Leaving the state does not remove you from the registry. If it did, I think every one of us would leave. I would probably stay because my parents are elderly, and they are always calling me for an emergency or help with something.

There was one post in here from someone a while back who left Florida, “Still on Florida’s registry” then had to register in the new state. There are double standards, traps, loopholes and walking on hot coals for all of us on the registry just to wake up each day and try and not get ourselves arrested.

In reply to R.R..

That happened to me many years ago. I got a flat and the only place to pull over was at a school. Luckily it was a weekend and no one there. Un-luckily, 5 minutes later while I was waiting for roadside assistance, a city officer showed up. But again, luckily, he was super cool/chill and understood and he stayed with me until the repair guy came. (I know how to change a tire but impossible in a jacked up redneck pickup truck by yourself LOL)

Having said that, not every cop is a jerk, but some would arrest their own mother.

a long time ago when i had to move while house hunting St. Cloud passed a city ordnance that basically i could not live in the city. if FAC wants a small town to challenge then this could possible be 1 to start the ball rolling

Makes it impossible not to violate the law when you can’t even deal with a flat tire in a prohibited zone.
A good sample case to show the judge in the pending doe v. SWEARINGEN case

Brevard County has the same type of ordinance. The issue with this one is that an offender may not “loiter” within 1000’ of a school, park, playground, daycare, ect.
There are very specific, narrowly written exceptions as to what’s allowable for an offender to be in the zone.
If none of those criteria apply then anything other than driving directly through the zone is prohibited.
Two brave FAC members had to file a suit a year or so ago so we could simply attend county commission meetings. There’s still a series of hoops that you have to jump through to legally attend a meeting.

The underlying problem is, laws and regulations are passed at all levels of government without a requiring a follow up peer-reviewed study within a stated period to determine if the law accomplished its purpose. If it hasn’t, the law is removed from the books.

Politicians pass laws to get re-elected. PERIOD.

I heard it said that judgement without mercy will be shown to those who are not merciful.

If Florida continues in it’s ways I would leave, shake the dust off your feet, and turn that state over for judgement. Don’t be caught up with them in their evil. Pride will be their downfall.
