Many states had registries in place prior to SORNA/AWA (2006) or even the Jacob Wetterling Act (1994).
Florida’s registry was enacted in 1997, almost a decade before SORNA.

Respectfully – I would disagree. If SORNA isn’t in place, there wouldn’t be the state statute.. what would be the incentive to have the insane law in the first place?

Might want to look up if you can’t ascend to a certain length, otherwise you maybe in violation of the Soaring ACT under subsection telephone/ election poles.

Could you imagine if that was a law? Nothing surprises me anymore including tramping over the Constitution.

R Raff…

I could only imagine having to living like that in FLori-Duh!

Perhaps He Knew, Perhaps He did not know

But the Bottom Line in FLori-Duh and in any other State Jurisdiction, You gotta know the laws…BUT….and in FLori-Duh, everything is based on Strict Liability of the Law…So, You are screwed both ways and on Sunnnny—-days!

Someone just needs to come up with an alternative NextDoor. From what I’ve heard about it, they’ve set a very low bar to beat. Anyone IT developers what to take this on?

I’m not sure how a cardboard “lost tag” would make a difference. PFRs in NC don’t have to update their license tag, nor is this found on the SOR.

Yes, and it’s not like this guy was there with the intent to do reconnaissance on children or follow a bus. Probably wanted to meet up with his wife for lunch or something similarly benign, but instead, he found out the hard way just how messed up and sanctimonious the registry is.

It’s too bad the school board officials and law enforcement doesn’t put this much vigilance, effort and time into thwarting and deterring the real threat to children on campus – active shooters. The disgusting aspect of all this is they wanted the same praise and glory from catching “one of those people” on their “hollowed grounds.”

Jacob, I was not insinuating to do so and not get caught. I was explaining to the other poster who saId it would have been avoided if he put a cardboard” lost tag ” on his car that it would not have avoided the issue and the fact it would have made things worse for him if he did and got caught and then all of us because they would have said it was for evil purposes and that we all think that way . I agree if he knew he shouldn’t be there then he shouldn’t have been . however my original point was we don’t know the whole story. He may have been told at one point he could go to pick his wife up there but then someone found out and started raising cane so they called on him. The smartest way to think of it would stay off property unless he had written permission from the school AND the police stating he could be there.

All, this thread smacks of “how not to get caught.” Can we try not to go there. FAC’s position is compliance, even with laws that make no sense.

He shouldn’t have been on the premises. She should have stopped him, if she knew. And NC should be challenged over this outrageous law.
