Florida is ridiculous. I can figure out how they can increase someone’s sentence after it’s already been handled.

It’s like serving your time and then someone knocking on your door years later to tell you that because of a law change, you have to go back and do more time.

All of these rules to keep more and more people out, to keep them down so they can’t climb life’s ladder to the top. Most of these “sex offenders” were just 18 and 19 year old boys with girlfriends who were probably 15 16 17... now he looks like a child molester his whole life...it’s bullshit and very one sided.]]></description>

AIRBNB bans most FELONS now.
I have been an AIRBNB member that lives in New Jersey for over a year. I have already rented twice from them with zero issues in other states. The beginning of Aug I rented a beach-side condo for my family that was driving from Kansas to New Jersey. AIRBNB quickly took my money, the host sent me a contract &#038; I had a confirmed reservation. The day before at 630am I get a email from AIRBNB stating they needed to confirm my identity. They already had my FB information, DOB, Phone# and personal email &#038; address &#038; Credit info. Email sent to me - I have to confirm ID, before my next reservation which was the next day and if I do not they will cancel my reservation. I complied &#038; waited. At 10:26am they email me the following -We regret to inform you that, we made a determination to permanently deactivate your account. The following information was found in a consumer report-Criminal Records Match. Yes I had a conviction in 1998, &#038; listed as a sex offender. Now I find out they banned my wife too since she lives at same address. She will pick any property from any state. She will hit the request booking and then gets an error message. She calls tech support and get the same old story that they will email her with steps to take to correct. Nothing in a week now. Here is AIRBNB response they sent me -
What are the crimes for which you remove users from the platform?
Users with serious criminal histories may be removed or referred for further review if our checks show convictions within a certain time period.

Less serious convictions will never result in removal (such as disorderly conduct or marijuana possession).

Some other crimes may result in removal for a period of 14 years (such as felony burglary or felony larceny) or seven years (such as fraud or property damage) from the date of conviction.

Severe crimes may result in removal for a longer period of time or even permanently (such as murder, terrorism, rape or child molestation).]]></description>

It seems that this bill died and didn&#039;t pass, but it got me thinking.   Therefore, have a couple of questions regarding vacation rentals at the beach:

Say you want to take a vacation...

If you are no longer on probation and you stay within the rules of temporary residence regarding the number of days, are you still restricted to finding something that is greater than 1000 feet from a restricted area?  (park, school, daycare, etc).   Most of the vacation rentals I have researched  have a community pool and at least on the East Coast, the straight line is usually within 1000 feet of the borders of the entrance to a park and the border of the parking lot,  but the door to the specific unit is greater than 1000 feet.  I don&#039;t know if that makes sense or not?

Also, would you be under any specific ordinances that county enacted into law, or would it be safe to assume that if you follow the temporary residence rule, you do not need to register since you are just on vacation from the county of your permanent residence.   This is all within travel of the State of FL.]]></description>
