Filed by FL’s registry-removal guru, Ron Kleiner.
Between Ron and Does attorneys, grateful for our legal all-star team.
Congratulations FAC! We appreciate you all and thank you!
And to all….DONATE. Without $$ this can not happen. Even $5 makes a difference.
The only reason FL does that is to fraudulently collect federal funds.
That argument will likely never be permitted. The government gets to claim that what they say they are doing and the reasons for it are the “truth.” What we have to do is prove that even if they say that. it doesn’t matter. Law is bad from the get go. “As applied” means very little or nothing in our case.
Very glad to hear this good news!! I am in that category – convicted in Florida, but have been in California the last 20 years. Very anxious to get the Hell off of Florida’s “Forever” Registry!!
awesome david!!! my sister lives in la, I have thought about moving out there. I live in nebraska now. I too was convicted in Florida and would love to be forever off the injurious lifetime sex offender registry!
Make sure that you moive someplace where you can actually get off the registry like Vermont or Georgia. LOL Where is gets interesting is the “Federal registry” Folks say that the Feds only require you to register in the sate where you live and that is how they “national registry” gets populated….in theory. I have heard that the law also says if you are a Fed 25 year guy, you have to register for 25 years after conviction, not after release from sanctions. For me that would be 2025 when I Was 64. Better than2031 which would be 25 for me in Florida after release from sanctions. BUT we know that is not automatic. BUT, if you are removed from ALL state registration, how can the Feds force you to register for more time, at least under the current system? Big IF there.
They can’t. Feds have tried but have failed. States consider the Adam Walsh Act a requirement for YOU to check in and register with the new state. It does not comple the State to actually list you on the registery if it does not see fit to. States don’t want to clog up their registries merely by a decision from another state, costing them more money just because Florida insists on being overly punitive and archaic. There are several crimes in Florida that are not even crimes in other states.
The problem is that even though the Flordia law appears to not be technically in compliance with the Federal mandates, regs, etc., the Feds will either not agree with that, or they will say that Florida is “subtantially compliant” so the Florida law should not be struck down for that reason.
Wow just wow. He was hired at a law enforcement agency knowing he had a record, but because the registry caused issues with people complaining, he was fired? I think they wrote my own story.
Although I no longer work in law enforcement, I was in the past. But I finally got a good job and was there for almost 17 years, that is until someone came into the business (A huge place open to the public, something similar to Costco) and hung flyers about me on every single isle of the store. That was the end of my job.
This young mans story shows how we are never allowed to heal. he married the young woman he had been with and even had a child together. No second chances for the weary, the down trodden, the homeless or the once convicted.
I mean COME ON! a Police department gave this young man a chance of a lifetime, and he did NOT lie as far as I read. And yet the stupid NON punishment (As ruled by most courts) punished him. What did Homer Simpson say with a slap to the head ? DOH!
Much respect for our courageous NAMED plaintiff! Quite an example set.
