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.

Florida continues to run wild on the fight against the Constitution of the United States as if they are a country unto themselves!
This shit has got to stop. It is abuse plain and simple. Human rights violations are not the way for a free society to evolve. It seems that Florida is fine with de-evolving back into the dark ages with witch hunts…how far will this rogue state government be allowed to go!?!
Those who have paid their debt are homeless, unemployable, targets for hate crimes (with the photo and address provided) and countless other human rights violations.
I will say it again…this SHIT has GOT to STOP!
In my last Re-Reg (Orange County) there were several Homeless Registrants. The Registar was so swamped that he simply gave them a map and told them to circle the area closest to where they sleep at night. That means the cops themselves violated Florida Statutes of Residency. There is no way to monitor every Homeless Offender. So if a Offender that has no permanent address and is homeless moves his or her sleeping bag each night, does this new restriction apply? This is another basically unenforceable law when it comes to Registrants that have no address. @JEV1A
Thats so true a remark by jax probation said be glad that a person is sleeping in a vechile along side a road but yet he is consider homeless where is supervison on that according to court order paragraph 16 has the 1000 ft rules also states they must come out to measure resident boundary line to the area of what they live close to park school playground probation said they dont do that they go by a dot i guess thats your resident with a circle around it thats what they look at
What do the Books have on all the weak-kneed politicians in Florida?????
Perpetual imprisonment in private prisons is exactly what the current Florida administration is playing at. All along the politicians & media dehumanize ROs(calling humans animals, monsters, etc.).
Step one-destabilization.
Step two-legislate into homelessness.
Step 3- legislate into prison for being homeless.
Step 4- Get rich!
Why? Governors, legislators, congressional staff & law enforcement are buying private prison stock & planning on getting rich by keeping the prisons full of ROs.
The Governor removed any possibility of felons regaining Voting rights upon taking office. No voice, no hope & no future. Except, perpetual imprisonment to fill politicians’ coffers at the expense of others’ wasted lives.
Life is about constant change & growth.
Conduct a counter cyber campaign geared at political character assassination & get rid of these slimy turds by showing everyone their’ dirty secrets & plans for perpetual imprisonment. Insist legislation at the Federal Level prohibiting these people & their’ families from any such investments. Then, maybe the majority of us can lead a peaceful & productive life & actually contribute to our communities’.
Genuine care, consideration & positive motivation are integral for successfulness. Why is our Government not doing those things instead? They capitalize from destabilizing society but not by giving it real solid structure. If this were untrue the politicians would be fixing the problem & not creating more problems.
Lambert V. California may be useful to you in regards to out of state registrants traveling to Florida who may not be aware of their obligations.
Golden nugget!
Even attempting to understand the law without lawyers should also be a good argument. Why should a person be forced to try and interpret difficult to understand legal jargon through a costly attorney, simply if they are traveling or even moving (which technically is still traveling). Our Constitution grantees us freedom of travel without restriction. Yet, these laws prevent freedom of travel without the threat of repercussions in doing so.
There is another “gotcha” that most people are unaware of that works really, really well for the cops to use on people. That is, if you travel away from a State to another state, they can ask you to “check in” when you arrive at the destination State. In doing so, they can violate you for absconding. It happened to me. Prior to my travel I simply asked what I had to do, paperwork-wise prior to travel and they said “nothing”.
It’s almost getting to the point where it’s pointless to try. My entire life is now so fragile and can be upheaved and destroyed at almost a moment’s notice, with or without good reason, and I would have to start all over again.
America doesn’t want me to stay but they won’t let me leave either.
When does it end. :/
