Lawsuit challenges Missouri’s Halloween sign requirement
This lawsuit was filed recently in a federal district court, challenging that the First Amendment protects citizens from compelled speech.
The ACSOL Executive Director Janice Bellucci will be added as an attorney in the lawsuit once the court approves.

Not sure about Missouri, but for those who were in Civil Commitment – Being released requires a specific finding that the person is no longer a danger to the community. In that case, it seems that posting signs or even being on the registry would be unnecessary. After all, the person has been found in a court to no longer be a danger….
If they put a sign in my yard I’d be in jail because I’d take it out. I don’t think putting my family at risk or embarrassing them is fair. It’s their lives they’re playing with!

Some good legal defenses for missing sign are:
My dog ate it, Chuck Norris stole it, It spontaneously combusted, the county removed it due to a “No signs” ordinance, It was taken by aliens, Protestors took it and painted it to showcase the causes they are fighting for, and “What sign?, I don’t have no stinking sign”.
I truly LOL’d. Thanks for the chuckle @CherokeeJack!

Glad you got a chuckle. Sometimes I am the only one to laugh at my silliness. What isn’t funny is we have to laugh at our own misfortunes due to the registry, to keep from going mental. As we know, nothing about the registry is funny, but instead depressive.
Do you think the judges, law makers and law enforcement care that our families are suffering along with us due to registry publication?
Well one Florida Sheriff’s office may be losing 17 deputies due to fraud.

Put a (THIEF) sign in their yards.
