In reply to Fred. Fred I understand we all want the registry and restrictions to go away today; however that’s not possible. We must trust FAC and their legal team to find the best plaintiffs and cases to create change. It’s important that advocates and their families go to Tallahassee showing opposition to proposed bills. Florida registrants need to show up, stand up and speak out because FAC can’t do this by themselves. We might not get the results we want; but we must not never give in or up to our oppressors.

In reply to Fred.

What do you mean?
We’ve defeated a ton of bills, we won the Internet identifier challenge, we have three lawsuits going presently. The only case that was lost was the Miami-Dade residency restriction, but I don’t know of any other negatives.

why haven’t FAC had anything positive or changed during the decades that it has been fighting to have things changed and all the money raised to fight it with?

Sad truth is registrants with means to fight only care about fighting for themselves they don’t spend time researching how the regestry effects society as a whole they just want to distance themselves from the label and stigma we all face. Advocate Organisations are typically used by those of us who have little if anything besides time to lend to our own cause Mr Perry’s wife has money so I doubt he or she will be reaching out to any advocacy group anytime soon

In reply to Jacob. It's a complaint, not a motion. For a complaint, this should be sufficient.

Upon reading the complaint, Mr. Petty seems to have a winnable case. Most likely however, a win would only be for Mr. Petty and no one else. Even though a precedence may be established, it would seem to help only those in NYC.

Since the motion cites no case law, I assume the government’s response will cite tons of it. Other than that, I like how succinct it is.

NYS SORA provides for some due process that was not afforded to him, I guess they are saying.

Is there any way Kenneth can be contacted by FAC to make sure his case has the proper contacts with knowledgeable information so that this is not just pushed aside and the ruling is not just made considering this as an exception instead of a illegal policy ruling.

Is this going to create bad precedent? FAC Legal how do you like the complaint?
