Letter skeleton

I am a resident of [county]. I oppose parole in case [number] / I support [bill number] because the conviction is for a sexual offense against a child. I am asking you to [one action]. I am not asking anyone to contact the defendant.

If a speaker starts naming addresses or telling the crowd to find someone, shut the mic off and leave.

This page does not publish a name list. A post may name a public registrant only if it copies the official registry text and adds no threat. Uncharged people are a police report, not a post.

• Source must be a district attorney, sheriff, attorney general, or court minute order.
• Headline uses “charged” until the source says convicted.
• No photos of minors. No victim names.
• Delete comments that add an address, a workplace, or a threat.

DPDRO means permanent incapacitation by lawful means only: life without parole where the statute allows it, Sexually Violent Predator civil commitment, and opposition to parole. It does not mean private punishment, surveillance, or confrontation.

1. 1. Use official registries only

   Citizens may look up people already on a public registry. Do not build a private list, map, or tip line. Not every registrant is posted. Penal Code 290.46 (opens in a new tab) decides who appears. Some entries show a home address, some ZIP only, some nothing. Verify on the official site before repeating anything. NSOPW conditions of use: any person who uses its information to threaten, intimidate, or harass any individual, including registrants or family members, may face criminal prosecution or civil liability. NSOPW conditions of use (opens in a new tab).

2. 2. The only authorized use of Megan's Law data

   Penal Code 290.46(j)(1): use information disclosed on the Megan's Law site only to protect a person at risk. That means tell a parent, guardian, or caregiver so they can supervise a child; share the official link; ask a school or youth program to check the official site; support a parole opposition or a civil-commitment filing through the lawful process. Penal Code 290.46(j)(2) prohibits use of that information, except as otherwise authorized by law, for health insurance, insurance, loans, credit, employment, education, scholarships or fellowships, housing or accommodations, and benefits, privileges, or services provided by any business establishment. Misuse can bring actual damages, up to three times actual damages, at least $250, attorney's fees, exemplary damages, or a civil penalty up to $25,000. The Attorney General, a district attorney, a city attorney, or an aggrieved person can sue to stop a pattern of misuse. Statute: Penal Code 290.46 (opens in a new tab).

3. 3. Crimes committed with registry information

   Penal Code 290.46(h) (opens in a new tab): using Megan's Law information to commit a misdemeanor adds a fine of not less than $10,000 and not more than $50,000. Using it to commit a felony adds a consecutive five-year prison term. Do not use a registry hit to vandalize a home, slash tires, egg a house, dox family members, get someone fired, get someone evicted, or organize a crowd at a door.

4. 4. Do not approach. Do not confront.

   There is no citizen right to question, follow, film at the door, or “have a talk” with a registrant. Stay off their property. Do not knock. Do not wait at the end of the driveway. Do not follow them to work, school, a store, or a bus stop. Do not message them. Do not tell their employer, landlord, or customers to act unless a specific law already authorizes that disclosure. Crossing the line: trespass, Penal Code 602 (opens in a new tab); assault and battery, Penal Code 240 (opens in a new tab) and 242 (opens in a new tab); criminal threats, Penal Code 422 (opens in a new tab); stalking, Penal Code 646.9 (opens in a new tab); civil stalking, Civil Code 1708.7 (opens in a new tab); civil harassment, Code of Civil Procedure 527.6 (opens in a new tab); incitement to riot, Penal Code 404.6 (opens in a new tab). If a child is in danger now, call 911. Do not intervene yourself.

5. 5. Protest rules

   Peaceful protest in a public forum is protected, subject to reasonable time, place, and manner rules. Protected: signs and chants on a sidewalk or in a park; calling for life sentences, SVP civil commitment, denial of parole, and enforcement of registration law; naming a person who is on the public registry if you stick to what the official site publishes and you do not add threats; handing out official links. Not protected: true threats, Counterman v. Colorado, 600 U.S. 66 (2023); incitement of imminent lawless action, Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969), and Penal Code 404.6 (opens in a new tab); targeted residential picketing; blocking a street, sidewalk, or driveway; weapons, nooses, or simulated corpses; unlawful assembly or failure to disperse, Penal Code 407 (opens in a new tab) to 409 (opens in a new tab); recording or posting a child's image. Before a rally, check the city permit rule, stay off private property, pick a public location that is not a registrant's front yard, and designate one person to call police if the crowd turns.

6. 6. What to do instead

   Search the official sites and send the link, not a homemade map. Report a suspected parole or probation violation to the parole agent, probation officer, or Riverside County Sheriff. Do not investigate it yourself. Oppose parole through CDCR victim services (opens in a new tab). Give facts you personally know about an SVP referral to the District Attorney. Do not publish facts that identify a victim. Child being harmed: 911. Online exploitation: CyberTipline, 1-800-843-5678. Riverside County Sheriff non-emergency dispatch can take a registry-related concern that is not an emergency. Penal Code 290.45 (opens in a new tab) community notification is a law-enforcement process. Members do not conduct it.
