Proof that sex offenders make people act crazy (with update)
Feb 13th
Title Bout: Ohio v. USA
Sex offender hysteria is well documented. Apparently, the Federal Government is also not immune from its mind altering effects. Consider the case of John Doe in Ohio. John Doe, convicted in 1993 of sexual battery in state court, is currently on Federal probation for unrelated drug offenses.
A zealous probation officer must’ve looked at Doe’s criminal record and noticed the sex offense conviction. So, the probation officer required Doe to register as a sex offender in Ohio. Only one problem: Ohio state law exempts Doe from registering.
And thus, the tug-of-war between the Federal Government and the State of Ohio begins. Whose requirements prevail? Or will it all be disregarded because the object of this “war” is to get a heinous, evil, dangerous, disgusting, despicable sex offender to register his whereabouts? Some counties in Ohio have had the testicular fortitude to tell the Feds to stick it, but unfortunately not the county in which Doe resides.
Following the crumbs
Feb 13th
I haven’t done this in a few months, so on this Friday the 13th let’s take a look at what brought you psychotic internet readers to my blog. As always, act your age.
- Of all the searches, the top non law related search was for “naked pictures”. Unfortunately, all they got was this lousy post.
- “me naked” was also popular. Presumably, these people have no mirrors.
- “is law school for me” is also a surprisingly common phrase used in search engines, just behind “what is my name”.
- “shame on you”. yes, shame on me indeed.
- “stachatory rape laws”
- quite a few visitors admonished me to “learn law” or, in the case of the more articulate ones “learn the law”.
- I like the simplicity of this one: “beer”. Yes, please.
- “Eye of the beholder porn”. That’s a new fetish.
- my personal favorite: “gravity defender”. Now if only they meant gravitas defender.
- “let me see you naked”, to which I say “buy me a drink first”.
- “humorous porn”. Porn is serious business.
- “Is it ethical for a public defender to refuse to represent a person believed to be guilty?” I get this one a lot, so let me say this once and for all: No.
- “halp”. bai, thx.
- “purple heart trees”. And they say you have to earn one.
- “asleep”. Okay, I get the hint.
