Please notice: SMART stands for the Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering and Tracking. Folks this office has nothing to do with "Sentencing," Yet?7-27-2011 SMART Office:
UPDATE 7-29-2011 From another news article, as to how many are NOT in compliance: “We can’t say for sure at this point, we have packets arriving in droves,” said United States Department of Justice (DOJ) Spokeswoman Kara McCarthy. “It may take up to three months for us to go through all of the packets we have received.” .
The SMART Office has been quiet for some time on states coming into compliance. Personally I think this is a testament to states not wanting federal control over their legislature, but I could be wrong. However, what other reason would they use to STOP posting states coming into compliance? Maybe they don't want folks to know what a failure AWA is? Who knows.
But, the SMART Office has been posting a few new ones on their website "Newsroom" which cannot be accessed by its URL. Yes, I said cannot be accessed by its URL. What you must do is CLICK on their SITE INDEX, then CLICK on NEWSROOM.
Finally, as states are posted we will review them for compliance with the AWA portion that is relevant to the safety of registrants and their families. See here

SORNA Extensions Granted 8-2-2010
The federal government has spent millions of taxpayer dollars researching,devising,debating,analyzing,
ReplyDeleteimplimenting,and enforcing a FAILED policy. I can't begin to immagine the ammount of lawyers,psychologists,behavioral specialists, criminologists, just to name a few have spent countless hours in the massive over-litigated,clearly unconstitutional boondoggles called AWA,SORNA,SMART,SOR etc.,etc.,etc. All of that effort, and work, and MONEY!!And HOW MANY States are in compliance?? ELEVEN???? That's it??? Will our Government accept responsibility for this FLAWED policy???? I fully understand WHAT they were trying to accomplish.The safety of our children MUST be paramount.However, it was all done fueled by fear and emotion.New laws and stronger punishments added to existing laws are implimented on a daily basis....The objective of notification,regulation, and deterence could have been achieved using many different methods other than a PUBLIC registry.It should have been thought out and planned over a longer period of time. The Feds should have sought out input from the States, conducted alot more research,and kept the statutes criminal within the constitution. Any time someone has to devise laws and punishment, that are legally criminal in nature,and structure them to be presented as civil and regulatory, it should be recognized that serious flaws exist.
Hmmm.I believe "sentencing" is a JUDICIAL function. Perhaps someone should enlighten the DUMB, er,cough, I mean, SMART office about that and, that thing called "the separation of powers doctrine." No wonder this country is such a mess!
ReplyDeleteYou must have their attention if they are updating their website so soon after your articles are posted. Interesting. Keep up the great work, they just might learn a thing or two which would save beaucoup taxpayer dollars while keeping communities safer. What a concept! Again, keep up the great work. The "SMART" should hire you as a consultant.
ReplyDeleteEveryone should be informed that "SMART" Office is a deceptive acronym. There's nothing "smart" about what they're doing. Unless they are out-SMARTing the people. This is a waste of tax-payer money. The current sex offender registration and monitoring laws and practices are counterproductive and deceptive in that they provide a false sense that the politicians are protecting the public. It's a fraud against the American people.
ReplyDeleteI ask one simple question to the administrators of SMART. What has changed, with regards to the ammount of sex crimes being committed and our citizens actually being safer, since all of the laws, regulations, bills, and public registries have been implimented ?? And no making up stuff either!
