It is even more curious when you search and find out that the population of Montana was almost unchanged in those five years.

In reply to Tearfuleagle. I'm curious to know what Florida's percentage is over the last 5 years is.

In reply to Psalms 91. This would have to be a legislative effort, not a legal challenge. SONRA is a floor, not a ceiling. It authorizes states to make their own laws that are harsher than the federal laws. There's no suit.

To me, if some people are falling off and the increase is only 8.1% over five years I would see that as significant. Florida’s percentage is? I would say over 25% over the last 5 years

This may be off the subject, but how does Florida begin to adopt SORNAS tier system. This would also help release many PFR off of the registry. How do we file this petition or suit?

Not surprising when you consider the standard of evidence in sex cases is pretty much non-existent (in practice, if not law) and the prevalence of those stupid bait-and-switch stings.

I bet to believe some legislator in Montana is keeping tabs on this and getting ready to introduce legislation that further deprives registrants of constitutional and human rights. Aside from that what type of work is one able to find in Montana? Ranch hand on a dude ranch??

The part to also remember is that there is most likely a large % increase of homeless, jobless and mentally stressed individuals. Such a backward system. Then remove all proven safety nets that decrease recidivism.

We really need a tier system in Florida because there are so many people on the registry with level one and Level offenses shouldn’t be there and then also that will give way to the people level three to force legislation to change in the future to allow them to get off as well.. It’s overkill in Florida.
