2008As to appellant’s first argument, the State responds that “by agreeing to be evaluated by the Department of Parole and Probation to determine his status as a sexual predator, [appellant] implicitly agreed to the registration requirement if recommended to do so as a result of the evaluation.” In the alternative, the State avers that “because the order to register is not punitive,” pursuant to Young v. State, 370 Md. 686 , 806 A.2d 233 (2002), the “court’s order in this instance was collateral to [appellant’s] plea agreement and does not violate the terms of his agreement.” With regard to appell
