    So,
    We now have a person in the highest office, as president, who stands presently having a criminal and civil background. Does anyone think that this will set or change precedence for those convicted and are being denied services?

    Note- I am neutral on who is there and this is NOT a political attack on anyone. Just a healthy thought that may spark a change.

      Not one bit. But I do wonder if the E. Jean Carroll case had been criminal, if he would have been allowed to vote. Florida law as I understand it, allowed Trump to vote in Florida because New York allowed him to vote.

      He will actually make things worse for anyone with any kind of conviction Everyone keeps forgetting, this is the “tough on crime” bunch. The real question is, how bad will it get?

      Those who voted for this certain someone are going to quickly find out how they shot themselves in the foot. Especially seeing how a large swath a society seems to think that someone has to be “convicted” of crime to exhibit a character flaw and thus be deemed “the enemy” in their eyes.

    Has anyone here, relocated to Ga and petitioned to be removed from the registry?

    I am hoping to do the petition myself, however if I can find an existing case , I can copy the format to file for removal.

      Iv researched this with a successful attourney in GA. He told me that when your leveled in GA that if your not a level 1 they won’t remove you. So that’s your first hurtle. He said he’s done hundreds of removal cases and they have never removed someone who’s not considered a level one.. The attourney is Brandon Thomas I beleiev he’s out of Atlanta.

        More interested in a successful case number or petitioner name as you can’t pull up cases by lawyer name.

        I need petitioner name.

    Scam alert:

    Earlier, I posted, “IMPORTANT” that there was a federal mandate telling people to do a secondary DNA have a federal warrant.

    It’s actually a scam. They’ll send you to a Coinstar machine in some grocery store to send them cash money.

    Beware, it’s a scam.

    The FDLE should be alerting people in the registry about it.

    IMPORTANT: Did anybody get a certified letter with an appointment date from your sheriff office in Florida announcing a 2021 federal mandate to collect DNA secondary DNA or for the first time from all registered sex offenders regardless of age of case ?
    And if you miss the appointment or didn’t receive the letter an immediate federal arrest warrant goes out to you that you can’t get out off even if you try to comply and all hell breaks lose ? They even ask to provide 1,500. cash

    Is a scam — the police will never ask to have you send cash money to them via Coinstar kiosks or by any other money transfer kiosk. By saying you violated some law mandate. It’s all a scam . It’s part of the stuff we have to deal with because we have no privacy rights and our private info is put out there for scammers to use.

      @ RR

      I will give them some of my DNA when I spit on their fake paperwork and send it back to them. They will be happy because they think I was stupid and provide my spit but in actuality, I let my dog Brutus lick the paper LOL

      I’m confused. Isn’t Coinstar for loose change.

    Cheorkee I understand your point about visiting relatives, course I have never tried to visit my brother in Florida or my other Sister in TN but if I needed to I’m sure there would be a way. Sure I was intimidated when I first got arrested back 14 yrs ago. Matter of fact the officer had to think of something to charge me with since I contradicted him. See I didn’t make a choice and he is the one that emphasized that.

    I made a decision. The cop said whats the difference. Than he said well he would have to think of something else to charge me with. I knew their game plan. See I don’t fear man but I do fear God and we do have a difference between the OT and the New as in teachings. As far as news about this registry are not all men created equal, are we not endowed with inalienable rights, or are we to be compounded by government injustice even being compromised by some plea deal, right to speak out, or are we all guilty. Much of this registry is government glossing over their abuse on mankind.

      Yes. Those clueless cops and “news” people think that PFR’s and sex offense probationers are the same people. There are only state rules for halloween for probationers. And no Marion county ordinances that I’m aware of.
