When a Sex Offender Comes to Visit
Information for Sex Offenders
A new study by Shawn M. Rolfe, Doctoral candidate at the University of Louisville, helps identify some of the requirements each individual state has when a registered sex offender travels there.
A chart contained in the study provides a useful reference.
I am traveling in 3 weeks to Florida. I have PSL in NJ. I did 1 month with a public defender at 20 due to the circumstances. Everything was based on a lie but back then I took the easy way out pleading not knowing any better. I am not registered on the online registry. I was told when I visit Florida, which I have permission to, my name will all of a sudden pop up online. Is that true?
If you are a registered sex offender from another state. DO NOT VISIT FLORIDA. Even if you arr not required to be published on your home state’s sex offender website FLORIDA WILL publish you on theirs FOREVER. This will in turn be found on a background check when applying for a new job. DO NOT VISIT FLORIDA!!! Or it will screw you from getting a job ANYWHERE!
You’re 100% right I don’t know how they can call temporary housing and keep you on the registry for life. I was on the registry in Utah from 2007 to 2013 in which time I visited Florida and stayed in an Airbnb was required by Utah to check in, so I did not knowing that Florida would keep me on there for life. I’ve tried to fight it and I want to look into the ACLU because it feels like double Jeopardy. Clearly it feels like a violation of our civil rights.
How the hell? How are they going to know you were there for more than 3 days? Are they going to follow you? Are you wearing an ankle monitor? My question, is it three calendar days or is it three business days? Because what if you arrive on Friday and Monday is a holiday?
I received my passport with the endorsement(mark) on the front page instead of last page. Do you guys think it will prevent me to travel to European countries such as Germany and France? The mark can be clearly visible. Also does 21 day notice trigger alert for each country that I visit? For example, if my intended travel is Europe but once I get there and change my plan after a few days and want to travel to Asia, how do I notify My local jurisdiction(local police) in US? Because it says I have to provide each destination country when submitting 21 day notice if it is intended travel but I do not know Asia is my intended travel until I get to Europe. If I fly from Europe, is that a IML violation and I will be questioned when I get back to US? Does US send notification to all the countries or only the destination countries for my travel? Does scanning the passport trigger alert regardless of which countryI visit?
Please advice
I’m hoping someone can tell me the requirements of Florida law as to previously registered citizens from a different state…
I was put on the Pa. registry in 2012 due to Pa adopting sorna.
I was on probation at the time for a misdemeanor 3 invasion of privacy.
The registry was not part of my sentence (only probation for 3years).
I fought for two years and was taken off due to the state unconstitutionally adding to my sentence (sorna, registry).
So I would like to visit Florida in the future for vacations- can I do that for any period of time due to having been on a registry?
Can I visit with a misdemeanor 3 (lowest of misdemeanors) on my record and NOT have to worry about the Florida registry?
Thank you all in advance.
