Texas May Force Sex Offenders To Register Gamertags

Well, the bill states that they'd have to let the authorities know every time they make a new "online identifier," so every time they make a new email address, Facebook account etc, so I guess they would be required by law to register every single alt they'd make. Or they could just not do that.Susan Arendt said:
My problem is that, for example, you see a gamertag with a sex offender mark and go online to a forum or something and see someone with the same name, those people could be mistaken for sex offenders.randommaster said:
You mean roughly the same way I'm required by law to drive under the posted speed limit? Yeaaaaaaah, that's gonna work.Keane Ng said:
THere is no problem letting others know that you are a felon. I see no issue with that! If you're on xbox live and your talking to a sex-offended, wouldn't you want to know? I would! I definitely wouldn't want my kids online playing with them if I were a parent! I understand that not everyone is exactly or accurately tried for thier cases... especially dealing with statutory rape in Texas because I grew up there and I know, but there are still consequences for your actions people!
You do realize that the sexual offender registry includes people who "urinated in public"? Who, by megan's law, must inform basically everyone (including potential employers) they are "registered sex offenders"?IamSARAhearMYgrr said:
Urinating in public includes "the side of the road on a 20 hour car ride", you know.
Sex offender registries just don't work. For several reasons... More than I'd care to post, since it's off of just one article I read (one that cited other articles, but just one that I personally read).
Yeah this i'll end well :/
Let's alienate them as much as possible and make sure that they have no chance what so ever to get rid of that mark whether it was decades ago and they've long since moved on. That way they'll be always alone and friendless and therefore they won't ever commit rape ever again right? While we're at it why not publish peoples medical journals, crime records and pictures of your most embarrasing deformaties to make sure that you never ever socialise with the wrong kind of people.
Wouldn't it be enough just to check up in their chat logs every once in a while just to make sure that they don't get in touch with children?

Ah yes Texas, when we're not threatning to secede we're forcing rapists to register. Not that I have anything wrong with that second one.
