Busted In Bama

I can’t imagine a worse penalty for pedophiles and perverts than for them to walk into a redneck bar in the backwoods of Alabama, have the bartender card them and then suddenly the barkeep yells out, “Hey, y’all! Lookee what we got here ...” The rest of the evening shoud be quite ... entertaining.

Alabama’s New Sex Offender Law Now In Effect
_{TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - 1:15 pm CDT September 1, 2006}

A new state law went into effect Friday that requires all convicted adult sex offenders to have a special mark placed on their state driver’s licenses or non-driver identification cards. The mark will be visible to anyone who checks a person’s identification—from police officers to grocery store cashiers to clerks at video stores.

Any sex offender leaving prison or changing residences must get a new license that will bear the sex offender mark. Attorney General Troy King said convicted sex offenders who already have a license or identification card must get the mark when their current card expires.

A spokeswoman for the Alabama Department of Public Safety in Montgomery said the system to mark the driver’s licenses and ID cards is in place. She said at least two driver’s licenses were issued Thursday bearing the new mark.

Defense attorneys said the law classifies all sex offenders as deviants, no matter the nature of the crime. The law affects those convicted of almost every type of sex crime in Alabama code, from sexual contact with minors to indecent exposure.

The Alabama Legislature passed the new Sex Offender Notification Act requiring the marked driver’s licenses during a special session in July 2005. Failure to comply is a Class C felony crime.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
