FDLE Recommended Changes to the Registry
Contained in the Criminal Justice Meeting Packet was a one-pager from FDLE with their recommended amendments to the registry. Their suggestions included allowing registration of vehicle changes and addresses online through the Cyber Communication Portal.
SB234 does incorporate the vehicles, but not the addresses. Allowing address changes to be made online makes sense because (1) it would not require a separate trip to the sheriff’s office (sometimes requiring hours of time and taking additional time off work) to notify of a brief trip, and (2) it would afford people the opportunity to report within required time frames when their local police departments are closed (most are closed for periods longer than 48 hours).

Referencing the ‘FDLE-Talking Points’, the last statement is the KICKER!
It is all about money and budgets!
‘They’ will still get ‘Their’ Donut and Coffee Breaks and Continue to steal from the American Taxpayer!
Surprised the FDLE is suggesting something good for a change.
I’m pretty sure the decision to put out of state and dead people on the Florida’s registry was actually the FDLE’s decision rather than the legislature’s. I’ve never seen anything in Florida statutes that actually says “Registrants shall not be removed when they leave Florida” or “Registrants shall not be removed from the Florida registry for a year after they die.”
WHY don’t they require violent offenders to report personal information? Or is America in love with violence and blood but gets negatively emotional by the word ‘sex’?
Truly pathetic. People in this country really need to get their priorities straight.
My only question is, How do we get a reciept or proof we did so online? A great fix if it is done properly,but if it for some reason doesn’t take and you think it did, you would be in jail faster than my Grandfather cutting the cheese after Taco Tuesdays.
Use the print screen option on your computer keyboard or make a video recording of your online registration/changes if you think that kind of proof is needed.
Just Sayin,Yeah, we will be in jail with high bail, oh at least we could hope for the 12 months we spent in jail waiting trial maybe get some sort of compensation.
Screenshots are sufficient proof. I take screenshots and archive them for every change I make in the online system.
You can also email yourself the screen shot and it will be archived on email server in case you’re computer crashes.
Even if it comes back undeliverable. The email is there that you sent on the server
I screenshot all of my changes, but I still worry. Provided that I remember to do it each time and that I archive the screenshots reliably, they can still become lost or damaged on my end. If I keep those archives on an electrical storage device, that device could be taken by LE during an arrest for failure to report the changes. It’s also possible that my screenshots would not be accepted as proof of my compliance with reporting, since they can by fabricated by a savvy graphic artist. Or LE might even suggest that I made the change at one time but then removed the update at a later time. Also, if I didn’t have a PC or cell phone, and made my updates from a library computer (provided the library allowed me to enter in the first place), it might be a lot harder to get a picture of the screen.
You write, among other hypotheticals: “that device could be taken by LE during an arrest for failure to report the changes.” How?
Curious
There is a difference between what law enforcement is “Allowed” to do, and what they get away with. I worked in law enforcement in the 1980s and the “line” was crossed a lot by cops who thought in their heads that they were above the law and who is going to question or tell on another cop, culture.
For years officers got away with crap. There was no social media back then. But even now, dirty cops get away with a lot, especially when it comes to those on the registry. Their mentality is “Who they gonna believe, a decorated officer, or some sick sex offender”? Cover it up and sweep it under the rug.
For example, cops suspect that I have been using a messaging service, but they don’t see the URL or name of service and Internet identifier disclosed on the FDLE website. My laptop might contain proof that I visited that site or used that service. So, taking any Internet devices might be part of an arrest warrant. Though I don’t have first-hand experience, I see that happen on TV and in movies all the time.
“I see that happen on TV and in movies all the time.” Theres a big difference between what you see in movies and TV shows versus legal situations in real life. We don’t need to spread fear based on something someone sees fictionalized on TV or in movies. Theres enough of that already. We need real world examples in this forum.
Well if fdle wanted people to add and delete addresses on line. Wiat untill the demand increases from this new pice of legislation.
Better recommendations purging the registry of the deceased those who do not live or no longer live in Florida or those who’s convictions pre date the registry that would be a step in the right direction
They make money off those numbers.
Yes they do…btw would this be a good time to give a status update on our Out Of State Challenge?
Yes – stay tuned for this week’s update. The preview is it’s been funded and will be filed by summer.
Respectfully Called ‘JAG FUNDS’, aka, ‘EDWARD BYRNE MEMORIAL JUSTICE ASSISTANT GRANT’,,,
THIS IS THE SOURCE WHERE ALL THE MONIES FOR SORNA ARE GENERATED……
THIS IS THE CUSP THAT ALLOCATES FUNDS FOR THOSE THAT ARE FORCED TO REGISTER….
THIS IS WHERE IT ALL HAPPENS….IT IS LIKE THE FEDERAL RESERVE FOR THOSE FORCED TO REGISTER…….
Truth
That is also why some registration locations CHARGE registrants a registration fee each time they go in to make a change or register. AND the damn courts have found it legal to do so. SO being charged financially to register for a crime we committed and are no longer on probation for, for LIFE is not punishment???????
The supreme court needs to stop smoking crack
Totally agree, should be removed from registration, when time is served or dead people.
