Donald Trump was just found guilty of sexual battery. Does that mean he has to register as a sex offender bring he lives in Florida? And if so, how can he travel freely on his campaigns?
[Moderator’s note: He was found liable in a civil trial].
It was a civil case, not criminal. So it doesn’t mean that he has to register.
OK, so the registry doesn’t apply?
No. It’s a civil case. It’s what’s rich people do to keep from going to Prison. Poor people don’t get sued civilly. We get prosecuted and go to prison. That lady just wanted his money anyway.
[Moderated]. We need to boycott any and all business that support the registry as well as our representatives who support tier 1 registration in Florida or any other state.
What happened to my reply to this post?
If you said something positive about Trump, it was probably censored. I’ve noticed whenever I say something negative about democrats on the ASCOL site, it doesn’t get published, yet posts slamming Trump are allowed in. Not sure if that’s the case here too, but if it is, it shouldn’t be that way. If people are allowed to disparage one political party, people should be allowed to disparage the other as well.
Not accusing FAC of anything, just giving my opinion while following the TOS guidelines.
No I didn’t say anything positive about trump
I’ve been a tier 1 from New Jersey since it started. I’m a New Jersey Megans Law, retroactive, B52, Tier Level 1 who was forced on the the Public Registry. I’ve been fighting with Lee County for years that they are not allowed to be making my conviction public record. I’ve been screamed at by Sgt. Booth. When I told her I had a court judgement that was granted to me by the Supreme Court that says your not allowed to make my conviction public record she flipped out on me. She screamed ” Listen here, my Supreme Court ruled my laws Constitutional and my Supreme Court over rules your Supreme Court. I will punish you to the fullest extent of my laws an if you don’t like it MOVE OUT OF MY STATE!!!” If you know, you know. I was convicted before 10/31/94 NJ State AND 9/13/94 Federal. If Congress is prohibited from creating Expose Facto how can FDLE enforce it Expose Facto? I’m one of the first who have an actual tier 1 civil judgement that was reduced from a low 2 to a Level 1 by the court. I’m one of the original 52 who challenged the prosecutor an had a reduced tier by the court.

Wonder if they will be charged
Ron Book was elected to the Tulane law HOF.
I’ve got gotten three registry scam calls today from this number.
813-365-7964. Just FYI.
Warning re: voting that’s now on the re-registration receipt (that you’re told to sign for). Sorry I don’t remember where this concern was first posted on FAC. However, here is the exact wording of the warning (in red):
‘Please be advised that as a registered sexual offender/sexual predator you may be ineligible to vote based on your criminal conviction. If you are ineligible to vote, and attempt to register to vote, or register and vote, you may be subject to arrest and prosecution for violation of 104.011, 104.15 F.S., etc. If you are unsure whether you are eligible to register to vote, or vote, you should consult with an attorney and seek legal guidance.’
So, nothing that we don’t already know.
As of current, if you only had one felony case and are not on probation or parole and had adjudication withheld, you can vote. If not, you have to write the clemency board and request for your civil rights to be stored. However, don’t take my world for it. Things can change very fast. Contact one the professional lawyers that FAC recommends and they will be able to guide you.
[Moderator’s note: The Florida Constitution states, “No person convicted of murder or a felony sexual offense shall be qualified to vote until restoration of civil rights”].
Imagine creating a government that is so big and incompetent that it cannot tell a person if he/she will be arrested and thrown into a prison if they simply want to exercise their right to vote. Imagine an incompetent government so big that it cannot interpret its own laws for the people they “serve” and tells them to hire a professional interpretter instead.

Good Day FAC
I am writing concerning the comment introduced by commentator #12.
What was asked for is very important but it is off topic as it came in under The call to action concerning LB’s amendment’s..
What was asked for is important and I think it should be a call to action on it’s own. It is getting muddy under all the comments on the other call to action.
We have all been in a charged up call to action. And for me a bit more clarity concerning this request is needed, it opens a whole new can of worms for me and others I am sure. As the freedom to travel is so important to so many of us.
Thanks again for all FAC does.
This is no complaint but a need to just put things in a proper perspective.
Thanks
