A Quick Reminder About Using AI
We’ve seen a lot of our members posting comments that are clearly generated by AI so we felt it important to post this reminder. AI can be a great tool. A lot of us use it to help organize our thoughts, improve our writing, or explain complicated ideas. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with using AI as a tool to help you write a comment.
But before posting, please make sure what you’re posting is actually true and not hallucinated garbage. The same goes with statistics. If you are going to share statistics, make sure you cite to the source you are getting it from or it will be removed.
This week, the Eleventh Circuit summed it up perfectly in Akerlund et al. v. Atlas Air, Inc. after an attorney filed a brief full of made-up cases generated by AI, “Whatever the merits of artificial intelligence, it is no substitute for actual intelligence.” That lawyer didn’t just frustrate the court, screwed up his client’s appeal and ended up being referred to the Bar’s disciplinary committee.
Now, we’re obviously not a court, and the FAC forum isn’t a place for legal advice. But people do come here looking for information, and they trust what they read. That means we all have a responsibility to keep the information shared here accurate.
We love seeing members jump in, answer questions, and share what they’ve learned. That’s what makes this community so valuable. If you’re using AI to help write a comment, just do everyone a favor and spend a few extra minutes checking any cases, statutes, quotes, or “facts” before you post them. AI has a bad habit of sounding incredibly confident even when it’s completely wrong.
Lately, our moderators have been spending way too much time checking citations, verifying information, and deleting comments with AI-generated errors or completely made-up legal authorities. We’d much rather spend that time helping members and keeping the conversation moving. So by all means, use AI. Just don’t let AI do your thinking for you.
Thanks for helping keep FAC a place where people can count on the information being shared.

Speaking of A.I. issues, I see our least favorite politician has saddled up her one trick pony.
https://floridianpress.com/2026/07/lauren-book-pushes-more-protections-for-children-against-predators-in-world-of-a-i/
God she needs to go away
I agree that children need to be protected from online predators, AI-enabled scams, and sextortion. Those threats are real, and parents, law enforcement, and technology companies all have a role to play. But we can’t keep passing laws that focus only on punishment after the fact while ignoring prevention.
Parents need to be actively involved in what their children are doing online, especially during the ages highlighted in this article. Social media companies also need to take responsibility by enforcing meaningful age verification, preventing underage access to platforms that aren’t appropriate, and doing a much better job protecting children from predators, harmful content, manipulative algorithms, and propaganda promoted on their own platforms.
If Florida based its policies on evidence instead of emotion, we’d have stronger protections where they matter most. Real child safety starts with prevention, education, parental involvement, and holding technology companies accountable not simply creating more criminal laws after the damage is already done.
I just tried to leave two comments to the article you posted. Both deleted by the moderator. I stated the facts as I have shared here. You know when a media is owned by the demons because they only publish the lies and censor truth.
So then I posted a direct message to the moderator. I wonder if it’s someone that works for the scummy rag or the author who appears to be young and most likely owned and brainwashed, a product of the government’s mindcontrol “education” system. He has that scratchy creepy vibe.
Homeschool your children!!! Brianna Ladapo, wife of our Surgeon General, says public schools are dangerous for children. I shared all three parts in full text in emails to the dirtbags in Tallahassee. No replies, of course.🤦🏼♀️
This reply was supposed to address Derek.
Here is some factual research….

“Of course, violent, hands-on sex offenses are egregious and should be addressed appropriately, and there is no greater cause than that of safeguarding our children, but the “moral panic” has taken our laws and punitive measures far beyond this category of criminality – it has destroyed the lives of many non-violent individuals whose “thought crime” was comprised of little more than a preoccupation or fantasy.”

German Court Grants Protection to Florida Sex Offender Registrant on Human Rights Grounds…
“His situation in the U.S. is no different than that of jews in Germany in the 1930s”…
https://floridaactioncommittee.org/german-court-grants-protection-to-florida-sex-offender-registrant-on-human-rights-grounds/
I’m glad you’re posting this. I’ve been following this case for over a decade, along with FAC. I’ve also been in contact with the German attorneys who helped that gentleman.
His situation was largely based on a technical registration issue. It’s important to be careful when discussing this path because Germany did not grant him asylum. Instead, they determined he was not a danger to society and that he could support himself through employment, which was a key factor in his case.
It’s also worth noting that relocating to Germany is expensive. You need to be financially able to support yourself. Getting into Germany may be possible, but living there is another matter. Even with my military retirement, I couldn’t afford the cost of living there.
