Should people who have been convicted of selling drugs be required to be listed in a drug offender database? Some of my readers are unaware of the percentage that has been locked up for this offense. There are a lot of different emotions about this because I have some people here that have once been in this situation and they are saying that they don’t know if we should have the database information. I’m telling them to put their self in my shoes and look at how are young kids are growing up in this community and the wrong influence can cause your child to become one of people who sell drugs. As a community we need to make a change starting now. We need this database to educate the community who are unaware of these problems in this community that why we need to get the city involved.
Do you think you have a right to know if your neighbors have been convicted and served a prison term for illicit drug activity at some time in their past? In my opinion yes, but there are people who believe they should not be listed in the database. I feel it is my right to know if my neighbor is a convicted drug dealer. It’s is my right to also know if my neighbor or community goers have served prison time for illegal drugs or have a past history of drug activities. There are several reasons for why I am for a drug offender database. My first reason, I am for the drug offender database because of my children. This is the main reason I would want to know if one of my neighbors was convicted of selling drugs, wouldn’t want them to try and influence my children we all know how easily it is to influence a child to do something. I think it’s important that if one of our neighbors is a drug dealer then everyone in the community should know who these people are. The safety of my children comes first and I also would like
