FDLE Memo to Law Enforcement Advising of Legislative Changes
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has sent the below memo to law enforcement, notifying them of the recent legislative change that will go into effect in July. The change reduces the amount of time within which you have to register a temporary address. If your county’s law enforcement is not open at least 6 days a week so that you can comply with the “within 48 hour” requirement, please ask them what provisions they will make to accommodate the new law.
If they refuse to accommodate, please let us know NOW, so that we can ensure the systems are in place in time for the new law to be implemented.

are they trying to make this retro active ?
It has punitive implications
So Retro active would be unconstitutional correct ?
Yes, it’s retroactive.
It SHOULD be unconstitutional, but that’s why we have a suit coming.
The wording of this memo may be helpful for the Ex Post Facto challenge. Note that in the memo, FDLE clearly refers to the change as “this INCREASED reporting requirement,” explicitly acknowledging that the change is an increase in or enhancement to SOR requirements. In effect, the State of Florida has acknowledged in writing that this change has INCREASED (not simply adjusted or modified) reporting requirements, making them stricter.
Also, with the reporting requirement now down to 3 days, do the legal eagles on our case believe this may substantially burden registrants’ right to travel, which is a fundamental right invoking strict scrutiny?
Yeah, I just printed that memo out and wiped my ass with it. Thanks for the free TP!!
In regards to permanent residence, I was told by the Detective that when you go to the DMV and change your address on your license, it automatically goes to the FDLE system and you don’t have to register in person at the sheriffs office. But with a temporary address, you’d have to go in person. I don’t intend to say anything. I’ll just go where I wanna go and come back. No one will know the better of it.
The Brevard County SORT is only opened 4 days a week. If a holiday is on other than Wednesday, Saturday, or Sunday then that would be another day that it is closed. This new restriction is a fine example of lawmakers who do not have a clue as what what they are doing and are blind to any impacts. This is unbelievable!
The only thing politicians care about is re-election and bribes from lobbyists. Period. They’re disconnected from everything else. They’re the real criminals which makes all this that much more infuriating.
Someone needs to contact Marion County Florida !! According to The “Sex Offender and Predator Unit” (LOVE THE NAME !!) The hours are Monday,Tue, Thurs, Fri, 8am-3pm (Not absolutely sure about opening time !!), And they are/will be CLOSED Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday !!. When I went in last March to “ReUp” this is what I was told…. They should set things up like Polk County Sheriff. They use the Jail Book In as the place where a Exoffender updates and changes their info !! And it can be done ANYTIME 24 HOURS A DAY !!!. I mean, Seriously, If the “Government” is going to FORCE someone to “COMPLY” within a certain amount of time, Then the “Government” should be FORCED to stay open 24/7 to be available for someone to do it within the required time limit !!!!!.
Could you please clarify for me. It is currently 48 hours. Are they looking to lower it below 48hrs?
