Is your Sheriff’s Office requiring an itinerary for DOMESTIC travel?

When I took my ‘nostalgia trip’…driving tour of the east coast…I was asked to provide the names and locations of the motels I would be staying in. I told the Brevard County SORT rep that I had no clue as to where I would be staying. I would stay whenever and where ever I was when I got tired of driving. They then told me to report my location…motel name, address, and room number each night, via email. I did so and had no problems. I had no problems checking into the motels. As long as they got paid they didn’t care what was on my drivers license. The motels were always friendly. Florida seems to try to make a lot of something out of nothing.
I mean, it makes sense if you believe in Registries. The law enforcement criminals (LECs) want to know where you are “living” at all times so that they may inform the public to fake “protect” them. So if you stay in some hotel far from your home for a week, the hotel needs to blast out a warning for everyone. Supposedly. As they lie.
Having said that, reporting your location to LECs every day FOR ANY REASON is 100% unacceptable in America. I would make them pay dearly for that. They wouldn’t have a choice.
And if you think about it, it’s just asinine. How did e-mailing the idiots every day protect anyone? A person could very, very, very, very easily commit any crime 1,000 miles from any location they were at on any given day. It’s just flat out stupid. Stupid theater for stupid people.
If a person is not on probation or parole, this idiocy is not acceptable. Make them pay.
Will, you are 100% correct. I am not on probation and let them know I was leaving the state for vacation. The requirement placed on me to report daily made no one any safer, however, I did not want to ‘throw sand into the gearbox’ two days prior travel. Most of the sheriff’s reps in Brevard County are pretty decent people, just doing what they are told to do. Can’t say the same for probation. Thank God that is behind me. Between the county board of commissioners and probation, they do what they can to destroy lives and families. I have asked for a meeting with any one of the county commission members and they are too coward to respond. That’s what happens when they know they are in the wrong.
I live in polk county florida, I have asked about this before when I considered a cdl career. I was told by the sheriff’s office that anytime I would leave the state I would have to supply exact route and all details on that travel even if I were to fly out of state and each visit is 5 bucks a pop. I dont know if I misunderstand the actual question, but the officer even bragged about how they followed people so they can bust them for any slight detours
Ok so we now know this isn’t a isolated incident so what do we do when local Sheriffs offices and FDLE are breaking the law
I think the ultimate answer is that the law enforcement criminals (LECs) are going to have to be controlled by the courts, as usual. They’ll have to be sued and punished.
But in the meantime, what I always do is write to the LECs, their attorneys, and whomever supervises them and controls their budgets (e.g. county executives and their attorneys). I ask them to show me the law that supports what they are doing. If I’m very sure they are wrong, I will say so and ask them to stop. In any case, if/once I find that they cannot support their actions, I’ll write again to ask them to stop. If they don’t respond correctly, I’ll have an attorney contact them. That is all it has taken so far. They don’t want to lose in court and have to start following the law in all cases. So they will slink away like the criminals that they are.
It seems to me that each one of these incidents of the respective Sheriff’s breaking the law should be forwarded to US Attorney General Bill Barr for investigations into the infringements upon the civil rights or liberties of those affected.

When my son was on probation he was required to provide to his PO. He also provided flight number detail, dates, destination , address where staying.
Once off paper was required to provide dates and destination to sheriffs. That’s all as I recall.

Gail Thank you for what you are doing for us ! And Thank your helpers too
Gail is nice to see you chime in once in a while. Don’t be a stranger.
Happy thanksgiving
We have a real asset to be proud of in Gail. What a wonderful individual!
Might not be relevant but my partner is on probation and can’t leave the county(Polk) without “permission”. We have traveled only once out of state to my family in Georgia and we had to give hotel info, my families phone numbers….and the PO called the hotel…all in all very embarrassing but we just thought if you want to go give them all the info you can, we were not doing anything wrong so nothing to hide. Thought it was probably the norm….
Thanks John – probation is different.
Being registered in multiple states travel between states is not questioned. With registration in only one state, travel for more than 3 days is under scrutiny.
