Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
sex offender registration/megan's website
In 1978 I was convicted of L&L, did
time and am long since off any
probation. In 1996 I had to start
registering because of the Megan's
Law that went into effect, but have
never had my picture or info subject
to disclosure. UNTIL, this week, I
popped up on there. The local sheriffs
dept. told me they were not
responsible, and that I needed to
contact the Dept. of Justice. I want
to know if there is some new law in
effect I was not informed of, and if
this is a mistake how to get my face
removed - though living in a small
town, the damage has already been
done. thank you.

It has been done through motions to the court to reverse the requirement of registration. it is a long and expensive process. Contact me directly.
Re: sex offender registration/megan's website
It is not easy but it can be done, especially if the conviction is very old, like yours. It is worth investigating. For example, I was once able to remove someone from the website because upon closer investigation it turned out there was a mistake made as to the exact code section under which the person was convicted. Feel free to contact me.
