Is your Sheriff’s Office requiring an itinerary for DOMESTIC travel?
A member has reported that when advising his local Sheriff’s Office of DOMESTIC travel, he was asked to report his flight information and specific itinerary.
For INTERNATIONAL travel that information is required by statute, but to our knowledge not for domestic travel, nor has it every been requested in the past.
If you have been asked to supply information such as flight or hotel details for domestic travel, please let us know in the comments below.

With all the commentary everything is now perfectly clear as mud.
If people let LE do just whatever they feel like, then you are going to keep getting a lot of what we see in these comments. LE will do what you let them get away with. LE is not interested in operating within the law. So you have to know the law and ensure they don’t violate it.
It sounds as if most people are fine with allowing big government to do “compliance checks”, whether it is forced by law or not. Each to his own. That is probably the easiest route to take and each person has to pick their battles and what is important to them.
If you are going to allow “compliance checks”, then I think it is important that you never, ever respond to any notes, cards, or anything else that is left at your home. Do not let LE think they can just drop by your home whenever they feel like, drop off a note, and then you’ll call them as soon as you see it. I’ve never called them once in response to that. I simply save the card, note, whatever, and forget about it. Today, they know that I’m not going to respond to them.
It is just one of those things where there really is no good reason to do so. What if you respond 10 times in a row but then next time the card gets blown away? Then they come around 2 weeks later and ask you all kinds of questions. Just not worth it. Much better to set expectations.
Personally, I don’t want LE thinking they should ever be contacting me. I am not on probation or parole and I’m not going to have any type of relationship with them. I’ll show up at their offices when I’m forced to and I’ll give the information that is forced, only that and only in writing. And every single time I see them I will tell them how stupid and counterproductive it is. I want them to think they are wasting their time, feel bad about it, and have low morale. I want that.
One of the most intelligent replies so far, and I agree.
always asked for flight information and where I’m staying.
I have an idea, not sure it’s a good idea. For those of us that can take joy rides around Florida and stop at every police station in each town we pass through and say I am here to register as a sex offender. The ask were are you moving to or staying, and we reply, no I am not moving or planning on staying any where I am just passing through this town and seeing that all towns and county’s in this state have different laws and restrictions I just am afraid of breaking some law or restriction that I am not aware of so here I am, they will say something like there is no law that says you have to register if just passing through this town, then ask can I drive by schools and bus stops? Or nursing homes? If so I will need a detailed map on which roads I can not drive on. I don’t know,, just a thought that I have had for a while, do not think I can muster the courage to actually do it. But if enough of us do it it may help get the word out on how messed up and confusing all this is.,,,,,,,,,,
I don’t think many have the free time that you have.
I believe the answer to this question is to be found on the FDLE registration information, item # 20
“If I fail to register after crossing state lines I may be in violation of federal as well as state statutes.”
I do note though that the verbiage states ‘after’ crossing and not before .
I THINK they mean failing to register in the OTHER jurisdiction.
Crossing state lines, in itself, triggers no registration laws anywhere that I’m aware of.
Nobody is going to erect registration stations at state border crossings.
FAC, I agree that FDLE meant something other than what they said here.
“If you go out if the state for any reason you need to report it to your local sheriff’s office,” FDLE told someone. At least one sheriff’s office appears to have told someone the same.
This cannot be correct for those off parole or probation. There has to be a permanent, temporary, or transient residence as defined by the law. A two-day trip can not trigger a sheriff’s office reporting requirement.
It’s not correct.
