I would find it beneficial to know of any registered murderers, or drug-dealers in my neighborhood. Or thieves. Not just the sex-offenders. Is there anything unconstitutional or unethical about that?
Sometimes I think it would be a good idea....I sure would have liked to have known that there was someone two houses down from that they sent six police cars for that day.

I agree to an extent... while there is nothing circumstantial about a sex related offense (IMO), the other infractions can very circumstantial (motive-wise)... but if they are able to discern blatant infractions from ones that are not, your notion would be very sensible.
I feel two ways about it. Of course I am concerned about the safety of myself and my family. However, I am also concerned about our privacy as a society.
In addition, it seems odd to me that a society can say that someone has paid their debt and is safe to return to the general population...yet we still find it necessary to register them and/or otherwise curtail their rights. Felons can't vote or own guns...if they are that untrustworthy, why release them?
I hardly think felons share this opinion... in fact I know they don't.
What opinion? That they can't vote or own guns? That's law, not my opinion. That they are not trustworthy? Well, if they are prohibited by law from voting and owning guns, then someone must think they are untrustworthy.

I don't understand your reply.
Sorry, I was referring to the "why release them" comment.

If they are still dangerous, keep them locked up. If they are truly rehabilitated and can be safe, productive members of society, why register them or curtail their rights as citizens?

I agree with this. Forgive me for misinterpreting your standpoint.
