    Criminals do not keep all their constitutional rights, when they are incarcerated they are not free to move about or posses many things. Felons on probation are not allowed to associate with other felons.

      And after they have been released from incarceration, I treat them as still posessing every and all constituional rights.

        How you treat them doesn’t change that they’ve lost rights expressly enumerated in the constitution.

          I will never report any person I know if they do something that is within the consitution but has a criminal conviction, there is no crime. If a convict has a gun, I ignore the law and treat them as being within their rights if the gun is currently being used in a criminal matter.
