In reply to Jacob. Yep! I represented Registered Citizens on the URL lawsuit Jacob's mentioned and won.

In reply to Jacob.

It is like the bully who beats you up when you are a kid. You run away crying, keep getting beat up, or stand up for yourself and fight with all you got,no matter how much it hurts.
Eventually the bully will realize they have to go find someone else to pick on.
Law makers are the bullies. Yes sometimes cops can be jerks but they did not make the laws, they are tasked to enforce them. I am sure most of them would rather be patrolling , looking for bad guys or responding to robbery calls than checking in on sex offenders. Although I am sure there are a few that get off on harassing us.

Nothing will change in Floriduh (especially SEFL) until the Books are out of power, which won’t be any time soon. I’m sure Lauren will run unopposed again and Ron will remain a power player as long as he’s alive. If the ACLU can’t beat the Books, all is lost.

In reply to Senator Lauren Book Spreads Lies and Hate. Lawsuits force change. That’s why we don’t have to register practically every URL we visit, as the legislature had intended. It’s why the state can’t stamp “sex offender” on every registrant’s license, why Georgia sheriffs took down Halloween signs, etc., etc. In California, lawsuits and the threat thereof are why they no longer have to deal with banishment laws, residency restrictions. Let’s keep working to force the change, folks.

I liStened to the podcast. Interesting to me to listen to the point of view of it being a legal only matter without personal stake. I really hope for those living in that area they can do something. Unless the state mandates no residency restrictions I’m afraid that counties would still try to enact restrictions. I live in Volusia and the deputies are fine, but the sheriff, the one you see on TV every chance he gets, is a little extreme.

So it's been a decade and no progress when it was so obvious to the most hardened sceptic that these "laws" are abuse, cruel, and simply vindictive - YET - as stated little if any improvement. This is Florida we are talking about so it should come as no surprise. Corrupt self-serving "leaders" like Senator Lauren Book have NO INTEREST in change - it's simply not in their business plan! Slavery was once perfectly legal but that didn't make it morally right and we fought a civil war about it! Well the south has learned NOTHING and they need to be forced to stop this human rights abuse of American citizens! PERIOD It's all crap as this article shows and it must be attacked for what it is which is human rights violations by the American government on a select group of American citizens! Slavery targeted blacks and provided cheap labor and now it is those labelled "sex offenders" who corrupt and souless individuals are using to make money! WTF year is it again in Florida? If you still hold out any hope of change there then I have some great real estate to sell you in the Everglades - just watch out of the reptiles like Senator Book! Nothing is changing there until they are forced to change - logic and compassion are unknown to those in Florida government.
