Oh well either way I was on probation ( A sanction & punishment ) when the registry came out and was ON the registry since 1997 so seems they illegally had me and many others on the registry because I sanctions were still in play?

Like F.A.C said, they will re-write that part or add an addendum to fix it. Then that will be another Ex post facto case as they again modified , changed, or added something to the registry. It just never ends.

if you have been released from probation and not had any subsequent arrests, contact legal@floridaactioncommittee.org

They first asked for (and were granted) a rehearing.

Any other circuits use this yet?

Another difference, anyone can just log onto the computer and within seconds be on the offender website for free.

Before that, if you wanted to see someone’s record, you had to go to the courthouse, fill out a form and pay a fee (You still do in my places to get records)

I do not care if someone wants to waste their day at the court house paying to look at my records because unless they are sealed, anyone can do so and have been able to do so for many decades. Unlike the registry where anyone without permission, fees or filling out any paperwork can view damning information about us that most likely is not even still relevant to our lives.

I might also note, that most of the people who have seen me on the registry and confronted me, do not even live in my neighborhood.

Legislature will most certainly make the fix retroactive. Remember that they made virtually the entire registration law, and its amendments, retroactive, and will continue to do so until the court rules that it fails the balancing test for ex post facto punishment.

It seems because the court ruling mentioned ‘and all other jurisdictions’ this may indeed apply all across Florida as the Sherriff quoted in the article implies.
The question I have is: does the ‘fix’ become retro active since the law has been in place since 1997 and the laws intent does not matter to the court? Wouldn’t the ‘fix’ have to take place from the date it is adopted to begin?

“they are legally allowed to hide who they”

WTF are we hiding. Do they have proof we are continuing to offend?
Some people say “Once a cop, always a cop”. But, if you try and stop and shop lifter and yell “Stop I am a cop” you will probably be arrested because you are NO LONGER a cop.

In your heart you may still be a cop but that is up to how you feel. Do any of us in our heart still think we are sex offenders? If you do, then thanks for being honest but enjoy staying on the registry for the rest of your life and maybe afterwards.

I respect law enforcement but when Sheriffs start putting their personal feelings into situations , it is as bad as a judge sentencing you with their feelings instead of what they law says (How I got my sentenced shortened on appeal)
