Our Legal Committee is known for their good judgment and for standing their ground. Their updates are always valuable.

Legal committee is working on an update. One thing about our legal committee — they never give up.

Do we have an update from FAC on this challenge, or should members draw their own conclusions from the docket?

I’m still wondering why our out-of-stater voluntarily dismissed his own challenge.

Anyone?

Just my opinion and thoughts but. I bet they reached a deal. Drop your case (Because if he won it, it would open a can of worms) and we will grant YOU, and only you relief. They would rather lose one person on the registry than a loss in court affecting 1000s of registrants.

Correction: not in FDLE search feature but still broadcast on google.

What’s the story FAC Legal? Do we need to get Ron a different plaintiff?

Did he win? He does not seem to be on the registry any longer.

What is this about? Why did the plaintiff dismiss?

Court has never declared FL’s registry non-punitive to out-of-staters.

You do know why this suit’s been brought, right?

]]> By: rpsabq https://floridaactioncommittee.org/motion-to-dismiss-filed-in-out-of-state-challenge/comment-page-1/#comment-43788 Sat, 11 Sep 2021 09:45:39 +0000 https://floridaactioncommittee.org/?p=16118#comment-43788 I predict the dismissal will be granted. Once again this is a case which is asking judges to end a specific punitive effect (name placed on a website) of a registry scheme that the Court has already declared non-punitive. So whether it be living under a bridge, denied housing or losing a job due to ones presence on a public registry displayed via a website, it’s all considered the natural consequences of a crime for which they were convicted and considered public information handled under laws considered to be civil in nature.

We tend to fail to see the forest for the trees. We need the Courts to acknowledge this is punishment (the forest) and then all of these horrible effects will end (the trees.)

The sex offender registry is a form of punishment, THAT’S why you can’t keep someone’s name on the registry after they move out of the State. If we simply ask the Court to say that then the myriad of life restricting issues suddenly fall into their proper category: PUNISHMENT. After that the Law takes over.
