000-05:002007-10-26T20:58:00.000-05:00I have been a probation officer for over 22 years....I have been a probation officer for over 22 years. I've worked with gang members for 8 years, Domestic Violence cases for 2 years and the last 2 and 1/2 as a Supervision officer for a Sex Offender caseload. It amazes me that the biggest problems I have to deal with are Registration and Counseling. Seems like most don't want to do either, unless forced. <BR/>I'm sick of the bleeding hearts who FEEL SORRY for these poor mistreated souls. When are we going to say AND mean: enough is enough? NO MORE VICTIMS is what should be demanded! Don't give me any excuses, lock them up for good if they refuse to follow the rules. <BR/>As for the preceding comment, the others probably didn't get caught and you are naive to believe only one re-offended in 13 years.
