If I am not home, no matter how much my deputy likes me more than anyone else (LOL) I get a large Yellow flyer on the door that states Sex offender enforcement check. Then the deputies name and phone # is written on there stating to call them for verification check. We are not required to be home when they come but a pain to have to get chased down and embarrassing when the flyers are posted on front door. It is a bit easier than when I worked as they would purposely come knowing I was at work. And thank God they do not come to your work place like when my probation officer used to do when I worked.

And I am always nice to the deputies and have not had any jerk ones so far, except when I lived in Seminole county which was a nightmare, hence why I moved out of there once off probation. (Although on the registry it really seems we are still on some sort of probation, you know what I mean)
“Freedom isn’t free”

Dealing with unexpected spot checks is always a hassle. When the deputy assumed I lived in my RV just because it was in the driveway, I had to clarify that I’m the homeowner and it’s not hooked up in which deputy was shocked. Remember, you only need to provide ID during these checks unless you’re on probation or supervision beyond that is unnecessary. Those updates should really be handled through the FDLE portal or in person to avoid this kind of entrapment. This is Hernando where they hang a green door handle placard saying “Hernando County Sheriff office: Deputies from the Hernando County Sheriff office attempted to contact you regarding your sex offender/predator registration status. You MUST contact the person below as soon as possible.” The original notice was 9/30 on my RV only in my driveway side of house not hooked up to anything no one living. Why not put two notices. I have many questions to this type of contact and how the Deputy admittedly assumed I lived in RV and did not put two notices. Also are these posted notices with my status and name legal technically. Comparative example to Colorado – if not there officer will leave his card with just his title and agency working for on it. They also call you if not there second spot check. But its ironic was coding and writing this post and got my spot check.

Where I register, there are so many people on the registry now, that there is a line all the way around the building. If you do not get there early, you might have an hour wait to get in as they only allow two people in for registration at a time. And the compelled speech sign on the side of the building stating “Offender line starts here” is a nice touch, right? (I do give them some credit for not posting it as Sex offender lines starts here).
