Tearful

Since there are no signs posted where we can and cannot go, I just go about my business and pretend I am not on the registry. The way the World is going, none of this might not matter at some point in a biblical perspective if you get my drift.

I really don’t go to many places. I work from home except Wednesdays. I go to church, the gym, My dad’s Doctor appointments and my daughters house that is about it. The store also but to my knowledge there is nothing within 500 feet, but either way I always go the older cashiers. My only place of issue is the Gym. It has a pool and I think the age limit for membership is 16. So my plan is not talk to anyone other than my regulars.
And the two Chick fil A’s I go to neither of them has a Play area that I know of and I only use the drive thru.

This entire scheme is a trap. They add and pile more and more burdens on us to the point we are doomed to fail. Unless you stay in the house forever, we are always one step away from getting arrested. (That is at least how I feel sometimes)
I have been detained over 20 times since on the registry. Every single time, FDLE took my side, but each time I almost peed my pants thinking I was going back to prison. Walking while an offender, driving while and offender, riding a bike while and offender and many more have happened to me.
And don’t even get me started when you get pulled over for nonsense, you sit on the side of the road for hours, waiting for FDLE to clear you. (I guess it is better than being arrested and while we are detained, they are leaving someone else alone)
I barely leave the house anymore because of all this nonsense. Wait until all the surveillance cameras start going up everywhere. I will start dressing up like Misses Doubtfire to disguise myself.

I would refer you to the statute but in my view the only thing is the proximity part.

Please Please Please do not go off what I say. I am in the same boat as everyone else when it comes to the Proximity part of this and just as much in the “I dont really know” mentality. I am only looking at the statute and what I believe it means and that and $5.00 will not even get you a cup of coffee at starbucks.

It is just my understanding. FAC and their attorneys are the experts here.

Thank you for that clarification, citing the code itself. At least for now, my hospitality career will continue.

Thank you for that clarification! I’m hoping that my hospitality career will continue! I love the work.

No End, I believe you are correct.

home parks, or townhouses, or any pool operated by a governmental entity
which is held open to the public. The term does not include a swimming pool
at a private single-family residence, hotel, motel, or recreational vehicle
park, or a swimming pool where the operator prohibits the use of such pool
by persons younger than 18 years of age

That is the definition of Swimming pools. Which after reading the L&P statute, (4)(a) It is unlawful for a person described in subsection (1) to knowingly
approach, contact, or communicate with, or approach with the intent to
contact or communicate with a person younger than child under 18 years of
age in any public park building or on real property comprising any public

If the public swimming pool definition is the same as above. Then it would appear that motels, hotels, RV parks would be excluded as well. Still wondering about Gyms with pools.

FAC any thoughts.
