Tennessee files ex post facto lawsuit

Eugene>>> They are all gonna have bigger problems coming soon. “May Day” or M.D. v State of Florida. What would happen if the states lost the 5/17/1996 Amendment? https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/PLAW-104publ145 I have a very good case for challenge. I’m New Jersey John Doe Retroactive Challengers of the Megans Law Tier Level 1 by a court ruling. They just took away Tier Level 1 with this Amendment but removed nothing on our side to equate that the Federal 3rd Cir. showed what was not punitive just the classification Tier 1. We have no ability for us not to be publicly shamed. The state of Florida placed me into a Level 2 making it punitive on me for the last 25 years. Read E.B. v Verniero E.B. was for Every Body. W.P. wasn’t ripe that was We the People.
There are no tiers in Florida!
John Doe>>> Actually there is that was changed in 2002 – 2003 I think it was? When I was classified an Offender by Florida. I asked where was my Due Process is an was told there is no process. They are a 2 Tier Non-Retroactive system started on 10/01/1997. By using the 5/17/1996 Federal Amendment that removed the Tier 1 because they saw 528 of us as Tier 1 out of 1172 in New Jersey. 3rd Circuit ruling showed what was not punitive only to retroactive so they took away Tier Level 1 who were not subjected to Public Humiliation right after we were all Tiered Federally with this Unconstitutional Amendment.
Please provide Florida Statue number where there are tiers
You are either an offender or predator a 2 Tier level system. They did away with what was considered a Tier Level 1 in the 5/17/1996 Federal Amendment for the Megans Law of 9/13/1994 Read the laws. I’m not an Attorney but I know how to read an interpret their laws against us. The 3rd Circuit ruling was a big help for us today. They couldn’t rule on anything after 9/13/94 only for people before Constitutional law. They showed what was non-punitive in their ruling. Level 2 and 3 are considered non-punitive on retroactive. There were 1172 retroactive 528 were Level 1. This is what they saw almost half would not be on the public registry an that made them mad. I’m just waiting to see what was ruled on these 2 challenges before I do anything.
Again please post the statue as I’m trying not to be mis informed. But again Florida does not have tiers unless you can somehow provide that statue. * FAC please chime in and help stop this misinformation. This is not first time this person states there are tiers in Florida
There is no tiers in the state of Florida. Just 2 levels. a Offender and a predator. Most laws have no differences between the 2 levels. Other then markings on drivers licenses and community notification. Some municipalities could have separate laws based on offender or predator but there is not a tier system in Florida.
John Doe – FC16, I was going to reply with some serious stuff that is about to happen but I felt it best not for it to be public right now. John Doe, use that name with honor here as I am one of the original John Doe Retroactive challengers of the Megans Law from New Jersey. That is “Ground Zero” if you do not know. I’m also an E.B. challenger in E.B.v Verniero in the Federal 3rd Cir. what showed what the Federal Government saw as non-punitive in Tier Level form. I’m not here to dispute or give false information, I’m here just give a bit of hope that one day 45% who are being punished with public notification be removed to get on with their lives. The May 17th, 1996 Amendment is what changed the registry system from a 3 level system into a 2 level system. This removed the level that had “not for public notification” but they didn’t remove anything to justify it’s removal potentially punishing 45% on the registry today. There is a whole lot more but let’s see where these 2 E.F cases go. I’m one who is before Federal Law 9/13/1994 as FDLE used their 1998 state law to enforce I register as I had to register in another state but then used Federal law against me as if I were convicted after 9/13/1994.

Allows you to view adult pornography while on probation. Seem like probation said don’t view it since treatment doesn’t allow it. But now it does I guess.
Eugene.. Government has limited authority. Sure if people want to view graphic pics of nudity that is their individual right. All human rights are indivisible and interdependent. One set of rights cannot be enjoyed without the other. Even the law of the commandments says Thou shall not covet. That should tell even a Greek scholar something or what is the law of vain abuse can one say this sex registry scenario.
One could go on to say all things are lawful but all things are not beneficial. In other words its a type of character abuse by mans government with much of this registry. Even holding prisoners after prison by this probation type ordeal.
Eugene>> I’m still reading what was filed I’m looking for the Expost Facto suits links. Might have a Federal one coming soon against Florida if they don’t back down. Were still in the fact finding who is liable stage but will be presenting a case soon to the Feds on it. This is what I can say. Florida is a non retroactive state. They can only go as far back as 9/13/1994 with their law without running into the Due Process Clause on the US Constitution. They can not enforce any law past that date without Due Process or honoring one from the retroactive state if they are using it to put that person on their registry. They are implying it is because they moved here in 2006 that they can enforce 2003 Federal laws on a 1992 conviction. Oh they put it in writing!!! “While it is understood this is not the answer you desire…” Oh the heck it’s not. Lee County put your feet into the fire and they just ran you under the BUS!! It was crazy cause they were just grasping at straws not knowing how to play this but then still being ballsy with their mumbo jumbo Florida Laws but not one of them ref before 9/13/94 an they still try to act tough an might makes right and your wrong because we say your wrong. My fight is almost over. I have Federal E.B. v Verniero on my side as a Tier 1 showing “Punitive” and more. 25 years in one week from tomorrow
Ok we got some movement on Does 1-5 vs Swearingen. But I don’t know what it means. https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/25861536/Does,_15_v_Swearingen
Has anyone heard of this case Harper v. Glass , 4:21-cv-85 (N.D. Fla. 2021) apparently the judge mentions it.
Ok I’m an idiot, Harper vs Glass is the doe II case. So basically I believe the Judge is formally acknowledging that the case is on pause following the outcome of the northern district case

With the curfew(8 hours in lock down), checking in at the Sheriff often, POs “visit” more, there is not a lot of difference in being in work release. May we applied in other ways.
