Far less onerous. It is not lifetime. In Florida only, registrant can just cross state lines and be done with it. Will they get other states to get on board? Maybe.
Violations are a misdemeanors (although that his how Florida SOR started too.)
Funny how she does not advocate for drunk driving registries.

Dirty politics at it again. Apparently the Governors brother in law in Oregon got in trouble then the Governor didn’t like the results.

Salem, Massachusetts (not Salem, Oregon).
There was no “Deval Patrick, Governor of Oregon”; Deval Patrick was the Governor of Massachusetts. Salem News is headquartered in Danvers, MA. (Fine print, bottom of webpage.)
The WAR vigil in Washington DC is going well. Yesterday many of us went to talk to lawmakers on capitol hill. Today, we will hold a mock funeral on the steps of the supreme court to commemorate 20 years since Smith v Doe.
We heard talks from many informed speakers.
This conference has been a sound success!
Thank you for the updates
I am glad that so many decided to carry on with this. I thought once ACSOL dropped out that was the end of it. Glad to see that was not the case. My guess and hope is now that it has been done and shown to have gone well, that this might happen again.
Cool!
I liked the story/report on City of Gainesville, Fl changing the the 2500 foot rule to 1000 feet. I can’t find a property to buy because it always to close to live near a child-related facility (i.e. church, daycare,etc). Why doesn’t the State of Floriday change it to all cities? Dan Sinclair
Has anyone ever challenged residency laws based on the fact that they is a clear violation Article 1 Section 2 (Basic rights) of the Florida Constitution. All US Citizens living in Florida have a constitutional right to acquire, possess and protect property.

And now it is also a clear violation of newly passed FS70.002 (Property Owner Bill of Rights). , This statute add the protection of the right use and enjoy property too. Sheriff’s visits…Floridians now have this new statute which also gives them the right to exclude others from their property, so why not flex that right too!