That said, I think this case is important because it highlights the realities many registrants face. The German researchers did extensive work, including sending people from Germany to study Florida’s laws firsthand. Their report concluded that some aspects of Florida’s treatment of registrants were comparable to the early stages of discrimination seen in Germany during 1933–1935. That comparison came from their report several years ago imagine now
You’re welcome😉
I’m gonna share some of my religious boarding school experience as an example of what kind of people become politicians to control others for self-benefit and to push their wackadoodle personal agendas besides the bribery of scummy lobbyists.
I was put in an SDA church school in 3rd grade. Was in the system through college. My junior and senior high school years I was sent to one of their boarding schools.
There was a rule for boys banning traditional neck ties with points at the end. Neckties had to have a flat square end. The wacky logic was that it pointed to the male appendage of the boys. They said the pointed tie made the girls look at their man part and think about sex.
Open-toed shoes were prohibited for girls. No open-toed dress shoes, sandals or flip flops.
They said it made boys think about baby toes and that made them think about sex.
The year after I graduated, some new rules were imposed. One of them was that girls could no longer wear jeans or any pants that had pockets on the rear cheeks. They said it made the cheeks too sexy and boys wanted to put their hands in the pockets. It’s a good thing I had just graduated because my parents would have flipped their nut over having to replace all my jeans.
I was put in a religious education institution because they wanted to protect me from the goings on at public school…drugs, sex and rock n roll. Even though my dad was an Elvis fanatic which drove his own dad bonkers, his rock n roll was ok. Mine wasn’t.
What they didn’t know is that it was even more prevalent at the boarding school. All the stupid, lunatic rules they could CONjure and yet the bigger things they could not control. Didn’t matter that it was a co-ed school. That wouldn’t have stopped the lesbians. Or the Ouija boards.
Some of the guys had stashes of porn mags. Beer got snuck into the boys dorm. They played Dungeons & Dragons. Weed and drugs weren’t hard to get. And then there was the prank on new students called “circle jerk”. Some of you guys may know what that’s all about. Today they could’ve all ended up on the registry.
Man…I miss the 70’s.🥰
Things like this have always been and always will be no matter what legal fictions they make to be broken for their profit. If their sick twisted opportunistic minds can think it and figure out how to monetize it, they’ll find a way to use it to their benefit and our detriment. They see us only as dollar signs.
What they’ve done to our autistic son is unforgivable. It has been epically damaging and traumatizing to both him and us. And I’m one of the most forgiving people you could meet. But evil can’t be forgiven.
The only forgiveness they would be worthy of receiving is if they undo all the terrorism and terminate it and stop constantly throwing stumbling blocks at us. And compensate everyone for the losses they caused.
Until then, I pray constantly to Karma to visit each and every one of them and give them what they’ve earned and brought upon their own souls. They know who they are and so does Karma.
I’m a father to an autistic son who is almost 12 years old. I love him more than anything, and he’s one of the biggest reasons I continue speaking out and fighting for change. I believe Florida needs to show more legal compassion and recognize the realities faced by families raising children with cognitive disabilities.
Being on the registry has made raising my son far more difficult than it should be. His mother has unfortunately used my registry status against me when I’ve stood up for my parental rights in court. I’ve also lived with years of being called names and judged by people who don’t know me. Being labeled a “pedophile” and having my name dragged through the mud has been part of my reality.
The truth is, I don’t have much of a family support system. My mother and father have both passed away. All of my grandparents are gone. The aunt who legally adopted me when I was 14 is now very ill, and I’ve never told her about my arrest or that I’m on the registry because I never wanted to burden her with that pain. Today, my family is my wife and my children.
If I’m ever arrested, I don’t have parents or siblings to call. I call my wife. She doesn’t work, so years ago I made sure we had a plan. I built a relationship with a local bail bondsman who is an Army veteran, and his son now runs the business. One thing I learned from the biker community is to build those relationships before you ever need them. I even have the title to one of my vehicles on file as collateral. If something happens to me, my wife already knows exactly who to call and what to do.
The last time I was arrested, I signed my own bond, and a close family friend covered the remaining amount until I could repay her. That wasn’t luck. It was a friendship built over years of trust, respect, and helping one another. Today, she has become an advocate for the rights of people forced to register.
I’ve also made lifelong friends while incarcerated. Most of them aren’t wealthy, but they’re good people. I built those friendships by helping repair their vehicles, which has been my profession for years. I’ve always believed that if you have the ability to help someone, you should.
