Good point! Also, the 15 year tolling period starts upon release from incarceration, not probation/parole.

is it in “the community” or in Washington? Generally, “in the community” means out of custody.
You might want to confirm this.

You can scratch Washington off the list too, unless you are very young. Out-of-staters are required to remain registered for life, unless you can live crime free in Washington for 15 consecutive years, then you can petition to get off.

“(c) If the person is required to register for a federal, tribal, or out-of-state conviction, when the person has spent fifteen consecutive years in the community without being convicted of a disqualifying offense during that time period.”

@JoeM,

I tried to make sense of all their statutes regarding registration, but came up unsure if you move there, how would a Floriduh conviction be equated, and when the tolling period to petition removal from the registry starts, date of conviction or date of arrival in Georgia. No matter how you slice it, anyone moving there from Floriduh will be on their registry for life (and beyond).

And so starts the possible march (if passed and signed into law) to SCOTUS and a ruling on the entire topic, i.e. agree to hear it or not and if they do, will it be allowed or not?, if challenged.

IMO, if you cannot attach a GPS to a car, US v Jones (2012), SCOTUS, without a warrant since it is considered a search, the human is in the same vein for movement tracking via a search without a warrant. Same is said for cellphone signals, Carpenter v US (2018), SCOTUS, and tracking of movement. There was a time when humans would walk everywhere, so my analogy is all movement regardless of method, e.g. car, horse, bicycle, scooter, boat, skateboard, rollerskates, etc, cannot be electronically tracked by any method without a warrant.

Again, this comes down to using the data for what purpose and why does a human differ than a machine, i.e. a GPS tracker on a car or a cellphone with GPS on?

@ JEV: No, It will not be too expensive …. because they will require the offenders (as part of their lifetime probation) to pay an exorbitant monthly fee for the pleasure of being GPS-monitored. But that’s not punishment, right?? 🙄

Day #1 I would drive my car off a bridge and gps would be ruined.

Day # 2, They chew me out and replace the unit. On the way home, I accidentally trip and fall into the community pool.

Day #3, I am threatened with jail if I ruin another gps. After getting a replacement, a pipe burst and ……. well you get the picture.

Georgia is a kind of a good news/bad news jurisdiction. You can get off of the registry there and, last time that I checked, you don’t have to report all of your internet identifiers to the police. Also, most of the restrictions placed on offenders relying to where they can live, work, etc are considered punishment in Georgia and as such, cannot be applied ex post facto. The bad news is that if you are convicted AFTER the period between like 2006 and 2009, the laws are among the most draconian in the country. I am trying to move there because if the the one state where I can apply to be removed from the registry that treats out of staters ht3 same as in staters AND I could afford to move there. Indiana MIGht end up being another one after the most recent court decisions. Most of the other states where you might have a chance like Vermont, Colorado, Washington and Oregon just cost too much.

This has already happened in Missouri also. However, there is NO way a T3 Registrant can ever get off of it. The one they use here is NOT water proof. You can’t go swimming or take bathes.
