Petition to Declare Public Sex Offender Registration in the United States a Violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)
Today, approximately one-million people in the United States are forced to register as “sex offenders”. The label leads to stigmatization, separation from society, loss of employment, loss of housing and even exposure to violence at the hands of vigilantes. The stigmatization extends to the spouses, children, family, friends, employer and anyone that associates with the registrant. The isolation, shame, stress, fear of violence, loss of income and other psychological effects are experienced by the entire household.
Sorry to hear for their loss, but slam the county, state, and tax payers for all that you can.
Channel 9 couldn’t resist the chance to smear Mr. Jones for his decades old crime. Their only concern seems that taxpayers will have to pay for a lawsuit, on top of blah, blah, blah. Channel 9 also thinks registration is probation, stating he had a VOP.
Floriduh has no intention of ever reforming “justice.” It’s all lip service until all are treated equally under the law. No one should even be arrested for a FTR or VOP.
I hope Mr. Jones’ family sues not only Brevard County, but the quack medics’ parent company as well.
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey is one of those “lock em up and toss the key” types. I hope the family of the deceased can get some justice
Heartbreaking for the family. The state of Florida is barbaric.
Really…she just said at the end he’s been in Jail for a year for failure to register are you kidding me people are loosing everything for these 2nd punishment laws jail times means most offenders will loose everything they struggled to get already ….and when the court said already you didn’t have to if sanctions are not complete why isn’t everyone retroactively released until they can reword the new punishment?
How nice of them to drop the charges after he died. This really makes me mad as hell. This could be anyone one of us at anytime over the slightest little thing.
When I was in jail waiting to go to prison, I lost 38 lbs. We got just 2 meals a day consisting of 2 slices of bread with a thin slice of baloney, a couple of dirty mini carrots and a childs juice box. For breakfast we got a slice of toast, some egg “Product” and a childs milk.
Asking to see a doctor for anything was like asking the President to pardon you, which was much more likely to happen than to get any medical help from jail staff.
Its unbelievable how a mass murderer serves their time, is release and can have a normal life and no one will ever know, but an offender pays for the rest of his life, where is the justice, the US is the only country to have these ugly and insane laws, so your paying for rest of your life

A house I lived in about 15 years ago, I had a neighbor who kept to himself. One day the police came and knocked on my door. I thought they were coming to arrest ME but instead asked “When was the last time I saw mister XYZ”.
I told them I hardly ever see him but his lights are always on at night. Come to find out, the guy had been arrested at least 20 times in 20 years for burlaries. But no one notified ME nor any of the neighbors that I was living next to a 20 time repeat serial robber, burglar, thief and shop lifter.
This news story is from 2016. Still, unnecessary and tragic.