This is the reality for many people in the justice system who don’t have parents, siblings, or a safety net. Sometimes you survive because of the relationships you’ve built through honesty, kindness, loyalty, and helping others without expecting anything in return.
People often say money makes the world go around. I’ve learned that trust does too. When you’re alone, planning ahead and building genuine relationships can make all the difference between facing life’s hardest moments with support or facing them completely by yourself. Never neen late on child support, but constantly honded by my ex and called names too
If you want to know what we are truly battling right now on federal to state lever go read my current lost in off topic post section A Deep Dive into SORNA Enforcement Grants: How Federal Funding Drives Compliance Operations
Show how federal pretty much punishes states by not providing funding if they do not fain compliance
Florida goes well beyond Federal SORNA standards and could eliminate portions of its registration laws without jeopardizing its Byrne JAG grants. But the majority (32) of states have chosen to forego the full grant amounts and remain non-compliant.
Yes but shows the national fight and challenge also what Federal is trying ti push on those 32 states
Those 32 states have reasonable and spiritually connected people making decisions. We have all the lunatics.
Maybe they’re a lot more aware of the what goes around comes back around fact. Maybe they’re fully aware that those legal fictions can and will come back to bite them on the butt.
Florida received most of the nazis that came to America in Operation Paperclip. Do your research. They camped in Melbourne on what is now the municipal golf course. A history teacher there explained it all to us at a random meet at the beach. We shared research links. Very educational.
So that explains why Florida’s registry is the same persecution as what the nazis did to jews in the 1930’s. The court in Germany knew, that granted protection to the FL registrant that fled Florida and formally free America. That was their trial run for what they’re doing now.
Does anyone know if Montana is a good state for people forced to register?
I’ve been wondering how it works for FL registrants to move to other states. Do they have to come back twice a year to report to the goon squad?
What a massive farce is this bs registry idiocy.
If you move to Montana, you are generally required to register in person with your local law enforcement agency within 3 business days of establishing residency or if you remain in the state for a temporary stay that exceeds 10 days.
Registration Requirements
Register within 3 business daysof moving or qualifying to register.
Register with your local county sheriff’s office or local police department where you reside.
Be prepared to provide your residential address, employment information, and school information if applicable.
Registration Duration by Risk Level
Level 1 (Low Risk): Minimum registration period of 10 years
Level 2 (Moderate Risk): Registration period of 25 years.
Level 3 (High Risk): Registration is generally for life.
Under Montana law, many individuals convicted of qualifying sexual offenses are required to remain on the registry for life, depending on the offense and applicable statutes.
My offense based on this is tier 1 this state similar to Colorado
Now be careful for local ordinances always look them up. My wife and I love Colorado and little unknown fact maybe consider a US territory. Have friends there and they follow federal. My offense I would just report to local authorities once a year the police and that is it. Verified from call local registration office in Guam and yes Virgin Islands.
And boom you got it operation paperclip. Most gained citizenship and mass money thru the aviation/space corridor. They are embedded down here. Not from here but eye opening I worked aviation both sides coast and you hear about it. Moving to florida I’ve seen it first hand

I have found that AI assisted research ends up being full of factual errors. If anyone is going to write a research paper, use your brain, not a computer program that lost a chess game to an Atari 2600.
AI can be be good or evil according to the perimeters it is given.
Don’t forget that a single word or prefix can change the meaning of a ruling.
A court case that used redacted certain words in a brief can be a 180 degree flip.
If the AI is instructed to redact like the prefix “il” or remove the “not,” “and,” “or” it will.
A deputy sheriff was not justified in his warrantless search of the car he stop for a traffic stop.
Everything he took as evidence was “fruit of the poisonous tree.”
In court he claimed he had the right as an officer to search without any warrant and cited a case in quotes. The judge pulled that case up and told the deputy that he can not change law by redacting key binding words.
The main one the 4 part test for a search under cause. He replaced “and” with “or” making it for any one element to allow the search. All 4 elements were required
I could honestly coach people on AI “vibe coding.” It’s a lot of fun, but it’s also surprisingly difficult to keep your own opinions and biases out of the conversation—especially when you’re asking open-ended questions.
Some people use AI to plan vacations, trips, or even guide their everyday lives. That’s their choice, but it’s not how I use it.
I use AI for work, research, learning, and gathering information. I find the best results come from asking open-ended questions, challenging assumptions, and looking at multiple perspectives instead of seeking validation for one viewpoint.
AI is an incredible tool, but like any tool, the quality of what you get depends on how you use it. I’m always happy to help teach others how to ask better questions, get better information, and use AI more effectively.
