Damien, I couldn't have said it any better myself. They intend for registrants to be hounded out of society altogether by the public.  They can call vigilantism "collateral" or "unintended" consequences, but here and now I stand toe-to-toe with the politicians who pass these laws and call them filthy sorry liars to their very faces. The only real warning attached to using the registry as a means to inflict additional punishment upon offenders in TN is "The offender may not live at the address indicated."  In other words, you might get the wrong person.  The legislators are by far and large lawyers and have figured out they can put "civil" or "regulatory" on any additional punishment and the courts will wink, nod, and swallow that bull hook, line, and sinker.
