You explained it perfectly !!. Whoever thinks the “Registery” is NNON-Punitive is completely Blind and Crazy !!!. The “Registery” is worse than the sentence for the original crime !!!!. And YES, Anything that when not Followed, Would result in someone Being ARRESTED AND PUT IN PRISON, IS Punitive !!!!;. . The”Registery” is a a complete WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY !!! It does NOTHING to Protect Children and gives people a FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY !!!. ALSO, PEOPLE ON THE REGISTERY DON’T REOFFEND !!!. The “Registery” is just another way for States to get MONEY from the Government !!!.
