It is like having two ex wives but the judge only granting you a divorce from one. For now, you are still married to Florida, albeit, via the registry. Be a shame to have to pay again to get off of Florida’s and here, depending on the judge, it is not a sure bet.

If you are denied, I saw a post here once that said you have to wait an additional 5 years to try again? (Meaning you will have then paid THREE times to get off the registry) Some of us will be pushing 70 by then. I was going to say I do not want to be rocking in a chair in a nursing home and finally get the news I no longer have to register. Then I remember we are NOT allowed in nursing homes.

I can make it even easier and save more money.

ABOLISH THE REGISTRY.

Until someone can find one single crime less registry violations that the registry either played a role in investigating (not prosecuting) or would have gone unsolved without it (as in providing information otherwise not available), it cannot be said that it does anything to prevent sex crime or aid LE in investigating them.

A tier system, more restrictions and obligations, or re-evaluating criteria won’t make the registry “work” any more than using different gas will make a chainsaw fix a flat tire.

That is partially not true. I say that because I have seen posts on here in the past where someone from out of state was able to get off of the Florida registry. I am sure it cost them a pretty penny and have the right lawyer and the right judge. In other words, the stars had to align, but it can be done.

That’s why I went ahead and came back to Florida, when I moved to San Diego, I was told I had to register there, and would still be on Florida’s registry. So I hopped back on the plane and said Adios Amigos to Cali after just 3 days of misleading paradise.

Crickets……………………….Hello? Anyone? yeah that is what Lee and me and all of us thought. No one can justify registries are not punishment unless they have walked in our shoes, lived the day to day lives we have and experienced the horrors of the registry’s effects on our and our families’ daily lives.
No one can judge what they have not experienced. So to make a blanket statement that the registry is non punitive is disrespectful and negligent of our rights. Ok I am done preaching. For now, anyway.

I am in California and I was placed on tier 1.

I hired Janice Bellucci to submit my petition for removal and it was granted (it took 6 months) and I am no longer required to register in California.

It was great having a birthday without having the burden of registering like a dog for once!

Now if I can get Florida to let me go (23 years crime free and no longer living in Florida for over 15 years) I will be able to move on with my life.

F Florida!

There is NO doubt that it is a money scheme in Florida.

To NOT allow those with effectively ZERO potential of being a danger to be removed from Florida’s registry listing is PROOF of this. PERIOD

It is life time probation without the potential of relief. It is cruel and usual punishment – regardless of what anyone or any group claims/thinks. PERIOD

Change my mind!

Yes..by definition they are however, I am on the Florida registry for life. I moved to California and naturally was forced to register (for life) BUT they went to a tiered registry and I petitioned to be removed.

I was removed and I no longer have to register in California – I am still under Florida’s thumb after 23 years (with a spotless record) YET I can NOT petition to get off there and get my life back (again I do not live there and have not for the past 15 years).

Basically my life is being held hostage in Florida!

Noted.

Also note that Bryne grants are awarded based on the number of registrants. Not sure if that applies to those publicly listed or not – I suspect it does, since not publicly listing “level 1” registrants is contrary to federal rule. That may or may not be a factor in such a large increase in Oregon’s registry.

Would just like to point out that, not everyone on the registry is a “Him”. So many seem to be shocked that there are females on registries.
