Quick question… I tried posting on the 9th but didn’t get a response, my question is If I were to go visit someone here in Florida, i do know I have to let them know where I’m going, my concern is are will her neighbors and landlord find out that I was there past 3 days, will my information pop up online for the neighbors of the person I wish to visit. I don’t want to put her in a bad situation with her landlord or her neighbors cause she is a stroke survivor and is confined to a wheelchair and I don’t want to jeopardize her living situation. I know I can visit for no more than 3 days, but what if I wanted to stay longer i just don’t want her to have any issues…any thoughts on this anyone
I would call and ask the local police department how they will do the verification process, explain the situation and see what they will do.
Okay yeah I think that would probably be best, I just don’t want her to end up losing her place over me coming over if I want to stay longer than 3 day’s. Thank you for taking the time to respond have a great day…Will
Absolutely never do any activity which would require you to register in Florida, you will never come off, even if you come off in you original state, The local sheriff will not only put you on the registry, they will book you into their criminal system and post a fake arrest record on the NCCI system.
If you must come to Florida only stay at one location for 2 nights then check out and go to another location. You can lead an unstable life like that as long as you need to and not be required to register.
Thank you for the response but sadly I live here in Tampa, I’m just concerned for her if this will affect her living status
Dozens of volunteers with Changing Homelessness, alongside other groups, will collect valuable data on the homeless population in Duval, Clay and Nassau counties this week. The counting will start on Tuesday [6/27] and go until Thursday [6/29].

Hello… where can my loved one find safe hotels/motels to stay at in Marion County? He will be there for work.
Hi Stacey,
Is he coming from another state or county in Florida? Either way, he will have to register the address as a temporary one with the Marion County Sheriff’s office. Additionally, Marion has a 1,500 foot residency ordinance:

The city of Ocala has the same restriction:

Seems sex crimes are on the rise in Tampa

“In fact, since January of this year, our agency responded to 59 calls for service at the address for everything from disturbances, to sex offender verifications, narcotics investigations, suspicious incidents, and trespassing”
“Now think about that for a minute…that’s 59 calls for services that were not only a waste of our taxpayer dollars, but also took our Deputies away from being able to patrol our streets and keep good law abiding citizens safe.” Sheriff Wayne Ivey
So sheriff Wayne seems to be saying sex offender verifications are a waste of money.
Article was a bunch of d*** thumping by law enforcement. I’m curious about the sex offender verification claim though, there wasn’t any mention of whom was an offender in the five they arrested. If this was a nuisance why wasn’t action taken earlier? And yeah, address verification is a waste.
I agree, it doesn’t make sense!
I did some research, and one of the people who was arrested for resistance is indeed a registrant. However, I still think that the whole statement by Sheriff Ivey is propaganda .
