In reply to Jacob. I agree there making rulings based on the false facts about recidivism and the registry . No court likes to be wrong in it opinion nor does it seems that it wants to know the real truth of it all. The truth hurts and so called smart people making decisions about your life don't like to be corrected even with undisputable facts. False, fake ,hateful information sales even in the minds of the courts.

I noticed to that registered persons are not the only ones that are unhappy with Alabamas judicial system. The SCOTUS will soon take up there decision to re-divide up districts in an effort to take away voting power from persons of color. The Supreme Court has Alabama in its cross hairs thanks to the efforts of ACLU. Hopefully they will discover the full extent of there biased political system.

In reply to JC. Ok I read it was a 3 judge panel, including (weirdly to me) a judge from the 7th circuit. Very depressing.

I believe I have initially misread about three judges from the 7th when it is only one, Judge Ripple, from the 7th. Ooops, my bad.

In reply to Derek W. Logue of OnceFallen.com. While true, a mark as compelled speech is just that, the mark is the least restrictive as the court sees it for those who are labeled as offenders. I'd like to see the predators issue taken on by the horns under the same compelled speech premise.

What was the vote? The 11th circuit is one of the worst for civil liberties.

In reply to Dennis.

I am the registry in Florida for the past 23 years. I have not lived in the state of Florida for the past 16 years of those years. As I am not required to update my info there they are currently showing false info for me as well as nearly 40,000 others.

What good it that doing the fine people of Florida? Protecting them from what exactly?

I will not be returning to Florida to march. I want Florida to let go of me as I have nothing to do with that state other than being listed on their inaccurate hit list (just like 40k of the 80k listed).

In reply to obvious answers.

“America loves its slavery and witch hunting”

America is obsessed with justice, punishment and “getting even.”

Spite and hate seems to be one of America’s shadow pastimes.

Just look no further than society’s twisted fixation with “true crime” porn. Just look how hat new “Dahmer” show is raking in millions for Netflix. Seems like America loves to be tantalized and partake in the “highlight reels” of unspeakable acts. This also explains why the registry is “popular” among the masses – it allows the curiosity seekers animosity to partake in the escapism value of being shocked, and afraid.

I’d also like to point out the court was wrong to rule the state ID marks are “moot.”

Yes, Alabama removed the scarlet “CRIMINAL SEX OFFENDER” marks from the front of the ID Card. But there is still a mark on the ID. As with FL (at least with those labeled as “offenders,” not those labeled as “predators”), there is a code on the card.

A mark is a mark, whether it be in bold scarlet letters or a code, or a symbol. If I posted the symbol that Prince used, most people would know what that symbol means. And anyone can go online and find info about the mark.
