They said that while folks like us remain on the Florida registry even when we leave the state permanently, we are technically not required to register in Florida any longer. By that I mean that we are no longer required to maintain our current information with the sheriff or FDLE even if we were convicted in Florida or our offense. So how is it that federal law says that anyone on the registry in Florida for whatever reason who is not currently residing working attending school or what have you in Florida is somehow still obligated to “register” at a Federal
level Even if they were are no longer required to register in the state where they reside?
Of course, this is one of these eminently logical questions that seems to go unanswered in Florida like how can the state can permit cities and counties to enforce residency restrictions against people convicted prior to 2005 when the state has pretty much said that they would not be permitted to do so?
