NJ: Another state [BESIDES FLORIDUH] says you can’t move the finish line!!!

Michigan’s [NOT FLORIDUH’s] pre-2021 SORA is DECLARED to be punishment!

I will get jumped on saying this, but from personal experience, the LAW does NOT matter. What matters is , the way a JUDGE interprets the law. That happened to me. I finally won but it took 10 years and so many 1000’s of dollars that it took me 20 years to recover.
That is also proven when one state with the same registry, makes a ruling like this, but we with a force like FAC go with lawyers on an ex post facto case and the judge says “Too bad you waited too long”. But, but, we were TOLD we had to wait a certain amount of time before we could petition. Then we do and get told too bad too sad.
Some of the judges are worse crooks than the people they sentence. (Not naming any in case a judge, sheriff, prosecutor, Satan or the Books are reading this)

In reply to Gerald. ABSO-FLIPPIN-LUTELY! I have always contended that a plea is a contact that was entered into by two parties. If one party breaks the contract, the contract should become null and void with no harm befalling the other (compliant) party. CONTRACT LAW SHOULD APPLY!!!

In reply to Pariah.001.

I feel your pain.

I went from having to register only once when I got out (and for law enforcement use only). Then two times per year, then four times. Not to mention they have taken away freedoms of where I can work or volunteer. Also all of the other crap…

I feel your pain.

The vast majority of cases are decided by plea. Those pleas are obviously based on what the law is are the time of the plea. I’ve always felt that if the state decides to change the terms of your sentence later, shouldn’t you then be permitted to withdraw your plea? It’s only fair.

Man Iv been on the registry since the day it started in FL. They have moved the damn goal post so many times I can’t see it anymore.. And for good measure made all these laws retroactive. Id like to see a verdict like this in Florida sometime before I die..

Justice always wins – eventually
because
Truth always wins – eventually.

The flagrant violations of my rights does not aid the victims of my crimes. It can only feed a twisted sense of revenge.
(Because 2 wrongs do not make a right.)

Thought #2

How come they “Cannot change the time line” but can “Retroactively” apply the registry at all. Those of us who had no registry when we were sentenced but did when released were cornswaggled.

The time line should apply to the entire registry, not just parts of it.

I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS!! Ignorance of the law not being an excuse goes out the Flippin’ window when they pass laws later and then apply them retroactively. We cannot possibly know what laws are coming in the next year, two, ten, twenty…

I’ve often hoped a lawyer would argue that the ‘ignorance of the law’ policy was abandoned the moment the government made a law retroactive.
