      Sex offenders are the new lepers. She fitted him with a GPS bracelet and drove him to the 88th Street bridge. "At least we could check on him," she said. "We could keep trying to find him a place. I'm sorry to say it, but it was the best we had to offer." On the fourth night, he cut off his monitor and fled.

      Mouse-Trapped: Substitute Teacher To Be Sentenced Friday

      Posted by Kathy from Security Focus

      What is wrong with America? In Connecticut, a 40 year old substitute teacher is about to be labeled a sex offender and sentenced for up to 40 years in prison for exposing kids to porn ... when it looks like she was the victim of spyware. Add to this the Genarlow Wilson case in Georgia, and we have a country obsessed with punishing alleged sex crimes. Color us Puritan. Read Rasch's take.

    Sign of a breakdown, indeed. Dangerous to both offender and general public.

     Sex Offenders are the other form of terrorist according to the government, because you don’t know who they are or where they are. So the government says to protect us and our children they will implant V Chips, not only in us, but in our cars, passports, identification, and run surveillance on our streets, homes, friends, and conversations. 96.5% of sex offenders are family members or friends to the victim, 97% are male, and only 3.5% of convicted sex offenders reoffend… Therefore the odds are YOU are more of a threat to commit a sex offense than a "sex offender". Mull over that for a moment.
     What will the next set of laws be? Will they treat us more like criminals than they currently are over statistics like these? Will we again support them for the reasons or justifications of “good intentions”?
     How can we prosecute people for life knowing how easy it is to be charged and convicted of a sex offense? Do you realize how many death row inmates have been found innocent due to D.N.A.? They convict sex offenders every day with merely ones word against anothers, today, a simple lie can wreck your life! How do V Chips, satellites, surveillance, and treating us like criminals stop our children from having a sexual encounter, or save us from terrorists that our government antagonizes?
     There have however been thousands of vigilante attacks that have gotten an estimated 4000 innocent people hurt and even killed by mistaken identity or wrong addresses all together. In one case a pregnant woman was burned alive for nothing she had done. Now we harass or kill his/her family and friends as well? Is this what we have become? We now allow rights to be ignored?
    There are now about 600,000 registered sex offenders, that is about the same number of truly patriotic men who died for those rights that you are ignoring. Anyone who would support breaking them is NOT patriotic Americans!!! As Americans how can we allow the government strip rights because they feel it’s (justified)?

    Microsoft Windows is a sieve. I wonder if one day she’ll be able to sue Microsoft for damages.

    The courts just don’t understand technology – the whole court system, lawyers, juries and sadly often police. The defendant’s attorney as you note also performed poorly.

    More on the story from Computer Security Online. Step-by-step details that make me wonder who the heck was this woman’s lawyer.

    And if you aren’t familiar with the Genarlow Wilson story, you should be. Read about it.
