Damn man, I was place on 2 years house arrest for a registry violation and successfully completed it no problem. But those 2 years I missed alot of time I could have spent with my kids outside the house. God has been good to me though. A wife, 2 babies and we bought a home 4 years ago. Keep on fighting brother. I’m patiently waiting for the system to crumble on itself.

When I was a cop, I always gave everyone the benefit of the doubt. There was no registry when I was in law enforcement but if there had been and they tried to assign me to a registry detail, I would have quit on the spot.

When I was on probation, I had a very tough probation officer but she never once violated me. I got chewed out a few times but that was it. One time she called me and asked where I was. I said at Disney with a family member.

I was never told I could not visit a theme park with my family and she lost her @#$* over that. I thought for sure I was done with. There was nothing in my paperwork saying I could not go anywhere I pleased (At the time the registry had just come out 1997, in Florida).

Yes, unfortunately I was arrested.

@Incognito – The time-served plea sound like you were actually arrested? I hope not, especially if you would affect your ability to get off of the registry one day. I also hope that you sent your experience to the email or phone number indicated in the post above, since we need evidence of these police transgressions. The only reason I haven’t had trouble with law enforcement is probably because I’ve removed myself from public life almost completely – staying locked in my house like a virtual prisoner.

Yes, read what happened to me in the comment above.

Not sure why this comment is posted here, BUT, either you are:
1) A criminal who willingly and knowingly violated the law and as such should be sentenced to prison as punishment.

Or

2) You have a mental illness and can’t control your actions and you should be remanded to a mental health treatment facility for care and hopefully reintegrated into society when deemed appropriate.

It is NOT appropriate to consider someone both. Either they can’t control themselves and need conundrum or they can and didn’t want to and need punishment. The state contradicts itself when it does both. But hey, we all know it’s all about punishment. They just don’t admit it or they wouldn’t be able to “justify it”.

Yes. 3 strikes law. And need to release the ones who took a plea they offered for lesser time and give them back probation and gain time since it’s a prison and not a hospital. Even the gaurds are confused as well as the nurse that is all they have. Noone mentioned civil commitment in any plea deal that they the State offered. When you took that plea deal. They are holding people against thiere will in a prison camp. It’s like the punishment of Jews. You can’t label someone and then commit them in case they Act up again. After they served thiere sentence. It’s against all Rules of Law.
