When exactly does it start being "cruel and unusual" punishment?

Some of you have no doubt heard me rant about the overkill of the way most places treat registered sex offenders.

Well, I just encountered a new one. A friend of mine is one (and no, I thought these things were wrong before I ever met said person).

My friend now has 45 days to move because a neighbor just got approved for a day care center. Lord only knows where my and the person sharing the house with her are , going to get the money to move, much less do first & last month's rent, etc.

Explain to me again how this and all the other BS is *not* extra punishment over and above the sentence passed by the court?

And it's not as if my friend is even *capable* of repeating the offense (physically capable).

And my friend, if you read this, *don't* out yourself.
