Spotting a sex offender is now even easier, and now you’ll know who’s car to egg.

Yes, this is the best idea from lawmakers in a long time. Sex offenders are really the scumiest you can get. I’m sure people are gonna come here crying that this is embarassing to sex offenders, oh well. Don’t you think being the victim of a sex crime is a little worse? Yeah, thought so.
Story from Yahoo! News:
CINCINNATI (Reuters) – Lawmakers in Ohio said on Wednesday they want to force convicted sex offenders to use a fluorescent-green license plate on their cars so they can be easily identified.
A Republican and a Democrat in the state legislature in Columbus have joined forces to propose the law, which echoes measures in several U.S. states that require convicted drunken drivers to use a yellow, pink or red plate on their cars.
“The fluorescent-green license plate will make the most egregious sex offenders easily identifiable,” state Democratic Rep. Michael DeBose said in a statement.
Police said the green plates would allow them to track sex offenders, who are already required to register with the local sheriff’s office and are prohibited from living within 1,000 feet of a school.
“It will give Ohio families a great peace of mind knowing that their children will be able to recognize where this danger exists,” Summit County Sheriff Drew Alexander said.
Alexander joined the politicians at a news conference in Columbus, the state capital, to praise the proposed law.
Opponents of the proposed law argue the use of a special plate would stigmatize everyone who shared the offender’s car — including their spouse or children.
The proposed law will be debated in committee before a decision is made whether to put the proposal to a vote.

If we keep pushing sex offenders to the edges of society they will leave society that is refuse to register. These punitive measures only mean we are making society less safe. Most kids are molested by someone they know and someone never before caught. enough with the grandstanding by politicians

I don’t feel bad for them at all, you do the crime, you register. You know what you did, amd you have to face the world knowing you are a bad person. Honestly, they all need to be killed. I think it’s like a 98% chance of repeating the offense… Wanna make our kids more safe? Kill the sex offenders. They don’t deserve to live.

Excellent idea. Make them easy to spot and easy for kids to avoid.

maybe green is the wrong color to use. but, even if it was only for the known vilent offenders, there are still the unknown offenders.
