Does a certificate of relief from civil disabilities which relieves an individual of any disabilities or forfeitures or restrictions on their ability to exercise any right, imposed by law by virtue of their conviction, relieve a sex offender from all civil disabilities including residency restrictions?
I live in New York State and read the law regarding these certificates of which I received one relieving me of ALL civil disabilities.
For example laws might have been or might be issued restricting where a sex offender can live or work or whether they can enter state parks or whether they can be given custody of their children in custody cases or etc.
These disabilities are civil in nature and are imposed automatically merely based upon conviction of certain crimes and are not part of my probation conditions. A person not convicted of these types of crimes would ordinarily have the right to live and work and physically move wherever they wished (as long as they didn't trespass).
First let me say that I am no pervert and haven't harmed any person in any way however someone emailed me child pornography some time ago, which I did not request and I deleted it and upon sending my computer to a repair shop the police were informed and I was charged with a felony. I got probation and was issued the complete certificate immediately at sentencing.
Thank You
