Governor Scott signs Sex Offender Bill (HB 1301) into Law
Add 2018 to the list of years in which the sex offender registry became more onerous and restrictive (and punitive). Governor Rick Scott signed HB 1301/SB 1226 into law.
CS/HB 1301/SB 1226 Sexual Offenders and Predators – This bill enhances registration requirements for sexual offenders and sexual predators. It shortens the time that a registrant is required to register a residence (even temporary) from 5 days to 3 days and it imposes a 6 month mandatory minimum community control sentence with GPS monitoring for any technical registration violation.
The registry is NOTHING like it was in 2003 when the Supreme Court of the United States agreed that it was no more onerous than a price club membership application.

Sigh, sigh, and sigh again. How can a punishment of probation (a criminal punishment) be assessed for the violation of a civil infraction to people that have completed their sentences? It is just absolutely mind boggling. It is ever going to end? I can remember once when my son saw a judge for a reported violation (all turned out well and it was dropped) the judge was actually amused because she said she wanted to see how they were going to enforce a punishment for a civil violation – so even the judge (and a harsh one at that) knew that this system is flawed.
did anyone have any doubts ?? hundreds , if not thousand of phone calls and emails sent to senate and representatives, and i would be willing to bet NONE in favor.
What can we do to fight this? Where is the ACLU? What can I do?
I can assure you when I get off probation in July, I am going to South Carolina to see my family for at least a week. I will travel to Tallahassee to watch my Seminoles play football, I will go wherever the hell I feel like going, and the LAST thing I will do, is worry about that damn new law that Prick Scott just signed which was sponsored by Lauren Crook and her mob boss father. I’m going to live my life how I want and not give there idiots a second thought. Have a great day ya’ll.
You get what you give. Screw them, did my time, do what is asked of me even though no one can interpret the law??? The dumb asses in Seminole county only want to find reasons to arrest you. Go live you life. F them!!
Forget about EFP. That has been violated since the beginning of this unconstitutional Law was passed. But guess what we are not human and have no rights……. take your rights you have no defense, take your weapons they own you… what Americans don’t understand is this will soon happen to all if we dont stand up against it. I’m tired of all the BS talk by attorneys and so call committees that say this is a violation of the constitution, yet don’t do shit to stop. Let’s see action and we will believe you????
How can we be part of the lawsuit?
mr. Scott…
Why did you do this??
$$$$$.Get the hint? Shouldn’t Rick Scott’s ass be in jail by now?
So you are trying to tell us you are helping us but you edit freedom of speech, I would call that hypocritical???
Don’t vote for Rick Scott. He is the one who sign for more strict laws for sex offender. Don’t vote for Desantis it will only get worse for sex offender and sex predators. Vote for Gillum he will be less strict.
In fact seem like Rick Scott was the one who sign for life time registration for all sex offender. LIFETIME!!!! Ridiculous like we kill some body. They need to realize we are humans too. I can understand 10 yrs but Lifetime. You might as well give up in life like I have. Can’t get a job living in a 1958 trailer and can’t live a decent life only because I was in a sting operation and the only thing I did was drive in a gated prison neighbor and never got out to meet a 14 yrs old boy. All I did was drive off and try to get out of the prison gate neighbors when all swat team swarm me and told me to get out of the cars now like I was a terrorist. Shame on all those cop in Florida trying to set some one up. Bait and trap. So illegal,but they get away it because the us government is a organize crime unit. Any the lawyer in Florida don’t care cause it’s all about money and don’t care about nothing but there Mercedes. They do what they want when they want to do it. Government suck and everyone should vote for Gillum for governor if we can live a fair life in Florida and be all equal.
