Homeless Sex Offenders Must Move Again
Ever since the Julia Tuttle Causeway became an encampment for sex offenders more than a decade ago, officials have been trying to shoo the group away from the rest of civilization. Thanks to stringent requirements mandating that child predators live 2,500 feet from schools, parks, and daycare centers, the offenders have struggled to find legal housing, leaving many effectively homeless. For years, the roving offenders have been shuffled from one place to another, angering unlucky neighbors and nearby business owners.
After a 2017 New Times report about unsanitary living conditions at the group’s tent city near Hialeah, county commissioners booted the group. It split into smaller factions across the county; some members even left the state.
Now the county is preparing to break up a growing colony of sex offenders living on NW 48th Street in Brownsville. An official notice posted in the area says the state has declared the encampment a sanitary nuisance, and the county considers those living there to be in violation of Miami-Dade code. The county “will be forced to take appropriate enforcement action including, but not limited to, civil penalties and/or arrest” of those who do not vacate by June 20, the sign warns.

The sad saga of the “Sex Offender Shuffle” continues…..
Thanks for the advice diesel. I have been trying but have no way to get hold of him. He comes around every once in a while and I don’t know where his house is. I know only go there during curfew hours
Homeless offenders are more likely to be arrested for re-offending. For example, many of them live in the woods and use the bathroom there so say law enforcement walks into camp and an offender is relieving himself on a tree and said officer sees this, they have Probable cause for exposure and off he goes to jail and another charge.
That officer probably goes hunting with his buddies and while doing so, 100% sure they pee in the woods.
