San Jose Strip Clubs: Cops work to keep tabs on sex offenders
During 290 sweeps, said Wylie, “Our goal is to find people who are violating … requirements.”
Wylie said Mountain View police, and sometimes county authorities, will target registrants who are new to the city, on parole or probation, or who are seemingly at higher risk for a repeat offense.
She said those on parole or probation are subject to search, so officers will look through residences to ensure the registrant is actually living where he says. They search for tooth brushes or extra sets of clothing, for example.
“What sex offenders try to do is they’ll give us a false address for their registration,” she said. “They try to get us to not monitor them.”
Many are not allowed to have alcohol or pornography of any kind, due to parole or probation requirements. Some are restricted from visiting adult shops or strip clubs.
