We are all in it together. I was one of the first batch of 100 (Or whatever the # was) to be placed on Florida’s registry in 1997. My first registration was horrible, and the deputy had no idea what he was doing and interrogated me for over 2 1/2 hours. Of course, I was on probation at the time, but the probation officer treated me with more respect than law enforcement did, and that is really saying something.

On January first, 2027, I will have been registering for 30 years. My crime was 35 years ago but still being punished. Oh sorry, we are not allowed to call the registry punishment according to the supreme court, bless their hearts.

You should write me a letter

Here are the parts that were divided side by side.
Aspect:
Civil law:
Purpose: Resolve disputes between parties
Penalty Monetary damages or injunctions
Who files the case: Private individuals or entities
Standard of Proof:Preponderance of evidence

Criminal law:
Purpose: Punish offenses against society
Penalty : Fines, imprisonment, or community service
\Who files the case: Government (prosecutor)
Standard of proof: Beyond a reasonable doubt

Conclusion : Civil law does not result in imprisonment. Instead, it focuses on compensating the injured party or resolving disputes without criminal penalties.

@FAC
When I posted, it did not properly separate between civil law and criminal law as was shown but combined them together instead of dividing them.

@FAC
Precisely!! A civil scheme cannot be criminal and vice-versa.
If it is a civil infraction, then only a civil remedy is due.
If it is a criminal infraction (which an FTR is and the registry itself) then it cannot be called a civil law, but a punitive law!!
The registry cannot be legally defined a civil law because its repercussions are all criminal in nature.
Please read below:

Understanding Civil Law:
Civil law deals with legal disputes between private parties, such as individuals or organizations. It encompasses various issues, including contracts, property disputes, and personal injury claims.
Key Characteristics of Civil Law:

Nature of Cases: Civil cases involve disputes that do not constitute criminal offenses. Examples include:
Breach of contract
Personal injury
Property disputes

Outcomes: The outcomes of civil cases typically include:
Monetary damages to compensate the injured party
Injunctions or orders to do or refrain from doing something

Differences from Criminal Law:

Civil law is distinct from criminal law, which involves actions considered harmful to society and can lead to imprisonment. Here are the main differences:
Aspect Civil Law Criminal Law
Purpose Resolve disputes between parties Punish offenses against society
Penalties Monetary damages or injunctions Imprisonment, fines, or community service
Burden of Proof Preponderance of evidence (51%) Beyond a reasonable doubt (100%)
Court Type Civil court Criminal court

Conclusion
Civil law does not result in imprisonment. Instead, it focuses on resolving disputes and providing remedies to the affected parties.
An FTR was regarded as a civil offense and an infraction was only a fine which made it a civil infraction.
Now, an FTR is a criminal offense that involves prison time (no longer a civil offense) and cannot be classified in all legal language as a civil offense or a or a civil law as they are falsely claiming.
The legal language is plain and simple-civil laws do NOT send you to prison.
This proves that the registry is criminal law( punitive, NOT remedial) and not civil as they claim.
I am still requesting that you show me a civil law that sends someone to prison for an infraction.

George Carlin said something to the effect that people don’t have rights, only privileges. Rights cannot be taken away. I’ve been on the registry for a decade. Far less time than others have been and the registry has changed significantly since I first started.

It’s not the schemes themselves that are felonies. It’s the infraction. Some infractions can be civil, some criminal.

When I was a young lad, I would ask for a cookie and my dad would so no. Instead of saying, ok, I simply asked, “Why can’t I have a cookie?”. My Dad would respond “Because I said so”. That is the same thing the courts are doing this to us, “Just because they can” and with no further explanation.

They are playing with our lives, and not just ours, but our families are affected as well. Going on vacation, a hotel, a park, an amusement park and many other places we are told not to visit. I would fully understand if I was still on probation, but get this, I did ALL of those things while on probation without a single no from the probation officer as long as I gave dates, locations and who I was with.

But now off of all sanctions, myself and others have had dump truck loads of new requirements to stay out of jail and don’t pass Go!

@FAC
Can you please name any civil regulatory schemes that imprison you and are counted as a felony infraction.
You can go to jail for a civil infraction, but not prison.
Please name those civil regulatory schemes that are felonies and imprison you.
