Megan’s Law is unfair to the lives of sex offenders.This law is a major invasion of privacy, which does not let sex offenders live a normal life.

Anyone could go online and obtain names, pictures, profiles and addresses from sex offenders in California.

On meganslaw.com, for a low monthly fee of $10, the Web site will send information and updates directly to the subscriber’s e-mail address.

The sex offenders have no privacy because anybody can access their information through the Internet.

This allows people who are outraged about the crime to easily find the sex offenders. The sex offenders are left as an open target to any California citizen with Internet access.

Some of the individuals on this Web site have not been charged or convicted of the crime.

This means if a person accuses someone of a sex offense, Megan’s Law states you are automatically supposed to have a profile online.

Meganslaw.ca.gov shows that most sex offenders are related to or have known the victim for a long time.

Studies also show that most sex offenders do not act impulsively; in fact, they plan the assault.

Most sex offenders would prefer to target people they know and who they are close to.

There is also a possibility that the offenders were wrongfully accused. If that is the case, this law could cause an entire neighborhood to overreact over somebody who is innocent.

If the accused sex offenders are acquitted of all their charges, then they have to live with the fact that their neighbors think they are sex offenders.

There is a loophole in this law, which allows people acquitted of sexual offenses to remain accessible to the entire public via the Web site.

Subscribers receive an update, but it does not say if the individual’s profile will be removed.

Meganslaw.com does not show or say if it will take off the profile of anybody who has been proven innocent.

If subscribers get updates from the Web site, this means the person’s profile is still going to be online and available for others to search.

When first going on the Web site, it gives you a warning at the bottom saying, “Not all sex offenders have been caught and convicted.”

Until this site is fixed and flawless, I am against this law.

This law can ruin innocent lives and destroy the privacy of innocent sex offenders.

It is wrong to know where these people live and to even know whom they are until they are found guilty of the crime.

Even after being convicted, the public should only know so much about the person.

This law will never allow these lives to be the same again.

There is nothing worse than someone losing their privacy.

This causes paranoia for the convicted sex offenders and the accused who have not been convicted yet.

Knowing that everyone in the city could read their profile might cause their mental state to get worse.

And for the innocent people on the Web site, they should not have a profile listed to begin with.

Having a profile online is just bad news; www.meganslaw.ca.gov does not state the mental condition of the sex offenders or the accused.

They all have the right to have privacy and if they served time in jail that is punishing enough.

Megan’s Law also profiles these sex offenders and the accused. If someone gets accused once, the Web site pretty much assumes they will do it again.

Why not profile everyone who has ever committed a crime? If the assumption of Megan’s Law is true, they will probably do it again.

It is not worth destroying the privacy of the accused or even sex offenders because privacy is something which is important to everyone.
