Marion County: You DO NOT need to provide this information.
A member from Marion County has reported that when registering, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office is requiring you to fill out a “supplemental report” that includes questions that ARE NOT required to be reported under Florida Statutes Sec. 943.0435 or 775.21.
These questions include the name and ages of people who live with you and whether you have a girlfriend and what her name is.
YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED to provide any information not required by statute and there is no reason to provide this information.
We encourage you to NOT to provide the names and ages of children or whether they live with you. You are not required to give the name and relationship of anyone that lives with you. You are not required to report if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend or identify who you date. Blood type, education level or gang affiliation. Military and marital status are not required to be disclosed. If you chose to provide this information, you are providing it voluntarily. If they threaten you with arrest or any other sanction for refusing to provide this information, please contact [email protected] immediately.

I know live in Arkansas and was registering myself as working in the city of Rogers (live and registered in another city). Besides the pertinent info I am required to list, they wanted the names, ages, and addresses of my immediate family. I politely, but firmly, refused to give that info. The officer taking my info didn’t give me any hassles and so far there has been no repercussions (60+ days have passed).
I forwarded your email to 3 of my friends also registrants.
Too late, Santa Rosa started this BS a year ago and without preamble I went ahead and gave it since they do not use this form, just ask and enter it on computer. I did ask afterwards and they said that the sheriff was asking for it all. I will not answer anything else ever again and I suppose we are protected by the 5th amendment on this, right?
This just goes to show police departments have absolutely no regard for law . They think they are the law and make up there own rules. That is why we have so many unwarranted killings and abuse by police all over this country. It is a disgrace.

Refuse To Sign
However, knowing the backwoods Marion County Sheriff’s office, if you refuse, you might get put in handcuffs. And even if you beat charges, you now have another arrest.
The question is, who are the REAL bad guys? When you make up your own laws and rules to pad arrests or harrass people, you are no better than those you seek to arrest.
Oh please dont forget… Signed under duress. That puts your consent to sign into a questionable category. Just adding my .02
This is the rise of American Stasi in modern law enforcement.
