I would stop for a simple traffic violation. And then when the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office saw my identifier down on the bottom of my driver’s license and when he called me up on his computer the red flags came on. At first he was very nice and cordial doing it professional job but then once he saw my identifier this whole Attitude Change to where he had to have the authoritarian officer not the one that was a minute ago. I was harassed I was pulled out of the car put in handcuffs and then I had the canine dogs come over and go through my car for no apparent reason. When I asked the officer why he was doing this he says you know why you SO.

In reply to Jm. Thats total BS from your local county. You can go in anytime in your registration month. You allready had your trip and travel reported. Sounds like Harrasment.

JN – it is correct.

I waited for months to get an appointment with a medical specialist. When she noticed the designation on my ID the temperature in the room dropped about 50 degrees. She stopped listening to me at that point and immediately dismissed everything I had to say about my condition after that and effectively refused to treat me.

In reply to FAC Contributor #3. Is this correct? If you stay in the same place for 3 or more days CONSECUTIVELY, you will have established a new permanent residence and will have to report pursuant to Florida Law.

In reply to JZ. Well i was just recently forced to fly back to florida for an address verification even though my travel was registered. That was for local pd. Sheriffs office told me if i leave before my scheduled bi annual that month i need to get back and re register. Ive actually had to do that: return from my summer travel to do the bi annual registration and go back to my trip. Thats my issue with the registration. When i do my three day or more requirement at a certain time i still need to go back anyway. When i travel now they tell me i need to go back even if its just the three or four days into the office to present myself and that a call that ive arrived may not be good enough anymore. They say i may be subject to a warrant if they so decide so its best i leave it open ended and come back straight to the office the day i return.

Just wanted to add something about the three-day per calendar year rule for transient residences. If you don’t want to or can’t report your destination, not only will you have to change hotels/addresses, but you also will have to change counties where the hotels/addresses are located. This is a major deterrent to travel and de-facto house arrest. If this is not cruel and unusual, I don’t know what is.
