In reply to Will Bassler. Very informative. I agree with JR, treatment is never ending, even after completing 2 years of treatment.

Once I received within my Sentencing Court Ordered Counceling I was ordered to take a Lie Detector Test. I was asked about myself, my crime and sexual issues. I was never given the results. And they charged me for the test as well. Although not used as part of my trial, therapists use Lie Detection as well to surmise specific Therapy!

In reply to H. This isn't something that was being passed. Someone sued and won in court.

Does this mean we have any chance of something like this being passed for Florida?

with this decision and the treatment provider who reports information to parole officers or removes people from their programs because they stand for their constitutional rights could be charged with a violation of federal law USC title 18 section 241 “conspiracy against rights” denial of a person’s constitutional rights on any grounds outside of the courtroom (even the judiciary branch has constitutional restraints the punishments that they deal out ) with this decision it may be that it opens the door for anyone who has been expelled from treatment and had their probation or parole violated because of that may have grounds to sue the treatment provider and the PO and even bring criminal charges against them under title 18

How is it that being compelled to provide fingerprints and/or a DNA sample after an arrest or as part of sex offender compliance is not considered a violation of 5th amendment rights? Is it because law enforcement is TAKING them vs. the arrestee giving them? The purpose of these acts is to incriminate one for other crimes.

This is fantastic!

What circular logic these laws create and try to abide by.

Additionally, I’ve wondered to myself and on these posts that of the laws require counseling why do they not accept the results of completing the treatment? Or in some cases, never have an end to treatment? (I believe my treatment saved my life so I think the right program is a great thing)

Other states are definitely making progress in SO reform. Unfortunately, we live in Florida, one of, if not, the most regressive human and civil rights state(s) in the union.
