There seems to be no end to politicians finding new sexual dangers from which to protect us. An Illinois legislator has introduced a first-of-its-kind bill to require that individuals on the sex offense registry must register any drones they may own with the State Police. The legislator justified the restriction out of concern that individuals convicted of sex offenses might use drones to fly over swimming pools during the summer.
When Illinois politicians demonize those on the sex offense registry as incorrigible perverts, is it any wonder that genuine criminals see them as legitimate targets for the most extreme violence? A career criminal from Illinois broke into an abandoned home with the intent of surveilling a neighbor on the registry, and left a home-made bomb filled with shrapnel that he was intending to use on his victim.
