| The public may access information about us by going to a state website to be updated regularly that will tell them our:
name and known aliases,
age and sex,
physical description, including scars, marks and tattoos,
crimes resulting in registration,
community of residence and
zip code at time of last registration
A photograph is also often available for viewing.
The name and address of any employer of ours is excluded.
On or before July 1, 2010, the state Internet web site will include the date of your most recent conviction and the year of your last release from confinement, allowing the public to see for itself how long you have been back in the community trouble-free.
A registrant's residential address will be given only for those with prior or subsequent convictions.
Anyone required to register for an offense not listed above will be relieved of the duty to register upon obtaining a Certificate of Rehabilitation.
Anyone convicted for a felony under Cal. P.C. Sec. 243.4(a) or a misdemeanor under 657.6 who:
successfully completes probation
and is the victim's parent, stepparent, sibling or grandparent
and did not commit oral copulation or penetration
may file for exclusion from being listed on the state's internet site--but not the duty to continue registering.
Note: as of January 1, 2012, such a person will also have to have a low or moderate-low score on the state's risk assessment screening system described on the Registration Law page of this website..
Under the above circumstances, police may tell the entire community that you are present. I recommend that you tell people about your past yourself.
Just do it with an apology and tell them you respect their right not to associate with you, if that's how they feel after you've told them what you've got to say.
You'll be amazed at how forgiving Americans can be - if you trust them first.

CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTION
So long as we remain registered, every right given to any other person in the United States remains ours. U.S. Const. amend. XIV.
We have the right to sue, to seek protection by the police if we are in danger, and the right to have our voice heard by members of our government.
God Bless our Constitution. God Bless our legislators who revere it and our brave judges who uphold it. God bless America.
