The rules spell out how the untried process would work. It would largely treat a person placed on the civil registry the same way a convicted sex offender is treated under Ohio's so-called Megan's Law

What the freddie prince jr? That is horrible. So you can basically be treated as a sex offender, with out being one. This is known as "Pre-crime" treatment. What the hell is our society comming to, racial [read: racist] profiling, precausious accusation, delimited sentancing - where does it end? All this to make sure one does not potentially commit a crime. Is this considered democratic facism of sorts? I would simply call it gross entrapment.

Is this going too far? Can this even be justified? Your thoughts?
