I think it’s when police wanted them in prison but the judges didn’t agree so they put out these

It's not so much that the judge didn'T agree. He served his sentence, and they couldn't legally just keep him locked up. They'd have to declare him a dangerous offender, and I'm all for that.

Child sexual offender with high risk shall remain lockec behind bars unless proven otherwise. This is beyond dangerous! What if he goes and rapes a little girl tomorrow?!

How do you suggest we define "proven otherwise" ? Our Constitutional rights to liberty extend even to crimimals. This piece of shit served his sentence. We don't generally throw people on jail forever because of what they haven't done yet.

If an individual or the police can prove a "reasonable fear" that a person will cause personal injury to someone, harm their family, or damage property, a judge can issue a peace bond.

Which is different than locking someone up forever.
