Can someone site this case? I have searched all over the interwebs and can’t find anything. I would love to see the actual court case of this as-applied challenge for myself and not just the articles and comments describing how great this was. Thank you.

In reply to Warg.

NY does this as well, but their site doesn’t pop up immediately when I search my name, instead there are a few sites similar to the mugshot sites.

I haven’t lived in the US for almost two years and they refuse to remove me on the grounds of the Doe v O’Donnell ruling even though my original offense occurred in another state which would fall under the decision of Richard which had the same outcome as this Illinois case.

Hopefully something comes of this as I don’t want the same to happen to me and be separated from my family and life

In reply to Warg. Warg, Agreed, Florida shows its punitive registry, when it refuses to remove dead people, vacationers, and people who no longer live in the state. If we could fund this case, and win , Florida would lose 1/2 the money it receives. The best way to hurt Florida, is in the pocketbook. I wonder how different the Florida registry will look, and how lawmakers will treat it, when the funding starts to dry up. Lets face it , follow the money is what's it all been about for Florida..

In reply to Alex. That is the whole plan behind the scheme ( really scam ) to force sex offenders to leave the state but continue to collect federal money as if they were still Florida residents . The federal government should help finance the law suit and sue the state for fraud.

COME TO FLORIDA ON VACATION AND LEAVE A LIFETIME REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER
A registered individual goes to Florida on vacation, does the right thing and registers with the Sheriffs office in the county he is vacationing presuming he’ll only be on the registry during the time he is in Florida. WRONG!
Although he is only required to register in his home State for 10 years and eventually is removed at the end of 10 years, he will be on the Florida sex offender registry for life! That’s because Florida, to inflate their registry count, keeps people on its public sex offender registry after they returned to their home state, moved out of Florida, were deported or even died!
The purpose of “Megan’s Law” is to inform the public of “dangerous” people in their communities. But what purpose does Florida’s registry serve when the individual is no longer in the community and no longer in the state? Only to shame for life!
Worse, Florida is perhaps the only state that allows its registry to be indexed by search engines. Meaning; if you Google your name, your sex offender flyer comes right up. As harmful as this is for registrants in Florida, it’s particularly harmful and unnecessary for a registrant who is no longer in the state, who is not on a publicly indexed registry in their state or who has been removed from the registry in their home state.
Less than half the people on the Florida sex offender registry are living in Florida communities. Less than half!
Individuals on the Florida registry who are no longer in Florida, coordinated in conjunction with the Florida Action Committee, are looking to bring a lawsuit against the State seeking their removal from the Florida registry. If anyone is interested in participating or contributing to the challenge, please contact legal@floridaactioncommittee.org.
