New Grooming Legislation: What could possibly go wrong
New legislation always faces the challenge of being specific enough when defining the target that is being sought with restrictions or sanctions. There is no justice in casting a big net hoping it catches the right activity or individuals. Creating a series of unintended consequences or injustices is a caution.
The attached article from Reason describes how one person faced criminal challenges for innocent behavior.
Florida bills SB1238/HB1135 Lewd and Lascivious Grooming have potential shortcomings that could lead to similar scenarios described in the attached story. The potential for teachers, youth pastors, mentors in protected classes facing unintended risks exists.
Injustice anywhere is Injustice everywhere was a famous speech at one time. Can law enforcement pervert their own self-justification in their own actions? This story tells the truth and even this internet set-up does also. Where doing it to keep adults from talking to teenager via the internet when they play the teen themselves. what self justification. Even the sexual content by law enforcement isn’t becoming of law enforcement. Court systems should be just as ashamed of their actions of “grooming” or goading another
.
They are creating a crime by the inducement of the motivation and/or situation which is very telling and raising questions to all this registry ordeal that has cost many to be black- listed in many ways.
This article is so typical of how law enforcement works. It’s not just on Asian massage parlors. They use vague terms like ,sex offender or predator or alarming high recidivism rate And many other terms to insinuate guilt without any evidence what so ever. I heard a comment on tv the other evening about an alleged sex crime where the person said he had never heard of this type crime where there was only one victim. This is what we’re up against. We are dealing with a world of ignorant fools.
This is earily similar to online CP cases the feds often prosecute. If you read thru the DOJs website about those case, the “victims” don’t even have to be nude or identified as minors. Speculation will suffice. All too often, the federal agents make generalized assertions to obtain search warrants.
—”embellished, omitted, and made up facts to paint Joe Ferreri as an international sex trafficker,” his targeting was “patently unconstitutional” Cops face little recourse, even when their cases totally fall apart and were based on little more than writing some sort of Asian sex-slave fanfic.
Catfishing online is another one. Corruption
—”embellished,…fanfic…

Wow, it shows that the government will do anything they want destroy lives and kill just to make more money and gain more power so they can yell that they did something great, which is all a lie. I heard some of that crap when I was arrested. I hold hope one day that they will be held accountable for all the illegal and shady things they do. But it’s getting less and less every day and the general public don’t care just because of the title given to us.
Until it happens to someone in their family. Then they want to care.
At the risk of being arrested under this proposal depending on who reads it, this bill reads like Grady Judd’s [moderated].
