Now there's an idea

Lawmakers in Ohio said today they want to force convicted sex offenders to use a fluorescent-green license plate on their cars so they can be easily identified.

Brilliant, maybe we can have other colours for other criminals.

Of course opponents of the proposed law argue the use of a special plate would stigmatise everyone who shared the offender’s car — including their spouse or children.

Oh now there is a crying shame….NOT!

There are some down-sides, no-one would want lift from them, ever. The up-sides are that no-one would steal your car.

    You have a point this needs to stop. I cant have a normal life myself and FYI I am not a pedophile or a repeat offender. It has been over 7 years since my “crime”
    and while I wont excuse it nor do I ask others too. The simple truth is I lost my mind (I have A lonnng mental health history) and unfortunently I went in the direction of an SO and not say cuting myself or seing little green men. I spent over 3 years in the prison system
    (raped and assulted) and I spent almost 3 in a State Hospital in an Sexoffender Treatment program,passed with flying colors.Did I meantion I was a juvinile offender? What I am saying is this is a VERY grey subject despite what people want to make of it. The persecution needs to stop! What about a black SO who is legaly segragated aginst because of the no SO in 1000 ft BS,because that is what it is. Or with this OHIO stuff,not to far till they make us wear little yellow six-pointed stars everywhere.Sound Familler? Don’t think that won’t happen in the US, Hello puritan Scarlet letters, or try telling that to the 100000s of Japenese-Americans and others rounded up and put in interment camps in the U.S. during WWII. Bottom line be warned this can and will happen to you too. The laws with SOs set the legal presedent.

    We already have that system.

    For hard core thieves who can’t even be trusted behind the wheel we have special cars that drive them about with the first two letters of the word CRiminal on the number plate to identify them.

    What will they think of next?
    Sewing fluorescent green patches onto their jackets!

    And those people convicted of “freedom of thought” will have to sew teal “liberty flames” onto their clothing.

    Maori could sew a purple Kumara on their clothes and that would help give them special culturally appropriate medical care also free use of the Buses only lane during peak hour traffic.

    Makes a lot of sence!
