I don't understand how living on a barge is supposed to somehow avoid the sex offender's register, as someone who knows a whole lot about living on the waterways it seems to me like someone made that up.
Here's how it really works.
As a registered sex offender you are required to provide your residential address. If you don't you will be arrested and imprisoned for failing to do so. That address must be a RESIDENTIAL address so no commercial premises, no homeless, no living in the car or on a patch of wasteland.
Some "barges" are residential addresses, no different to a house except they're sat on water. If a sex offender had one of those as a residential address the only thing they're doing different to a sex offender in a house is they're on water. Some of this type of "barge" can't even move, around London many have been stuck in mud for a decade or more and technically not even floating any more.
Other "barges" are movable, many have people living on them. These fall into 2 categories, the first has a "home mooring" which is not registered for residential use and the second is what is called a "continuous cruiser" with no home mooring who keeps moving around the 3000 miles of canal network from one visitor mooring to the next. Neither of these has a home address which would serve to register for court bail or as a registered sex offender, anyone trying would simply be refused.
nice imagined tactic, but doesn't fit the reality on the ground (or water), the reality is that by living on a barge you would be more likely to be held in custody.
Anyone trying to use the waterways of London to get rid of kids bodies would also fail, busiest waterways in the country, tens of thousands of visitors a day in places.
The waterways have one of the most close knit and developed communities in Britain. Anyone looking to do wrong would soon find themselves watched everywhere they went, curtains would be twitching every time they slipped their moorings. A beautiful example of how safe and secure our waterways are is the fact that in the last 50 years there's only one "barge" ever been stolen that wasn't found later, anyone who wants to go reading canal enthusiast forums can see for themselves countrywide searches being carried out for missing boats and miscreants on boats.
There have been a few unsavoury characters lived on boats over the years, but they've all been well known to the community, everyone knows who to avoid and we tell everyone else who to avoid. Pretty sure any pedophiles would find themselves getting driven out of these tight knit communities or sunk.
There's community who happen to live in the same place and there's community with a common interest. The common interest makes the community even tighter knit, despite being spread across about 3600 miles of canals and rivers. I have people I would call "neighbour" whose moorings are 2 weeks or more travel from mine by water. Many of the boat dwellers are the descendants of the original working boaters whose families have lived on the water for 5 or 6 generations, others like myself are history enthusiasts concerned with restoration of historic vessels and the preservation of a very important piece of our industrial heritage.
Since ur into boats and law...whats ur take on the law of admiralty superimposed on our commonnlaw of rights...
The solution to the pedoempire lies in understanding how legally they gain claim over our name ..which represents title over our earth vessel..
There is a reason why the Normans had the flag of the red cross..when they invaded and r occupying the land that was once under common law of land..
They were funded by a separate entity..but definitely had the licence slip from Rome to set up a roman pirate shipping corporation ..that now functions as England.
All residences act as roman pirate bays..we reside roman property ..ie our name ..into the jurisdictiin of the pirate ship known as a country..running the acounting of Rome
I dont think even people in england undrstand the spells of the roman language known as english..
Would like to know r u aware of this side of the law
Admiralty law is a long long way removed from legal rights of navigation and use of the waterways. It seems to be used to crush our rights, but these days everything is being used to crush our rights, take our possessions, they've stopped using the law pretty much and now they just use force. Prime example being the unlawful theft of the vessel "Planet" from Liverpool, but I can give many other examples if I try.
I can know the law, but if the cop is nothing more than a criminal thug with a badge it doesn't help. Around here they're pretty much all criminal thugs with badges, pedophiles and sexual degenerates. upsd.co.uk

This is how it is in any normal community. Especially boaters.
