Looks like we are back to in person registration in Santa Rosa County. I set my appointment for October 1st and was told I had to come in but it was okay to wear a mask. The staff is still the kind and professional pair they have always been. One of the few decent things about all this.

I report in Broward every three months and in June it was back in the Court House. Like others, my wait was very short as I was only one there. The staff are very pleasant and understanding – maybe because I’ve been going there for over 15 years. They have masks on and added plexiglass shields on the desk. BTW, in Weston, the Sherriff comes by every! month. However since the pandemic began, we haven’t seen any deputies at the house…but no explanation either.

Yep, you’d want to try to cover yourself if that was legally required. So announce it at the beginning of the call and get their agreement. No honest person should have a problem with it. Of course LE is not honest, so who knows if they would or not.

Regardless of legality or not, I would never have a conversation with the criminal regimes without recording it. It might not be admissible in court but I’d make sure my attorney heard it. I’d make sure everyone else knew I had it recorded also and give an exact transcript of what it said. But if it was illegal, they’d never find any actual proof that I had a recording. They’d know it, but they couldn’t prove it. I would expose them for the liars they are.

I agree completely. But unfortunately it seems like it would be nearly impossible to prove where you caught the virus. If you could prove that you caught it in their facility then I would hope you could sue the living hell out of them. But probably wouldn’t be able to. That is very unfortunate, because if you did catch it there, they are guilty and they should pay consequences.

If I was worried about them coming to my home and possibly infecting me, I wouldn’t let them near me. Not anywhere else either.

Anger is always justified. Just need to act on it.

Advise them that you are recording and they will watch what they are saying. Makes the whole effort useless. Another example of a law that contributes to the negation of justice.

I would not wish this thing on anyone. Even if I did, and they got infected, it would have collateral consequences on their family members and (especially) county inmates. And it sure as heck wouldn’t result in any better registration laws.

I get the frustration, tho.

You may need directions from the south entrance, and if you’re bashful using a term like “sex offenders,” you can instead ask for, say, “fingerprinting office” and they can direct you. As usual, St Johns is more efficient and respectful than some other counties’ registration, just be sure to allow yourself a few minutes extra to wind your way through the building. A full printout will be provided upon completion of registration.
