IMPORTANT UPDATE: Caution: Solicitations for “SORNA Compliance and Opinion Survey”
This morning we posted the below message. It didn’t take long for us to discover that the “PRIMARY INVESTIGATOR”, Christopher Duszka, Was (at least until recently) a Crime Intelligence Analyst for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement! (see: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-duszka-90738337)
WE ARE WARNING MEMBERS TO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS SURVEY!!! Who knows how the information you provide will be used against you by FDLE, who is the defendant in pending registration challenges. At least we know how this snake got everyone’s email addresses!!!
A number of our members have received emails concerning a “SORNA Compliance and Opinion Survey” conducted by someone at Southwestern College in Kansas.
FAC has no information on this “Survey”, but is very curious and concerned about how the survey organizers obtained the email addresses of individuals on the Florida registry. If anyone can simply access our personal email addresses for surveys, marketing, solicitations or any purpose, it’s concerning.
We will dig into this further and advise.

JEV is correct. An email is hearsay and inadmissible in court unless it falls within the narrow hearsay rules.
You can be prosecuted if you admit to filling out the survey and verify each and every answer. The survey without an admission is worthless in court.
The survey is most likely legitimate. I’m not recommending that anyone take because I really don’t know what it is or how the answers will be used.
If you filled out the survey, I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it. This most likely is a legitimate survey that the author didn’t put too much thought into how the answers could affect the respondents.
I don’t believe he was aware of Delgado v Swearingen or any other case. He became aware of the list as an analyst and most likely received it through a public record’s request. Most of these guys know little to nothing about FOIA. The judge in Delgado mentioned that no one has ever requested a list of registrant’s emails before and didn’t expect anyone to ever request a list in the future. This is why registrants are so shocked and doubly shocked by the incriminating questions.
So far, the most reliable research is overwhelmingly coming down on the side of registrants proving that the registry is unnecessary to further the state’s goals or interests. This research is essential in showing that the registry is unconstitutional. Read all of the research in the plaintiff’s briefs in the various cases in Michigan and you will understand the importance of this research and how we are winning with it. I encourage all registrants to participate in this research if they can, especially if that research is encouraged by NARSOL, FAC, ACSOL, Oncefallen or another reliable source.
The only reason I am recommending that registrants not take this survey is because it asks incriminating questions that can be used against registrants in court and I have yet to verify the veracity of this survey. If it didn’t ask incriminating questions I would be advising otherwise. If i don,t get this verification, I will be sending this college a certified letter seeking verification. Also, we need to have some type of guarantee that registrant’s responses are anonymous or their responses won’t be turned over to law enforcement in such a manner that individual registrants can’t be tied to specific responses.
My belief is that this is a legitimate survey done without the consequences of it’s answers taken into consideration. College professors are nerds, not legal scholars. Until our concerns are addressed, I recommend that no one take this survey.
