The holding of the Packingham case is clear. If you no longer have any court-imposed obligations (you’re off probation), you have the right to use social media. Just be sure that you report any online identifiers you may create in order to use social media. Being on the registry is not a sentencing obligation. That was the precise question before the court in the Packingham case.

Yes, there is an affiliate in Georgia. You can find them here: http://rsolgeorgia.org/

Sorry to learn about your difficulties finding housing. It’s a difficult issue throughout the nation.

Is there a group in the State of Georgia? Along with your article have you any findings with the regard with felons (esp. S.O.) has a subject of Housing for any felons? I am a minority, senior and have a disability. All housing has been denied towards me. Tried real estate home rentals in which all backround checks were denied. Property management companies, real estate companies with private property owners…DENIED!!! If on the registry; but no Probation…still Denied. I was told by a leasing agent to get my case expunged. The laws regarding felons and sex offender felons desperately need an overhaul. Many Amendments are violated so how do I get the STATE to pay for and locate for felons a neighborhood with housing for all felons and s.o.felons in order to feel safe from continuing prosecution after we paid our debt to society. I never realized how ugly society has gotten when your are marked. I would not mind moving to Europ but even that is still impossible unless expungement is granted to S.O. Felons.
