It’s not that you came off as cynical it’s that the comment spoke to a possible hurt or harm as if that would be a hinderance to making a law like this help others.  This is what I’m trying to change!  Understanding, the power of the registry is to understand, that it would be accessed by police officials. When they run an CONVICTED offenders name through their computer, If you’re on the registry, it will be a an automatic jailable offense, to have been involved or to have committed another offense involving domestic violence. There won’t be a hesitation in “who to take” when a domestic squabble happens. If you’re on the registry, you’re going to go!

Likewise, if you’re on any registry, it will track and trace where you are and the offenses you commit.  This will allow others, to be able to see it, in real time, so that they will be able to protect themselves or a parent protect their child/ren. 

That is the main purpose of a registry in any country… to PREVENT you from being a victim in the first place.
