I agree that action was despicable by itself my point was it had nothing to do with the perpetrators status that was added to grab attention and make them think oh look they abuse animals too

It was WAY before the registry existed. It was in 1991 when I was arrested. And I had a high profile case at the time because I was a well known professional in the community so the news jumped on it. I felt safer in prison than that day I had to go out and tell the news people to get off my lawn or I was going to forcibly move you.
I could not make them leave the street though as I did not own the street. My Dad told me that all things will pass and he was right because after a few weeks I was old news.

I do not feel bad for him being on the news and he deserves it. Not for the registry but the way he treated the poor pup. So many places will take un-wanted animals. So for me, the words I want to say about the guy I cannot type on here.
If you do not want to take care of a dog, do not get one. If you are no longer able to, reach out for help from an animal rescue. Just throwing an animal by a dumpster is sickening to me. Even homeless can somewhat take care of themselves but a dog that is let go in the wild is not going to last long.

You will always here about the arrest, see the “perp walk”, be called a sexual deviant in the press conference, but there is never coverage when someone is found not guilty or the charges are dropped.

Dang dude, that sucks that happened to you. It must’ve been a small town if they were only focused on you.

No end

Maybe not so much related but kind of is, after I bonded out and at the time did not see a judge yet or get sentenced so at that point I had not been proved that I committed a crime until a court hearing. And yet, once I was released on bond, the news surrounded our house and sat there all day.

My parents called the police, but they said all you can do is tell them they cannot come onto your property, but they can set up on the street and film you all day long. And what happens if someone is actually found not guilty? The news is most likely going to move on with no apology or retraction, and none is required by law unless except for few rare instances.

“Vehicles owned” means any motor vehicle as defined in s. 320.01, which is registered, coregistered, leased, titled, or rented by a sexual predator or sexual offender; a rented vehicle that a sexual predator or sexual offender is authorized to drive; or a vehicle for which a sexual predator or sexual offender is insured as a driver. The term also includes any motor vehicle as defined in s. 320.01, which is registered, coregistered, leased, titled, or rented by a person or persons residing at a sexual predator’s or sexual offender’s permanent residence for 5 or more consecutive days.

I disagree, the statute is quite clear with the phrase “uses or has access to”. I hope I got the wording exact. If you borrow, or rent a vehicle or trailer you have to register it period. If you don’t you will be charged.
