Repeat offenders have put themselves beyond the pale, especially child molesters and sex offenders. For the good of the community they should be tagged, as well report weekly to the local Police. This is perhaps more caring and humane than a life in gaol, and the general public is protected.
As for civil libertarians they are smug , self-righteous pains in the posterior. We have such a one in Qld.I believe he is what is termed a 'criminal lawyer'(nothing wrong with that) It is my understanding that such a person uses a point of law - ei: "Was the arresting Officer wearing Police issue socks? No! then technically he was not in uniform so the arrest was illegal" ( I am not suggesting that this lawyer works outside the law)- This civil libertarian is letting crims loose into the community. So much for the civil liberties of the rest of us.

Numbat,you nailed it pretty well ,however some lawyers have the morality and discipline of a paedophile ,with the differential of lusting after money instead.

There is a balance between the rights of the sex offender, having done his time for his crime and protecting society - the recidivism rates of certain classes of sex offenders is enough to suggest the certain damage they will cause upon release is enough to guarantee they should be permanently tagged and monitored for the rest of their lives (and possibly dyed purple so we can all see them coming).

This is obviously another pro-choice article. The abortionists are saving some 100,000 little souls from pedophilia every year, in Australia alone. If only tagging was allowed by these nasty civil libertarians … things could be so much better.

Seeker: We kill, murder, slay and dispose of unwanted perfectly formed and completely healthy children by the thousands, to our shame. So no wonder, seeing the love we show the unborn, that deviates sexualy abuse those we allow to live for what ever reason. Regards, numbat

seeker - I fail to see what “pro-choice” has to do with imposing limits on the opportunity for paedophiles to inflict their abuse on children.

Pro-Choice, in the context of abortion, is about an individual woman exercising authority over her own body and her own bodily processes.

Pro-Life is about a group of control freaks demanding to subvert the sovereign rights of women - complete strangers - and force them to obey the demands of Pro-Life.

Tagging paedophiles is about protecting children from control freaks who would exploit them and force them to obey the demands of paedophiles.

It must be a long bow which you aim to make such claims seeker – maybe you could be more erudite in your explanation for making such a claim.
