I wonder what he feels about people accused of sex crimes or FTR and their due process rights.

I think having women on our side helps especially if they have a talent to fight for registrants. Several women I know have asked me what they can do to help fight. Sarah is a huge asset to FAC media chair.

Yeah, glad to have all the fake news out their right?
Glad to see Fox news ‘edit in’ assault rifles in their photographs that didn’t exist in the originals in the protests right?
Someone once said “Beware of half-truths, because chances are you are going to believe the wrong half”

Sarah,

We need more women like Super Sarah to fight for our cause.

Fight the good fight to get off then some other states adds you back on to theirs.

THANK YOU MEDIA CHAIR!!!

Even with all the edits, glad to have it out there.

This is exactly why I decided to move out of Florida and if know anyone that has to register; I tell them and their families not to spend any money that benefits Florida’s economy. Florida needs a good swift kick in the butt when it comes to corruption and justice. Keeping people on the registry for life that visit; move away or have been crime free does nothing to protect people. Politicians say we shouldn’t brush law enforcement with a broad brush; same goes for registrants most are not a threat to society. It prevents people from healing and moving on with their lives making communities less safe.

Adios Florida

Tampa man avoids fine, sex offender label | June 10

This doesn’t keep kids safe

Florida law states that anyone with a sex crime who comes to Florida for three days or more has to register at a Sheriff’s Office, including being fingerprinted, photographed and turning over a great deal of personal information. How does putting someone on the Florida sex offender registry, someone who comes to Florida for a 4-day vacation at Disney World and returns to their state of residency, keep children safer?

Florida is one of the few states that requires lifetime registration. Many of these out-of-state visitors are no longer on the registry within their own state and are living lives as law-abiding citizens, but they will remain on Florida’s registry for the remainder of their lives. How is keeping these names on the Florida registry making children safer?

Why does Florida keep these different groups of people who are not living in the state of Florida on the registry? The revenue it brings in. Florida, as well as other states, receives federal, grant and private monies for each name on its registry.

This was the actual letter sent in to the Tampa Bay Times:

Concerning the recent Tampa Bay Times’ coverage of Ray La Vel James’ successful court ruling that allows him to avoid sex offender registration, Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren says, “We require sexual offenders to register so moms and dads can see if any live on the street. The ruling conflicts with the spirit of the law.”

If Warren is correct in saying this is the spirit of the law, then why does the Florida registry include people who have left the state, were deported, are in prison or are dead? In December of 2018, the Florida legislative auditor’s office released a report noting that 60 percent of those on the Florida registry live out of state, are in prison, or have been deported. At that time, there were more than 28,000 people on the registry that actually lived in a Florida community, whereas the registry contained the names of 73,000 people.

Florida law states that anyone with a sex crime who comes to Florida for three days or more has to register at a sheriff’s office, including being fingerprinted, photographed and turning over a great deal of personal information. How does putting someone on the Florida sex offender registry, who comes to Florida for a 4-day vacation at Disney World and returns to their state of residency, keep children safer? These out-of-state visitors will leave Florida before these “moms and dads can see if any live on their street.”

Florida is one of the few states that requires lifetime registration. Many of these out-of-state visitors are no longer on the registry within their own state and are living lives as law-abiding citizens, but they will remain on Florida’s registry for the remainder of their lives. How is keeping these names on the Florida registry making children safer?

How is keeping the names of deported or deceased registrants on the Florida registry making our children safer?

Why does Florida keep these different groups of people who are not living in the state of Florida on the registry? The revenue it brings in. Florida, as well as other states, receives federal, grant and private monies for each name on its registry. Florida differs from other states, though, in its padding of the numbers.

Sixty percent of the Florida registry brings in revenues while doing nothing to protect children. Is this the intent of the spirit of the law?
