As an update – my son just got his visit (Seminole county). Once again they had the same old tired list of crap that only applies to those on probation. It makes me so angry. It is so lazy and disrespectful! Lazy because it is easier to make these folks think that these rules apply to them than to actually let them know which ones do and which one don’t. As I found out last year the LE does not even know the contents of the statute!!!! They argued with me and I read it directly to them while on the phone – did it make a difference – NO because here we are again! He did not have to sign but the message was clear – and wrong! Thanks for the rant lol

For one thing I think many of the LE depts are starting to realize that most of the “rules” only apply to those on probation (unless your county has an ordinance)

My County (Orange) did not come around last year and they won’t this year as well. Officials are starting to wake up to the fact probably the last day a child may be abused is Halloween being the fact the parents are waiting in the car or on your doorstep. But the media always makes a point of leading with a story of “Don’t go near our Houses” Best is to shut off your lights, go to bed early.. and don’t answer the door.

In reply to JZ. Idk if the sign has to be up if your not home? But if we don't sign the paper I don't see where we have to put sign up?

In reply to Rh.

I’m sure they will be enforcing it. As I stated in an earlier post:
I recently re-registered and surprisingly, there was no mention of Helloween. I suppose I will get a personal visit for that to sign the acknowledgement, as I have signed since 2010. 🙁

The way the entire ordinance reads, to me at least, is that if I am not going to be home on Helloween, I don’t have to put the sign in my yard. Anyone agree or disagree?

I went to re register yesterday and to my surprise they didn’t have me sign the paper about the Halloween sign to be posted on door? I’m wondering if duval county will be enforcing this? Anyone know?
