In reply to Nacho dad. Any unique identifier that you use to sign on to a social media website or application must be registered with your local sheriff. We recommend that you take a picture of the list as you turn it over to the deputy to have evidence that you did, in fact, submit your online identifiers. Be very careful on this. Law enforcement is locking citizens up for failing to provide these unique identifiers. We are studying the possibility of a challenge to this requirement in the near future.

Doesn’t matter much if Facebook cancels you anyway, eh? I have not resumed that page because corporate will check my email and cancel my site,
Online identifiers was explained to me only as email addresses. Do I need to submit all logins that are not simply the email address? Like this one?

I think it’s important to clarify that not everyone on court-ordered supervision is prohibited from using social media. I’m on probation (albeit from another state) and my probationary terms do not prohibit social media use. Many sexual offense sentences in NC come with prohibitions on social media use, however. If you are on parole, probation, or other supervision, review the terms of your supervision thoroughly. If there’s any doubt, then contact the officer(s) in charge of your supervision to verify.

Robin,

Thank you so much for all you do! I personally knew that the social media ban was no longer in effect nc for those off of paper, but I am sure there are many, many people who dont understand the court decision and/or are intimidated or bullied by law enforcement. This “claimed enforcement” by various LEO’s across the state is sickening and its truly sad when a certified letter has to be sent to a sheriff telling them their deputies are violating the law. There is no other group of people I can think of that are held to this level of accountability by LEO’s. (even ignoring a scotus court order) Im glad we have people like you who hold LEO’s accountable for what they do and I am glad you put the legislature on notice about further laws banning social media for rc’s. I have a feeling the LEO’s that are falsely telling rc’s they cant access social media are using it as a temporary crutch until the legislature convines next year. We will be ready for whatever law they try and pass in its place!

Go get them Robin!

It is very clear now the people’s intent with the SORS IS to act unconstitutionally! Another way the SOR is used wrongly is when the list is used to develop a list of “persons of interest” when persons come up missing. It cannot be in the public’s interest to investigate SOs who had no role in any given incident. Yet you and I both know it happens all too frequently, leaving the registrant feeling harassed for no reason. Whats more, law enforcement uses the list of known molesters to investigate kidnapping cases. While I am sure much overtime pay has been paid to law enforcement for such activities, it is more than a casual misuse of resources.
