In reply to Al.

“..listed his identifer just forgot to say what website it was to.”

I find this particularly interesting, since the FDLE site where you register your internet identifiers has done away with the field to say at which site the identifier you are registering is being used.

The last identifier I registered shows “unknown” under the provider field, simply because there is no place for me to fill in that blank anymore.

In reply to David M. Pretty sure that hasn't passed already. Still, it doesn't matter. If you ask me, a felony charge and prison time for failure to register proves that the system is punitive in nature and therefore unconstitutional.

In reply to Florida Action Committee.

Child safety act. Increased penalty for failure to register and increased penalties if it’s a repeat offense.

My friend got 5 years probation for failure to register an internet identifier…his crime was 24 years ago long before these laws and was non violent. 22 year later he registered his identifiers,but forgot 1 website..listed his identifer just forgot to say what website it was to. He never had any other sex offense crimes in 24 years. He got 5 yrs probabtion. He would have never accepted the negotiated plea 24 yrs ago if he had known there was going to be a life registry

No wonder violent crime is out of control. Law enforcement is too busy chasing down the ‘easy targets’. Why risk one’s life when you can make an arrest for someone not updating an address or drivers license and then go home feeling as though the public has been served?

They just increased the federal penalty to ten years. I’m not even sure it passed. The resentecing punitive laws change so often lawyers can’t keep track let alone normal people.

Imagine being resentced for ten years for failure to register on a misdemeanor originally that you could only max out at 90 days or two years? Two decades later…. Nah that’s not punitive or illegal because it’s strictly regulatory.
