Rep. Luckie proposes bill to monitor sex offenders
Rep. Clayton Luckie has introduced legislation to require GPS monitors for sex offenders who do not have permanent addresses, Luckie, D-Dayton, announced on Wednesday, Nov. 18.
House Bill 369 would apply to all Tier 3 sex offenders, considered the most violent, and require them to wear a global positioning device until they have a fixed address.
“This bill will allow law enforcement to keep better track of sex offenders,” Luckie said in a press release. “We cannot lose track of these offenders just because they are homeless. Using GPS to monitor their whereabouts is necessary to protect the citizens of Ohio.”
Luckie said that the attack of a nurse outside of Miami Valley Hospital by a sexual predator who was living under a railroad bridge near Patterson Boulevard underscored the need for the legislation.

First, please get your facts correct when posting; Sexual Offenders DO NOT have the highest rate of repeat; Burglars, check fraud, car thieves and swindlers; followed by abusers of drugs and alcohol. Most tier III offenders MOLESTED WITHIN THEIR FAMILY ~ Per Mr. Luckie’s secretary, Patrice; “He has not interest in speaking with the OHIO ROSL” regarding changes that could be implemented regarding the law and registry here in Ohio. Very few “sex offenders” actually “randomly” search for and find their victims. I find it disturbing he would support violating constitutional rights without gathering ALL the relevant info. http://www.reformsexoffenderlaws.org/groups/index.php#038

So I want everybody to be protected from the sex offenders, but who is going to pay for all this?

They should require ALL TIER 3 offenders to wear GPS. Look at Anthony Sowell in Cleveland. He had a fixed address meanwhile he raped and murdered 11 women. A fixed address is irrelevant, when these monsters are “triggered” and begin their cycles, they DO NOT stop until they offend. It is an internal drive they must feed; it’s worse than crack. They usually “feel guilty” but they continually reoffend. There is no suck thing as a one-time rapist.

Wait a minute!!! I thought that all felonies had to have an address and a job before they were released from prison. We can’t have these folks somewhere in Ohio or the USA and DON’T know where they live or work.
