In reply to Florida Action Committee. The STATE imposes lifetime residency restrictions by statute for anyone sentence after the law was changed.

In reply to JoeM. Most Counties in Fl impose lifetime residency restrictions retroactively.

They were in trouble the minute they used the term “supervision.” In an amazing moment of clarity and sensibility, the State of Florida and some of the more intelligent counties and cities chose not to try to impose lifetime residency restrictions on people who had been convicted in Florida prior to like 2004.Why? Because residency restrictions prior to the changes in the law had been statutorily mandated special conditions of probation/parole aka supervision. Terms and conditions of supervision/probation/parole are PUNISHMENT and cannot be changed barring some violation and there is substantial case law out there to back that up.

In reply to Capt Charles Robert Munsey USN (Ret).

This really vividly illustrates what evil vindictive control freaks law enforcement really is. This has nothing to do with the BS marketing line “think of the children” but everything to do with life long PUNISHMENT of an artificially created CLASS of American citizens!

This is the most abuse of power I have seen in a long time! Really pathetic Missouri!

In reply to RayO. That's a great question for a MO licenses criminal or post-conviction attorney. Hopefully someone will find out more and share their experiences.

Are those who are not under any MO state sanctions (probation, parole, etc.), and who have legally moved to another state, being required to move back to MO or to return to MO temporarily for some other reason? Even though MO can continue to register them after they leave, are the ex offenders under MO jurisdiction in any way? Are they not free to stay away from MO forever?

In reply to Anonymous. Little do they know but the MO 'do-gooders' are doing the RSO's a favor. No way is this law even approaching constitutionality.

A law that will bring RSOs from other states and nations aaaalllll the way back to Misery so they can have a bracelet slapped on. And here we were thinking nobody wanted them around.

Even worse, charge with a new “crime” those who cannot afford to come all the way back to Misery, or maybe aren’t even aware that they are supposed to. If they are like most states, they aren’t tracking those who leave once they leave, that is up to the new state of residence. So we can assume here that no notifications will be sent.

A bona fide scam.

Anyway, thank you, MO, for ensuring the 8th district has a shining example of a punitive registry. This could help procure another court opinion that registries are punitive. Also, another opportunity to bring the “frightening and high” statistic in front of a US court to start setting a more reality-based precedent. Maybe, just maybe.
