The law passed in 2002 requires sex offenders to live at least 2,000 from schools and day care centers. The ICUL believes, and thus has filed a petition with the court that this law is unconstitutional. The director of ICLU says that the law is breaking up families, causing homelessness and is an enforcement nightmare for police.
Yes, we must do something about this law. So I have proposed some changes to it, that I feel will be profoundly fair to both sides of the situation.
I here by recommend these changes to be made, original in black- changes appearing in red.
692A.2A Residency restrictions -- child care facilities and schools.
1. For purposes of this section, "person" means a person who has committed a criminal offense against a minor, or an aggravated offense, sexually violent offense, or other relevant offense that involved a minor. Or a member of the ICLU, or Supportive of the ICUL
2. A person shall not reside within two hundred thousand feet of the real property comprising a public or nonpublic elementary or secondary school or a child care facility, or a home that has minors residing in it, minors visiting it, minors driving by it, minors thinking about someday perhaps going in the general direction of it.
3. A person who resides within two hundred thousand feet of the real property comprising a public or nonpublic elementary or secondary school, or a child care facility, commits an aggravated misdemeanor. Will be sentenced to life in prison
4. A person residing within two thousand feet of the real property comprising a public or nonpublic elementary or secondary school or a child care facility does not commit a violation of this section if any of the following apply:
a. The person is required to serve a sentence at a jail, prison, juvenile facility, or other correctional institution or facility. DELETE THIS PORTION
b. The person is subject to an order of commitment under chapter 229A.
c. The person has established a residence prior to July 1, 2002, or a school or child care facility is newly located on or after July 1, 2002. DELETE THIS PART COMPLETELY
d. The person is a minor or a ward under a guardianship. DELETE THIS PORTION
E. Is dead and has been properly buried in a cemetery and thus imposes no harm on society.
Oh yeah- I truly believe my revised version is WAAAAY better, and just look at it this way, the ICLU no longer has to worry about the poor sex offenders feeling all alone- because with the new law the SO and the ICLU can spend every minute of every day hugging each other and expressing their love, and how great it is to be sick freaks of nature. The ICUL can no longer complain about the law causing homelessness- after all they can all double up now. And as for splitting families up- well the SO can now also include the ICUL as family- so they've actually gained relatives. And best of all -Iowa Police will no longer have enforcement issues- because I can safely say 200,000 miles is way outta their jurisdiction.
