H1301/SB1226 Passes
Sadly, but not surprisingly, the Florida Legislature passed another stupid, punitive and unnecessary sex offender bill that will only enrich those in private prisons, the GPS vendors and the Books.
We put up a very strong and valiant effort reaching out to our legislators. We expected the wishes of their constituents would not be as compelling as the campaign contributions from Book, but all your letters and efforts will become very useful when it comes to a lawsuit.
Don’t despair… this is just more support for our lawsuit!

I said it as the bill was passing. Over-Optimism does not Trump reality. A sad day indeed. I am moving out of this state and once I have a way out of this country. My Grandparents came here for a better life but the “American Dream” is now an obscure bloated bureaucratic muck bloated for socialites to live a life of Posh in a bubble. This land is no longer meant for those that simply want to live. I am tired of my Fight or Flight being in overdrive because I am afraid of taking a misstep and losing one more day to this Crooked System!
Scared to Death of leaving but no other viable options.
Is there any chance to get a injunction? I know your governor has zero sympathy to RSOs but what about peppering him with letters and emails so as to have them as a matter of public record for down the road when your lawsuits come up…
the GPS monitoring sanction only bolsters the Ex Post Facto case
Here’s a thought. Not sure what all this bill refers to. I’m guessing it’s notifying the county you live in if you’re traveling somewhere in or out of state for more than 3 days?? In any event, 3 days, 5 days, 12 hours, it doesn’t matter. JUST DON’T FOLLOW THE DAMN LAW. REVOLT! That’s what our forefathers did. Boston Tea Party ring a bell? American Revolution? Where is the fighting spirit in the average citizen these days?? That’s why we have the problem we have now. Out of control government and politicians, because we the people have gotten too wrapped up in our own lives and jobs, careers, families, etc.. to give a damn. And we just continue to bend over and let the government ram laws up our you know what and taxes for as long as they can get away with it. And they continue to get away with it year after year. I say, just go travel wherever you want and screw the damn county you live in. Just don’t get pulled over and you’re fine. When I get off probation in June, I’m going on a loooooong road trip and the last thing I’m going to give a damn about is this new fu**ing law!
****And yes, I know what I’m going to get some smart alec responses about “well, you’ll just end up back in prison, or that all sounds nice until the shove you in a cop car and send you back to jail, blah, blah, blah. I don’t give a damn anymore, that’s the point. And neither should ya’ll. But yet, we just sit back and cower in fear and do what these morons tell us to do. Well, I for one, am sick of it and not doing it anymore.
I agree make them come get us…you got two that will stand…that’s a start…now we need to convince the rest…I buck already lol
Just make 1 law once and for all of what RSO’s can do and be done with it. Every year its more and more. These laws are after the fact laws of what they may do. Not one of these new restrictions are going to stop a 1st time offender. These laws are punishment plain and simple. Ive come to the conclusion that we cannot win. Death is when we will finally have peace.
you will remain on the registry even after you die.
True but I will not be around to deal with it any longer
Yes, the legacy of shame will continue unto the seventh generation!
The problem with this is that the State is receiving Federal funds for every man and woman listed in the registry, plain and simple. When that man or woman dies yet the State continues to receive Federal funds, the State then becomes a thief. It is the same when a man or woman moves from one state to another, but the previous state still continues to receive the same amount of funding because that man or woman is still listed in the registry. Double-dipping. Usury. Theft.
How do you integrate back into society, when the politicians keep trying to keep us down. What happens if you enter the hospital for several days. That is now considered your temporary residence. Are you then in violation? Drug pushers, who kill our young and adults alike, have a better chance than we do when they are released. So, don’t those who commit serious assault and other crimes not mentioned here. They want them back into society But not us. Ridiculous!! Where does it end? Honestly, it will never end as long as we have uneducated, ignorant politicians in office. But we must keep fighting the cause.
I was in the hospital for a month.. PO just turned my bracelet off since I was to sick to move.. then he filed travel papers when I had to travel out of town to stay at another hospital for 5 days
Spoke to the P/O last evening and asked about 3 day new law as husband is supposed to get a knee replacement later this year and told to expect 4-5 days in hospital. That was fine with 5 days, but how do we appear in person at sheriff and DMV now with only 3 days two nights. She shook her head and said ‘they will just have to learn how impossible this is for you’. Sympathy yes but how to handle yet unknown. Maybe have to go to judge first BEFORE hospitalization.
Time is finally on our side and the Books know it!! They’re making their final fruitless stabs. These little mole ordinances will all be gone soon!!!! And I lovvvve it!!!!!!!!!!!
J,
I’m sorry but I do not share your optimism. This legislative session has taught me that you can’t stop a bill from becoming law. All Blondie has to do is start fake crying and all the losers push the YEA button on ANYTHING she wants….f*cking sad that this little c*nt controls a state of over 20 million people.
