But like you said in another post, in Florida our debt is never paid. In my sentence, the judge and DA did not see me as a threat. I am not on GPS, I was not required to move, no prison time, and the judge withheld adjudication on all counts. So in 2 more years, I am a free man, except for the life-long punishment of being on the registry.

That means difficulty in getting jobs, not being able to freely travel, not being able to go to parks, concerts, plays, or other public areas, not being able to ride my bike or jog along the roads, not being able to join gyms in my area, not being able to live where ever I would like to live, not being able to have a security gate without the sheriff having the code, not being able to buy and sell vehicles without reporting within 48 hours every time I do it, not being able to attend government meetings, not being able to freely travel to other states or countries, etc. etc etc.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In summation the cold hard facts of sex offenses and the registry is that one can NEVER pay their debt to society.  I have said since this journey began for me that we will not get support from the public until more and more of their loved ones end up in the system (and they will).  From the first time I had heard of the registry I thought it was wrong to post peoples info on the internet but other than that I did not know any details.  The general public is the same way but they will learn eventually....]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[England pushed their will on the colonist, 
Then the colonist armed them self&#039;s, and took their rights back...

Blacks have been screwed with for years, they learned to march, protest, even riot.
This in turn caused enough fear that the establishment had to give them concessions. 

Woman has learned to fight back, and are winning their rights in the work place and are bringing down men once thought in-touchable.

When we too have really had enough...we will summons up the courage to come out of hiding and take our rights back!
You are fooling your self&#039;s to think anything will be restored to you without a fight!

I for one am nearing that boiling point, it has been too easy all of these years to try and keep a low profile, and fly under the radar. Now 20 plus years have gone by, I have been deprived of my right to have a productive life, and the results to me are unacceptable. My debt has been paid, and then some.

I have always had remorse, and been ashamed of my crime,
now I have remorse, and shame that I put up with this BS.  

We all remember as kids, the bully only let us up when we bloodied his nose!

All of the wining, and crying is not, and will not loosen the grip of our oppressor. 

It&#039;s enough when we say it&#039;s enough!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This should be overturned as expost facto punishment and its weakness is that it&#039;s a fine...which must be part of the original sentence.

					<description><![CDATA[Totally relevant here:

Too Poor for Freedom: Sex Offender Registry and the Fourteenth Amendment
Introduction

Introduction 

If a school mandated uniforms and suspended a child too poor to afford them, there would be an uproar. Media would excoriate the school for denying the impoverished an education due to their financial circumstances. Many would wonder at the cost of a uniform relative to the school’s budget, suggesting that the school simply offer the child a simple uniform. As ever, our instinctive notions of justice and fair play seem to end at criminal court. In the state of Louisiana, a person required to register as a sex offender who cannot afford to do so, even if he or she turns himself or herself in to the police and asks for help, will be tried, found guilty, and sentenced to prison…

The rest is at: 
http://lawreview.law.lsu.edu/2016/10/11/too-poor-for-freedom-sex-offender-registry-and-the-fourteenth-amendment/

Failure to pay the $60 registration fee once is a misdemeanor (up to $500 and/or 6 months). Failure to pay any other fee is a felony with a mandatory minimum of 2 years, up to 10. 

Ludicrous.]]></description>
