'Very intrusive powers – as intrusive as someone busting down your door'
Police and state intelligence agencies from several countries may soon be working together to secretly hack into private citizens' personal computers without their knowledge and without a warrant.
I pastor a church in the cozy town of Omaha, Ill. A friend here recently confided in me that a number of people are concerned that a "child molester" has been attending my church. He asked if that is really true. Then he said, "This has been a big dark cloud hanging over your entire operation there."
Well, the guy was no "child molester." (And even if he had been, it would be irrelevant.) Over 15 years ago, as a stupid 20-year-old, he flashed a couple of minors, and he paid dearly. He admits he was wrong. But he now has a wife, a son, a good job and is one of the finest Christian men I know. I have five children, and I trust him with them. Unfortunately, a person can get labeled as a "sex offender" whether he urinated in public, physically assaulted someone or did something in between. But when the state requires a person to register, everyone assumes the worst. I never heard anyone say, "A sex offender moved into town. I hope he doesn't pee outside!"
I do understand the desire to have an online registry. While I have known the guy for years, I don't know those other guys.
Perhaps we should even expand the Internet registry. Then we could be even better protected. Before letting customers in your store, check the thief registry to ensure they never shoplifted as teenagers. Consult the marijuana registry to guarantee your baby sitter never smoked dope 20 years ago.
Are some sins worse than others? Display everyone's sins online and let readers decide for themselves.
The Story below depicts how children in America, Teens are being arrested and placed into jail to await the ultimate, being branded a Sex Offender for the rest of their lives for simply having sex with one another.

MANITOWOC — A 17-year-old Mishicot teen was charged with two felony counts after he allegedly had sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl multiple times between September and November, according to a criminal complaint filed Monday.
David Brandt was charged with bail jumping and repeated sexual assault of a child.
The sexual contact began shortly after the 2008-09 school year began, according to the criminal complaint. (I would bet that the girl's father is a judge, mayor, or rich and that the boy and his family are poor.)
A 13-year-old Sutton girl is being held in the a Youth Facility after two boys said she sexually assaulted them on a school bus.
The boys, also 13, of Sutton, said the girl touched them over their clothing, Palmer Police Det. Kelly Turney said. Police went to Palmer Junior Middle School Jan. 9 to investigate and ended up arresting the girl.
My thoughts, if a 13 year old girl, is touching boys private parts, is told to stop and does not. Parents, PARENTS of the girl should be called in to handle the situation. Why are Americans allowing the Police and court systems to handle the parenting of our children?
Children charged with sex crimes. Branded Sex Offender for life some times for simply doing stupid stuff that kids do while growing up.
What is this country coming to where the citizens of this country continually allow government to grow bigger, take more of our rights, and even take over the job of raising our children?
Turney said little information could be released about the incident since all the involved parties are juveniles and that a press release discussing the case was necessarily brief and vague. “All people see is what we can release, but I can tell you it’s not that simple,” Turney said.
He said officers weighed the facts of the case and decided that two charges of second-degree harassment and one each of second-degree sexual assault and attempted second-degree sexual assault were appropriate.
“You balance the public safety, the safety of the victims and then you take a look at those and you balance those with what’s going to be the best decision to be made to reach those goals,” Turney said.

Sometimes the text of one bill or resolution is incorporated into another, and in those cases the original bill or resolution, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned.
While most Americans were bombarded with news coverage regarding the presidential race without end, President George W. Bush almost silently signed a senate bill that would change America forever.
S.1858 allows the federal government to screen the DNA of all newborn babies in the United States. According to the legislation, the new law must be implemented within 6 months of Bush's bill signing in April 2008.
According to police experts, this infant DNA collection is now being carried out by individual states and sample DNA is being submitted to the feds. Congressman Ron Paul states that this bill is the first step towards the establishment of a national DNA database.
This story is a shame. A Tragedy of epic proportions. Americans should not stand for this, and it is happening everywhere in this country.
Oakland youth in sex diary case found dead, committed suicide after finding out he would be placed on the sex offender registry for life.
BY MARSHA LOW FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER
Justin Fawcett, whose name was among 22 penned in a 14-year-old girl's sex diary, was found dead in his bedroom Friday.
The Oakland County Medical Examiner's Office has yet to determine the cause of death, but David and Gayle Fawcett said their son died of a drug overdose.
Fawcett, 20, learned recently that his name would appear on the state's sex-offender list. His parents said they believe learning that he would live as a marked man came as a shock, and he faltered.
In May 2002, at age 18, Fawcett was one of four young men charged with statutory rape for having sex with a 14-year-old Andover High School student.
The girl's diary later revealed she had been sneaking out of her parents' Bloomfield Township home in the middle of the night to have oral and anal sex with 22 boys and men.
