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.

Well if you are off parole/probation I would leave that state yesterday if you have a job in Florida then move to Alabama on the state line then go to work everyday if the cops give you any problems call the us Marshalls because as long as you are legal in Alabama let them know where you work they can’t touch you. As long as you don’t live there you do have to tell them shit.
Hello,
Family member in Highlands County for failure to register after 15 years of no issues. Apparently built in apps on our phones can cause problems (facebook messenger) along with sales apps like offer up and dating apps.
My question is, when did the internet identifiers and built in apps become mandatory reporting? I have read and re read Florida State Statutes, but cannot find information the when question.
TIA

draconian laws which are not grounded in reality.
Alot of sex offenders lately these past 5 years or more are from sex sting people are on internet to me adult there are article saying undercops are doing the controling to have them committe a creime no victimin they arent propecting parents and chilren at all your right if they were going to do any sexual crime they would go away from where they live 10pm to 6am homeless where is their supervised re think your registery probation according to paragraph 16 after 1000 ft rule states they must come out and measure which i heard a probation officers in jax fl said no they dont do that then said be glad the offender can sleep in a vehicle alot of them dont they paid there time fix all registery has abrusive kidnapping raping plan words victimin sex sting donot have victimin so no to restergy
My name is john wright i was caught in a sex sting here in fl a yera ago i go to court in the morning at 830 they want me to plea to 11-29 in jail and 5 years sex offender probation for a fictional person from pof and Craigslist not sure what im going to do it just seems that the state of fl dont give a dam about ruining someones life only the money its sad that this world has come to what it is im not a child preditor ive lost my home my motorcycle im out over 20.000 cash because i was inticed to commit a crime by the police pretending to be an adult then a child at 14 they just assume you going to have sex and not give the person a chance to backout once the meet takes place i was unsure of the age because the pictures they sent had her wearing wedding band ring i feel the 1st amendment is no longer our right
If you are pending charges – the only person you should be talking with about the specifics of your case is your lawyer.
I agree sir these stings are getting out of hand no victimin no registery usa today april 8 2014 has article on that undercover cops are not going by procedures and getting these people to committe crime. Check it out yes i am wring on that too all articles have victimins
My son was convicted .never been in trouble in his life and there was pictures he never downloaded or viewed.he is disabled .you get less time for actually touching a child because they think if there is photos you will eventually touch a child.there is no proof of that.but noone gets a fare chance because the sheriff likes to run his pie hole
The simplistic evil intent is so overt that anyone with half a brain can see it clearly.
This is simply designed to make it easier for law enforcement to violate more and more registered citizens with a technical violation and give them yet another “strike” giving the artificial and totally false increase to the number of “sex offenders” who re-offend! Come on!
This is abuse and bullying and nothing more. This shit needs to stop NOW!
How does anyone know if these men will go back on internet to find adult then fine out it is a sex sting you dont read hear of anyone redoing scheriff in jax fl on tv say most of them never had a recorder so whats that telling you judge order a sex test while in county da at sentence says donot take in conceration of one dr opion then why tell judge you want it done because not the out come he wanted
Could this be challenged as being a paradox?
The statute reads permanent address is 3 or more consecutive days. Temporary address is 3 days in aggregate.
So say you travel and stay somewhere 4 days, by definition that is not a temporary address it is permanent address even though it is actually a temporary address.
Now correct me if I am wrong but if you have a permenant address in another county that would require you to register in that county.
For every dumb$$$ law that Florida passes I cringe and die inside just a little more….but today a beautiful law was passed in a state that actually stirred a little hope in my heart for humanity and the American culture which I saw as going into a shamble of (????)

Finally some sensical journalism in an otherwise bleak landscape…enjoy all!
Anon – thank you for that article – I posted it on my FB. I love Free Range Kids. Isn’t it refreshing that a state actually bases laws on the truth and not some politician generated fear? However, how sad is it that a state feels compelled to make a law that says it is ok for kids to play outside. I do not know the status of RSO laws in Utah but I hope the lawmakers can now make the logical jump that kids are safe and change some of the policies concerning RSOs
@Karen,
I follow your posts carefully…it would seem that you are either related to or a significant other of an RSO..either way I too find it refreshing when I read / see / or hear about a woman not being intimidated by the fear monger machine. In prison RSO’s are not allowed to even look at a woman. One of the many facts and facets that I personally had to overcome related to my own PTSD from this nightmare.
Thanks for the kind words!
Anon – my son is an RSO. CP , adjudication withheld (really means nothing in FL), teenager looking at teenagers 🙁
Unless things have changed significantly in the last 18 years, adjudication withheld DOES mean a LOT. It means that you dod not lose all of your civil rights forever. That means you can vote at some point without having to rely on executive clemency which will not be forthcoming. It also very well could mean that you will not be permanently barred as a practical matter from certain professions like being a lawyer.
IF Amendment 4 passes forget your voting rights being restored– adjudication withheld or not.
under the rules of united state Immigration and nationally act withhold adjuication means conviction to them and special offence and can not file a i-129 or I-130 so If you all have plans of marry a forien national you will never be able to bring her or him here.they wil do there very best to block it with a NO RISK clause which has only been done 6x out of 1000s of family based petitions convicted or not of a special offence (sex crime)
Oh and I know about the PTSD all too well – family gets it too. I am so paranoid at knocks on the door – seeing LE makes my heart race….
Aron, great law for kids and parent alike. However, the posting of this kind of info may be a little inappropriate, in my opinion, for posting on a sex offender info type website. Always keep in mind that alot of people tend to see only the worst in us as sex offenders/predators. Many may see free range children as an opportunity equating to easy prey for a child sex offender. Not good…appearance and perception really is everything …
