When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty!!!!
At what point does the clock start counting down on the state of limitations? From the registrants release from prison or end of probation?
I cannot describe the roller coaster of emotions I feel from this. I’m sure someone feels the same, but who knows. I guess I’m just used to Florida that I don’t recognize how bad it is for certain citizens here. I’m so confused how we gotta do far with this case to have it just dismissed so flippantly. Maybe it is time to really leave Florida. Other states you can get off the registry after less years than Florida requires. I have kids to raise, and I can’t live forever wondering what crazy loophole will be used to lose everything over built over ten free and clear years. Fight on for the cause, but I think for me it might be time to move on to better place.
Create more laws, catch more criminals!
What a crock of a ruling!! Meanwhile Florida increases restrictions regardless of how long someone has been crime free. Truly disappointed but not surprised with the corruption of Florida’s government. It’s time the pedestal gets knocked down crunching fantasyland allowing true justice to prevail.
These cases are a no brainer for constitutional and human rights and these judges keep playing games. Ridiculous!
