I'm trying to look up the laws about the registry in my state and county but all I seem to find is websites about locating SO's.....like the different registry sites by county and state. That doesn't seem right to me. Where can I look at the specific laws for state and county and not just look at a map to see where the next person down the street is that has had their rights taken away??...

In late December, 2010, John and Jane Does 1 through 31 filed suit against the state of NE to stop the implementation of LB285, which was Nebraska's attempt to come into compliance with the Adam Walsh Act and SORNA. Previously, Nebraska used a risk-based assessment to categorize sex offenders into three levels. Level 3's, the most likely to re-offend, were on the public registry. With LB285, all offenders are on the public registry. Also, LB285 provided for unannounced home and auto searches of all offenders, monitoring equipment installed on computers and electronic equipment that the RSO may have access to, and registration of all vehicles that the RSO may have access to. Under LB285, RSOs would not be allowed to use any social networking site, any instant messaging site, any text messaging via phone. Most people think social networking is limited to My Space and Face Book, but many sites require you to provide a profile to participate in reading and commenting on blogs and articles. LB285 also included travel restrictions. All travel must be reported 3 days in advance if the RSO plans to stay longer than 7 days. This is especially troublesome for truck drivers and RSOs who travel for business, sometimes at a moment's notice, not to mention unplanned deaths in the family or even the RSO's own hospitalization. If an RSO were to have a major accident and be comatose for longer than 7 days, s/he would be guilty of a felony. The suit was filed in Federal Court, alleging infringement of the 1st, 4th, 8th, and 10th amendments. The Does received an injunction which prevented the computer/internet restrictions from taking effect, but the rest of it stands for now.

We are an independent legislative advocacy group dedicated to making communities safer by reducing recidivism. Our method for achieving these goals is to push for effective and intelligent laws and to reexamine residency restrictions and offender registries. We have families too, and we are concerned about our communities. We believe that if you have served your sentence and are returned to society, if you can't find housing, if you can't find employment, and if you can't secure family or community support, you are going back to prison. This does not help communities; this doesn't make our families safer. This does nothing but increase recidivism. Together we must work to break this cycle.
