I am a retired teacher and 79 years old I have sorrowfully a house in a subdivision with HOA Homeowner association. It seems they want to harass and discrimination me for example they wrote a letter to the court that 9 people are living in my house and they used my name for 3 people and other 3 people were those who rented the whole house many years ago from me. One time they told me that I can have one roommate to help me, because I am old, and my wife is not young too. Later they came to my house and inspect the house and I asked the roommate also should go. She went and only in my house are living my wife and me. I asked even to my family not to visit me, because HOA is against me, but as you see they harass and bother me and sent the page that 9 people are living in my house to the court, but because they have two ex0pensive attorney company the judge dismissed my case even the lie should be punishable by law, they said one day I should cut the trees which are 20 years old. I went to the municipality to ask if I can cut those trees which are over 20 years old. They said no you cannot cut healthy trees. I went to HOA for the situation what can I do. Instead of answering my question that the municipality is against cutting, they told me you are not welcome in the subdivision and the neighbors do not like you and in your house are living 9 people. I am just a retired teacher and have only 700 dollars per month as my salary so I cannot pay the attorneys to support me, and the judge wants attorney to handle the case. The HOA told also you are not from here and Iranian you must sell your house and go away, and they were very impolite to me. Is it my reward after 45 years to be teacher to handle like that? If you cannot pay attorneys, you have no rights and judge said attorney attorney when I wanted to explain my situation. They other and harass in any way they can, when day they say you should have jasmine instead of grass and the other day, they say I should have mulch between Jasmine and one day they say I should remove the mulch. I asked even the agent to sell my house because I see that no office is listening to me. I was persecuted in Iran, because of Christianity as I was also teacher in European and American schools. And here I have been persecuted because of my original nationality. What can I do. I also cut the trees and did whatever the HOA said, but that is not their goal they want to harass and bother me so much and make my life hell, because nobody support me or listen to my situation.]]></description>

We’ll see if we made a dent in two days...I think the senate will vote on Thursday as far as I can see...praying for a miracle! As somebody watching from out of state I can only hope that there’s as much turmoil over SB 1226 as the gun bill that just got passed.....realistically expecting a unanimous “yes” vote however...it will be a horrible injustice for those who have to live and adjust to these new sanctions]]></description>

I am looking for some information in regards to registry in Utah. It appears Some charges are not registrable charges. For example Sex Battery is defined to include a grope charge. It also is considered a misdemeanor and requires (4) counts to be a registrable offense. So if you moved from another state and your charge fits the definition in Utah’s code for Battery or even attempted s Battery (attempt might be even lower) and its 1ct not 4 would you still need to register? I read it as no. Also if you had a registrable charge would you be able to be removed after the 10 year rule even if the state you are coming from doesn’t have that. If Utah didn’t require registration and or you had been removed after 10 years are you still stuck under SORNA to register ?. If you didn’t have to register and or completed the 10 years and moved in the future to yet a different state would you be forced back to register? I am very interested in any feedback. Thanks]]></description>

No. See Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.040 and Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.514 (incorporated by reference into Fla. R. Crim. Pro. 3.040), the latter of which reads in pertinent part:

(a) Computing Time. The following rules apply in computing time periods specified in any rule of procedure, local rule, court order, or statute that does not specify a method of computing time.

...

(2) Period Stated in Hours. When the period is stated in hours

(A) begin counting immediately on the occurrence of the event that triggers the period;
(B) count every hour, including hours during intermediate Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays; and
(C) if the period would end on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, or during any period of time extended through an order of the chief justice under Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.205(a)(2)(B)(iv), the period continues to run until the same time on the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday and does not fall within any period of time extended through an order of the chief justice.]]></description>

Florida law states that if you enter FL and were convicted of a registerable offense in another state (regardless of your status in that State) you must register in FL (which is life for everyone) - in fact, most states are the same - unbelievable I know!  First time I heard that I was appalled but it is true.  Most people say if you are off the registry in one state don&#039;t leave (or make sure you know the registration laws where you are going) - how is it legal?  You tell me!
