The truth be told these laws are not protecting anyone. Studys by the US Dept Of Justice have shown that over 95% of those arrested for sexual assault have NO prior arrest record at all. And over 90% of sexual assaults are commited by a person well known and trusted by the victim with over 50% of them being a family member. Now what we do need is for those that are a danger to re-offend to be listed on a sex offender registry and testing that could be paid for by the sex offender is very good in showing who is at the most risk. Then only list those who are who are the most risk to re-offend on a public registry. Stop the waste of our tax money and start looking for ways to protect us that are real and not just laws that do nothing.

They have added many people to sex offender registrys (SOR) that are of no danger. It is time for those in office to understand that the more names on SOR's the less use the SOR is to the public and the police. It is time to only put those on the SOR that are of danger and to require all known sex offenders to pay for testing that showes how much of a risk they are to reoffend. Do not quess by using old arrest infromation, get the up todate information and use it. In Michigan as in other states the laws on sex offenders have gone to far.
