this is a great idea but the problem is that they will just use someone else's car. i saw an example of this,  a man had a truck with yellow dui plates, but it sat in his driveway all the time while he used someone else;s car to run around in.  so how to monitor that?????

MY QUESTION IS WHAT COLOR WILL THE PLATES BE IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THE DUI PLATES & GET TAGGED AS A SEX OFFENDER TOO? THIS STATE IS RUN BY MORONS,IT SEEMS THE CRIMINALS ARE JUST AS SMART AS THE ONES RUNNING OHIO.GO FIGURE.

But could you imagine the roadrage for some who see the sex offenders plates?! Then decide to take matters into their own hands and other lives could be effected. I mean some are labeled sex offender because he/she was 18 she/he was 17 and possibily broke up and now the one is mad and wants to get even. While I'm not condoning teen sex it does happen.

And who is going to end up paying for these plates in the long run? WE ARE! With even higher prices when we get our plates or tags. Way to go Ohio.

As for as paying for the plates, the offenders do. It is one of the conditions of being able to drive. If I read it right, these plates are to used with only the most serious offenders. If this is the case, I have no problem with it because history shows these people never rehabilitate, and it would allow people around them to know a habitual offender is among them. However, these plates are of no use if they aren't on the car they're using, just as an ankle monitor is of no use if there is no IMMEDIATE reponse to a person violating their conditions of release.

Thank You Bigguy for the info! I haven't really read alot about this so I guess maybe I shouldn't have posted what I did. I just figured if they have to keep making all these different color plates we'd probably end up paying with higher prices for our own.

I still think it would be scary if someone decided to take matters into their own hands on a highway where so many other innocent people could end up in the crossfire of someones rage.

I would agree. With all the nut jobs out there, chances are there are going to be people who will take matters into their own hands.

How is this fair? I thought the whole point of putting someone in jail or prison is so they can be rehabilitated? If they feel the need to single someone out with these plates then maybe the government should look into the prison systems and reevaluate the programs they do have to help these people. Besides there are people that will get angry and cause an accident because they become enraged and go after someone.

This isn't about fairness. It's about reality. Look at the stats, sexual predators do not rehabilitate. I'm not talking about all sex offenders, I'm talking about predators. Repeat offenders. That is why there are laws prohibiting them from living in certain areas, away from possible prey, or at least make them a little less accessible. The public has the right to know who these repeat offenders are, beause they will do it again. Just read the paper. It happens over and over again.

I also agree that the true sexual predators cannot be rehabilitated. There for I feel they are one of the prefect examples for the death penalty.

Green for sex offenders
Yellow for drunks
Purple for drug addicts
Blue for non child support payers
Orange for attempted murderers
Red for child abusers

Whats next?

Who will remember what colors for what if these hairbrained ideas continue.

People have paid their time, if they didn't learn from that and do it again, then really throw the book at them so they aren't in public and no plea bargans and paroles.

This way we won't go color crazy trying to remember all this nonsense.

I think with most crimes people do pay their time. But it's a fact that pedophiles can't be rehabilitated. They served time but it doesn't mean they won't do it again. I would rather see a tatoo on their cheek. Children need to be protected. It isn't a joke or something to take lightly. If we could magically identify child molestors I think we would see them in situations where children were in danger. If they were identified in public, they would think twice about hanging out at schools or places where children are. That is a crime that should never show any mercy to the criminal.

OK Smoker,although extreme, your point is valid. We can't lable everyone, or keep track of them all, nor should we. But relistically, sexually oriented offenders are a different breed. Especially child molesters, with whom most of this is particularly targeted. These people prey on the least infomed and most trusting of the populace..children. Most of these people do thier time, and do it again. The plates are a warning, not a deterrent. If and when they commit their crimes again, the book is usually thrown at them. I agree with no pleading out. They need the maximum.

I don't see the point of the plates either. What if they don't drive a car? How bout the ones who haven't been caught? The point is people are trying to find a false safe system and that can't be.

I agree with the other poster if you label someone with this plate whose to say someone won't try to run them off the road and cause accidents.

The whole plate thing never made sense to me. Personally the second time someone commits a sexual crime they should get prison for life or have some kind of half way house kind of thing.

How about people know where their kids are? What they are doing and whom they are doing it with? Shouldn't parents take some kind of responsibility when this happens? A lot of parents don't even know where their kids are!! They let them run around like wild animals.

Bring back the "chain gang" concept. Let them be doing something, instead of sitting in an air conditioned building doing nothing. That is after they are "fixed".

Bam - why is it that the parents are continually blamed for these criminals' actions? I cannot understand this concept. I am a parent and I ALWAYS know where my child is, but I cannot always be there to watch over her. Perfect example - coming home from school. Many kids walk home either from school or a bus stop. It only has to be a block away for a sex offender to grab a child to commit his/her crime. Why should I, as a parent, be held responsible for this person's actions? I KNOW my child is on her way home from school or I KNOW my child is a block down the street at a friend's house, so I am to be blamed for some nut case targeting my child?

Basically you are saying that parents should never allow their children to go anywhere or do anything because if a child is sexually abducted, then it's the parents' blame. And where is the fairness to the children in not being able to visit a friend's house down the street or to walk home from school because someone may grab them up? I just get sick and tired of people always blaming parents for the actions of these criminals out there.

I agree with Lady Rodeo. I can go one further with the "fixed" department. Make it slow and painful - potato peeler!

I think this is a throwback to the public stocks in Salem during the Pilgrim days in the 16th century.

Public humiliation is unconstitutional, as I see it, as cruel and unusual.

why dont you remember that when it is your child sitting on the witness stand saying what god awful things this freak did to them. It's a shame we have to teach our children about things that go on in this world to keep them safe.
