After being on the registry over half my life, and only being 42 years old, my offense was indecent exposure, a flashing charge in other states, I am not surprised that Florida continues to punish the already punished. Please I would have wished I could have been there to ask these politically appointed officials when we talk about child safety what does this have to do with protecting schools? Instead of wasting time punishing people who have already served their time, why can’t we use this time, money, and resources on prevention of these crimes especially right now while we have school shootings continuing to rise.. in my opinion protecting our children schools is of the utmost importance and punishing us when we’ve already been punished doesn’t in my mind necessarily make children safer it just makes our life harder. God forbid there be another Mass school shooting in Florida, because then we can say well the time that you had to be able to prevent this you wasted on red Scarlet lettering licenses. Now maybe you’ll be ready to actively pursue prevention in our state???
Interesting that Maney tried to distinguish adultery with being a sex offender regarding the “scarlet letter” reference. But adultery is also a crime in Florida. See Fla. Stat. 798.01. I would love to see how far his bill would go if adulterers had to have red-lettering on their licenses.
I’m confused, what number has to do with traffic offenses? The last number of a Florida drivers license is how many people in the state have the same full name and birthday as you. Most people have a zero.
Correct. Send her an email! When you google this it comes up that in florida there is this urban legend that the last number means traffic offenses. Of course this is in the list after the real explanation.
This talks of this “urban legend” These people in government. It is joke.

Maney is clearly saying that he wants everyone, not just cops or officials, to be aware that I’m a ‘predator’ when they are near me. If he thought he could brand my forehead with a hot iron to identify me as such, without running into problems from the courts and ‘woke’ groups like the ACLU, I expect he would try to legislate that. This is a super clear case of compelled speech. If this becomes law, I suspect that check cashers, notaries, voting officials, and even some cops, who need to see my ID for whatever purpose, will insist that it’s a fake ID, and it will be up to me to successfully argue that I’m a ‘predator’ required to carry a unique type of license. Fortunately, I don’t get embarrassed about anything, ever – but still.
fascinating ..I remember watching the Stallone movie Time Cop and thinking it was a good SCI-FI movie BUT at no point in time did I expect it to be a role model for future governance. Do we really become safer as a society with laws that convict people of crimes that haven’t happened simply on the grounds of someone thinking that maybe they could have happened?
