Yes, we must ban pastors. How dare they try and help someone get back on their feet. (Sarcasm to the max)
If you do something wrong, you get in trouble. If you do something good, seems you still get in trouble. 
Is that what they call a &quot;No win&quot; situation or a scenario where no matter what you do you are damned if you do and damned if you don&#039;t.]]></description>

@TIM

When I was on probation, I didn&#039;t have that many rules, requirements and regulations. Of course, that was 23 years ago, and a lot has changed. But what they are doing is so far-fetched, that next they will want to deport people on the registry.

I have said this before but there are 67 counties in Florida and every one of them seems to have different or add on requirements. Even the F.D.L.E probably doesn&#039;t know what is going on in some counties but maybe looking the other way or being complacent.

I cannot give an example but in the past there have been people arrested that were on the registry and law enforcement arrested them for some B.S rule. Some of them got the charges dropped, but any arrest, even if dropped, can cause you to never be removed from the registry. (Although a while back someone who had a violation said they had still gotten a judge to remove them from registration)

Finally, the registry created a whole new line of career, for police and others as full time registration enforcers, registration offices and compliance officers. I have no idea how much money they are making on us but I am sure it is in the Billions nationwide since the registry started.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hold the effin phone. So you mean to tell me that we cannot even drive through a school zone on our way to work or any other fitting scenario? I thought we cannot allowed to reside that close to a school. I was not aware that I can&#039;t visit a convenient store or restaurant that is right across the street from a school. This case will be thrown out. There&#039;s a difference between conducting business and loitering. Baldwin County is over reaching. I would sue the county and Sheriff&#039;s. Not jus monetarily but going after jobs as well. I hope this pastor can get a good lawyer for everyone involved. This is getting nuts.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[and yet they still claim it is civil and not penal.. the hypocrisy is never ending..  the more they push the more I would absolutely love to see exactly which elites are on those Epstein Island records and which Senators and Congressmen were involved in paying off their s3x crimes with taxpayer money in those multiple tax payer funded slush funds they managed to shush shush real quick..  if anyone has a way to get legit information on either and is scared to go public let me know. I would love to make them famous for all the right reasons. Only way they will stop terrorizing Americans is when they are also forced into the accountability they foist on others..]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Back in 2016 a man forced to register from Athens AL working as a volunteer firefighter was arrested for taking a service call too close to a school. They ultimately dropped the charges three years later. 

Maybe with some pressure we can get them to drop the charges sooner.]]></description>

Free Exercise Clause protects individuals from government interference in their religious practices.
I know this was not particularly church services, however the pastor was guiding and looking out for these people and pretty sure none of them were going to sneak off behind the building and commit a sex offense. 
They are acting like we are all wanting to hang out on the corner day care or something with all these insane restrictions. Also, if someone is hell bent on re-offending, no law is going to stop that person.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[He must have known the day care was there prior based upon the warning he received from LE about PFRs working in his store (in the story).  Still goes to show there needs to be a map for all to know the exclusion zones and what they consist of with addresses of these valid entities that create them.  You cannot abide by the law if you don&#039;t know where the lines are literally drawn and when they are applicable, e.g., open hours of operation.  

With all of this, this example shows the vagueness of the law when it comes to a day care, as an example, being used as a valid entity to extend an exclusion zone.  The law says day care, but not when the day care is in operation, which is overbroad and overreaching.  You cannot have an entity be used to extend an exclusion zone when it is not in operation.   The least restrictive way to apply the law would be during operational hours only, not all day/night any day of the week. 

It may be just me, but I believe that is a lawsuit in the wings waiting to happen.  You cannot just sit on the day care definition to hold a spot (whether by license or physical space) when it is not being physically used as such to create hardship on people anytime one wants.   This could apply to a school, park, etc, IMO.]]></description>
