(90,061 posts)2. I agree, No on 35, the stringency of the laws is not the problem.
Enforcement of the laws is the problem.
And I don't like the violations of the 5th amendment it entails, etc., which I would hazard is also the ACLU's objection.

Buried in there is a provision that makes sex offenders (by no means all of whom are monsters like Jerry Sandusky) give their emails and usernames -- like their DU name! -- to Big Brother.
