In reply to Florida Action Committee. The version of my papers (2018) refers to 3 days or more for a temporary or transient address… What is the correct number?

In reply to Tired Of Being Mistreated. Move to another state. Wait the minimum time period to change name. Then do it.

In reply to Florida Action Committee.

And this is the reason any sane person would NEVER enter one foot into the state without the law being changed or repealed.

All it takes is a vehicle breakdown, missing a bus, having a medical emergency or some other situation to cause a delay in getting back out of the state in time.

Think about this: If you enter the state for 1 day, get identified by law enforcement for ANY REASON, then leave the same day.. then a week later or even a month later you re-enter the state only to have law enforcement pull you over, or simply run a plate or identify you for any reason, you will now have to find a way to defend yourself and prove your innocence as they will almost certainly say you’ve been in the state long enough to trigger registration but failed to do so. And the punishment for that, well is not a slap on the wrist.

If I ever were to visit Florida, it would would be with the understanding I would be forever tied to the state and listed on the registry for life and locked into a hellish landmine of registration gotcha. Needless to say I don’t step foot in Florida and it absolutely pisses me off to see people on the registry visit florida. Your “vacation” is not worth it. If you have family there, well, if they want to see you, they should visit YOU in your state. It’s not worth your entire life possibly thrown away.

Additionally, FL has some of the most corrupt cops anywhere in the country. It’s simply not worth it. If you are off paper, get out, stay out!

In reply to Edward Ruggles.

I would report the officer as an unregistered lawyer as they were giving you legal advice. They are law enforcement, not lawyers. They have a politically vested interest in harming you. At this point, the actions of a cop can cause you harm.

When i traveled from Nebraska to California for a short visit, I was told that I would need to check into a local registration office as soon as I got to California. So under the advise of law enforcement (More of a demand, actually), I found myself checking-in to California for a temporary visit. The registering officer told me they could only mark me down as “moved into state” and would not register me otherwise. As a result, Nebraska declared me as “absconding” and I faced the very real threat of a 5 year prison sentence if I ever got caught in the state again during the duration of statute of limitations which as far as I could tell was 3 years, 5 years max.

The officers in both states conspired to cause me harm. This is why I am now ready to bring charges against any officer who gives me legal advice, also reporting them to the State Bar for practicing law without a law license.

I live in Marion county FL, and I work in South Carolina for 7 months. I’ve been doing this for 5 years.
The middle of April I get called into work in South Carolina. I go to the Sheriff and tell them , they give me my ” travel papers” and I then report to the Sheriff in South Carolina.
I don’t have to get a new Drivers license or ID, I just go to work like a normal person would. When the work season is finished I go to the South Carolina Sheriff’s Office and fill out a ” change of address” form and I can leave for Florida that same day.
I don’t go directly to my ” Home Permanent Address”, I go to Jacksonville. Where I then have to go to the Sheriff’s Office there and register a ” Temporary address” there in Jacksonville.
I work there for around 10 days and have to go back to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and let them know that I will be going to Gainesville to work.
Only this year was different . When I first went to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office I was told that if I’m going to be in Jacksonville for 10 days that Jacksonville’s temporary address is now my permanent Address and my permanent Address in Marion county is now my Temporary address,and I need to go and have it changed on my driver’s license. I said, I’ve never had to do this before, and I’ve been doing this for 5 years. She accused me of playing a game with her, and told me she can play this game better than I can.
So, what else could I do…I went and got my license changed…at $30.00 and some change.
I go to Gainesville Sheriff’s Office and tell the Officer my temporary address, and I was told to go to Tax Collector and add my temporary address with them and I did so with no troubles.
Here is where I get a call from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office to ask me when he could come by an do an address confirmation check. I tell him it’s not my ” Home/Permanent ” address, and that it’s the Marion county address.
He tells me I need to get it changed because they will put out a warrant for me if I don’t. So, I go to Marion county Tax Collector and pay the money to have a new Drivers license issued. I call the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and tell them it’s done. Awhile later I get at txt saying it’s good now.
I’ve read where I can get a State Identification . Can I have a State Identification and a Drivers license?

In reply to Florida Action Committee. Thank you for your prompt reply. I have been very upset after learning this stuff about the license. So just to clarify, I can get an i.d. card without affecting my license for the state I live in?

In reply to Ruined My Life. you can get a Florida ID card instead of a drivers license. You just need to have an identification with the designation stamped on it.

Whatever you do stay away from bay county. Landed a job with the shipbuilding company there. 2nd day on the job a detective showed up to tell me I had to leave town because of municipality laws prohibiting me from being in the surround areas. Or I could move to the woods. Those were my choices I had just paid 36 dollars for a new ID. Sold all my belongings and I do mean all except close bought a bicycle to get to work and just paid 600 dollars for a hotel for two weeks that I had to borrow half of, I explained there were 3 other RSOs in the same hotel…needless to say he said I had till the end of the week to “figure it out” because their cases were over 10yrs old. I called a number he gave me to check addresses that I found available one after another was turned down. There was a play ground or church on every corner. I told him that in the city I was living at I didn’t have those restrictions. Why would I have them now? I’m not a predator just an offender. Needless to say I moved across the city because he said that part was not his jurisdiction and I would have to talk to them. So I did. I was there for three days paid 150 more on top of a 36 dollar charge for a new license…again that I had to borrow cause I didn’t recieve my first pay for 2 weeks. 3 days there a sheriff pulls up as I’m getting on my bike to go to work and stops me. He stopped his car never getting out and asked my name and asked if I knew there was a bus stop at the end of the street I told him no cause I checked for parks churches and everything else. Didn’t think about school bus stops. He said I had till Monday (it was Thursday) to move again. At this point I was in tears and frantic I went 3 years without a job and now that I finally had one…uuugh. Anyways I brought a relative into the situation she called the detective from the first hotel,not sure what she said to him something about you’re supposed to enforce the law not make it, but he called me back the next day and said “I don’t usually call FDLE twice for someone but I did and they agreeded you do not have those restrictions have a good day” I ended up having to move several different times while there when I could finally afford it. In the end I got run out of town after 10 months of work. I attempted to move back to my home town. I left on Friday and the county I was moving to only does so registration on Tues and Thurs. But I had not stayed in my home town the whole time. I went back to bay county to stay the night at a friend’s house back in bay county when Thursday came around I went to my hometown to register and I had a warrant out for my arrest. When I finished registering she said I can’t believe I’m about to say this but you have a warrant, I said for what!!! She said failure to register. She said I have never in my life heard of someone coming in to register and getting arrested for not registering. I’m still fighting the battle it’s been since February as of right now it looks like I may win this one. I am unemployed so I have a public defender and I was worried at first but she finally gave me hope last court date. A failure to register is automatic 26 months prison time no matter the case. They have been giving me plea deals for 36 months prison at first I turned it down and said no I was completely in my rights, they investigated and offered Xmonths probation yes X no number they were pushing for 5years I laughed said no I’m jobless it’ll set me up for failure. Then they came back with 24months probation I said no. They tried to reoffer after taking the other offers the table with 36 months prob. My PD chuckled when she brought me the news cause she knew what my answer was. That was a couple weeks ago I have another court date coming up in a couple weeks that is another pretrial hearing. As I was leaving she said it looks hopeful I couldn’t get so much as a sigh of relief from her before so I’m standing my ground. I don’t need another charge I already spent 18 months in prison for a judge whom on record that told me he believed every word I said and that the techs admitted the videos were never opened but because they were in my position even unknowningly he had to make an example out of me.
