34% of registrants are 60 years of age or older.

What is their future on the registry when chronic diseases, senility, dementia or Alzheimer’s set in? No nursing home wants them. They will either die in prison or on the streets.

This is a human rights issue that must be addressed.

Alan>> Their standing is that the person may have committed a crime before they left. I think there is or was a court case on this subject from someone who left the state. It’s worth a search.

JLV >> This is what I got back from FDLE about being removed from their registry. Hope it helps. I’m not an Attorney so I’m not giving legal advise just showing what I got back from them on the subject about being removed. Wish you the best in your fight. I’ll help best I can.
Florida Law controlled and Florida law requires you be listed as an offender on the registry for the duration of your life. The Florida lifetime requirement is subject to a provision in law that allows offenders to petition a Court for an order removing them from the registry. See Florida Statute Section 943.0435(11) Except as provided in s. 943.04354, a sexual offender shall maintain registration with the department for the duration of his or her life unless the sexual offender has received a full pardon or has had a conviction set aside in a postconviction proceeding for any offense that meets the criteria for classifying the person as a sexual offender for purposes of registration. However, a sexual offender shall be considered for removal of the requirement to register as a sexual offender only if the person:

(a)1. Has been lawfully released from confinement, supervision, or sanction, whichever is later, for at least 25 years and has not been arrested for any felony or misdemeanor offense since release, provided that the sexual offender’s requirement to register

My husband was convicted in Texas. Moved to Florida as I was active duty military. Completed probation and taken off the registry in 2020 but I’m
Told Florida will not remove him from the list. How is that even legal?

@CherokeeJack. That was very kind. I had no criminal history before I was sentenced and still do not.

I have however never gotten over what happened and constantly reminded every time I go to Florida or register.

Is great to have all this support on this blog.

Thank you !

Allen, thanks for the info. I will do a search, we can hope.

I LOVED the show for life. I cried after ever episode (I am a softy).
They said they were going to make another season of it but never did and I was pretty bummed about it. Odd thing is, there are people who get off who are actually guilty and then those who were wrongly convicted and go to their graves after dying in prison and were innocent.
All it takes it one person to lie on you. I took a polygraph once and the cop told me, if you pass, it means you are a good liar, and if you fail, it proves you are a bad liar. Thirdly, if you refuse the polygraph, you are a guilty coward. So either way he was calling me a liar. ( I passed by the way and still went to prison)

@Mac

Mac, you are not a felon, but if you were, you would be an “Ex-felon” unless you are still committing crimes. Felon suggests you are still doing the bad behavior.

Mac, you are not a sex offender but an “Ex-offender” same as above. People love labels though, especially the ones that make people depressed like Leper colonies back in the day. It is all great and good to banish those people, that is until those people become the ones who are labeled.

I have never tried to judge people but even less so after what happened to me. Most people look at the homeless with disgust and yell at them to get a job. Pretty hard to get a job when you do not even have an address.

Mac >> don’t quote me but I think there is a case pending about Florida leaving people on their registry after they have left the state.

A few weeks ago that John Doe was getting under my skin about “Tier Level” I was about ready to just give in an give these clowns an out with just removing me. But that is not Gods plan. I’ve been put in this position for a reason. I will not fight to have Megan’s Law found unconstitutional. That child gave her life as a soldier gives all to protect us. We built a foundation for a good sound law that was changed with mad anger to punish us for life because of someone else’s crime. After 25 years I finally was able to get them to put it in writing and I was shocked when I read their email. I hope to have some good news this coming week. If there is something of substance I will inform FAC to inform everyone on here. Back in 1995 I was willing to put my name on the challenge but was over ruled to use “John Doe” as it stood for any one of us. Then we used W.P. for We the People but wasn’t ripe. Artway jumped in but fled the state. Then we used E.B. for Everybody retroactive. The 3rd Circuit saw what they did but was not able to rule on anything past 9/13/1994. I’m surprised none of the 528 have not had any issues like me. But then this Sgt. here figured out I was a Megans law challenger an she was gonna punish me for it.

Saddles I’m getting to be expert, I know what I helped develop with challenges from the start of it. Every time I raised up about this local law enforcement would beat me down with intimidation an threats of arrest. I’ve even had the prosecutors office from New Jersey call down an tell them they are not allowed to be making it public an they were told “Our laws Constitutional we can” I’ve had several Attorney’s say for 4,500.00 I’ll will do an assessment. I went that route in 2005 an had the May 17th 1996 Federal Amendment push on me an was told it would cost me 100,000 and I wouldn’t get this past the 11th Circuit. I figure he was on their side cause right after that I took a bashing and my house was vandalized an the tires on my truck were slashed. If you ever watched the show “For Life” The Issac Wright story, well it actually takes place in the county I’m from an the same corrupt prosecutor who blew his brains out after a Nationwide manhunt. There is a whole lot more I just am lot able to say just yet but it’s gonna explode all over them.
