Thanks for the Reply, I’ve been watching and waiting to see when this will be over,tired of the 11:00 pm Home checks by the police, and all the Stupid rules,the legislation can come up with….

John Doe, Please read our site regularly for updates and be sure you are signed up to receive our weekly updates. Just this week we wrote:

Also, affecting us directly; pending before the Federal Court in the Northern District of Florida are the parties Motions for Summary Judgment in the Internet Identifier case. A Motion for Summary Judgment is essentially a pleading to the Court stating that the other side doesn’t have a case and should lose. The filing of these motions is generally a matter of course and the Judge may grant one party’s Motion or deny both and wait until after trial to make their decision. You can read a copy of the Plaintiff’s Motion here: https://floridaactioncommittee.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Fl-Internet-Identifier-P-Summary-Jgmt.pdf (along with the expert’s declarations) and the Defendant’s (filed yesterday) here: https://floridaactioncommittee.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Fl-Internet-Identifier-D-Summary-Jgmt.pdf.

If you check in to our (we are FAC, not FCAT) website every day or so and read the emails we send out weekly, you should be updated.

I want to encourage you to do what’s right for Lewiston in regards to Sex Offender Residency Restrictions. Restricting where sex offenders can live is dangerous for these reasons.

1. We want them in our sight and in view of law enforcement and the community. Ever hear the phrase “keep your friends close and your enemies closer?”
2. We don’t want to prevent them from being able to live with family members or with those who will serve as support. Those people in their lives are our best protection against released felons.
3. We want to avoid forcing them into homelessness at all cost. A homeless sex offender is what makes our community dangerous. Designating where he sleeps at night does nothing. These people have cars correct? So unless where setting up 24/7 barricades, mandating where a sex offender can sleep at night as a means to protect the community is completely senseless.
4. We are assuming that these sex offender who are being let back into the community are not predatory, serial child rapists, correct? If that’s the kind of people we’re talking about, then we’re having the absolute wrong conversation in regards to where he sleeps at night.
5. Common sense says we need these folks busy, working, contributing to society and to never commit such a crime again – if we’re not careful we are going to make this an absolute impossibity for them and that is what is dangerous.

We trust you to make smart decisions which are best for our citizens especially regarding these hot button issues. That is the only image that matters!

Thank you for your good work!

what about the new internet identifier anything about that as months ago we were told to wait and FCAT could not say anything as to not let the state know whats going on. i would think if something was actually going to happen with it it would already have

Ricardo, I published an update on the Ex Post Facto lawsuit a couple months ago (https://floridaactioncommittee.org/legal-update-whats-going-ex-post-facto-suit/). We are waiting to see whether the Supreme Court picks up Snyder, because if they decide that case, many of our issues will already be decided for us by a court that has superior authority regardless. Within 2 months something will be in place regardless, as it’s moving forward – we just need to see which issues won’t be duplicitous.
