Reply #13: I think it is very unfair

to change the rules after the conviction is secured. In some states people convicted in the 60's who had no idea these lists would exist wound up on these. In many cases they had plea bargained and agreed to a certain punishment. It is one thing to levy punishments when people know they are getting them but quite another to say years later BTW we aren't through with you yet.

On edit If you were actually refering to my third to last and second to last sentences then look at post 9 and add in sodomy statutes for my idea of less serious sex crimes. In many states those crimes are covered on these lists. So some closet case who pled in the 60's to sodomy or sex in a john ends up being outed. That is just wrong.
