Nevada Injunction
Greetings to all Truthseekers!
Currently the state of Nevada has placed a freeze on Bills SB471 and AB579. These Bills are under Constitutional review.
If enacted this legislation would re-categorize thousands of low-risk sex offenders at higher Tier levels based on flawed judgment. They would also have their names, home addresses, work addresses, license plates, and photos listed on the Internet, placing these former offenders and their families in danger of violence from vigilante cults like Absolute Zero United.
These Bills affect all offenders, both the violent and non-violent. If enacted, you will see teenagers who had consensual sex with other teenagers listed next to violent rapists. It is broad-reaching and does nothing to keep children safe, especially since many former offenders have children of their own and there are even some children listed on sex offender registries.
Factually, less than 7% of all sex offenders re-offend and over 90% of sexual abuse will be committed by someone already known to the victim according to the Department Of Justice. Thus, Bills like these are focused in the wrong direction for stopping sexual abuse.

Federal Judge Stops Retroactive State Sex Offender Law! Click here for more info.
This is a huge victory for human rights and we hope this decision motivates other states to re-examine draconian sex offender laws and to use common sense instead of hysteria before they decide to enact them.
