CJ:
I can only speak about Michigan.  The Michigan State Police remove you from the registry automatically.  Mine was 15 years ending in 2001.  I went to the registration office in my birth month and they advised me to call MSP as I was no longer in the system.  I called MSP and they said I was automatically removed for completing 15 years.  That was in September of 2001.  I went in Monday September 10th and didn&#039;t call the next day because the terror attacks were all over the news.  I called on Wednesday, September 12th and they advised me that I had completed 15 years in August and that I was no longer required to register.
Now let me ask you a question.  Am I supposed to celebrate or mourn September 11th?
I am in the same position.  I would like to go down to Florida in the winter but I&#039;m afraid Florida will put me on their registry which is for life.]]></description>

That&#039;s a  fascinating question.  I have seven years left before I can get off of the registry in the state  which I  live now.  Since my charges  occurred in  Florida,  I&#039;ve wondered about what happens if I leave here and go elsewhere.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One other odd comment
We as registered people still have to pay taxes, including property, state and federal taxes, and yet we cannot use, frequent or enjoy many of the pleasures that even people do not pay taxes get to enjoy.
We are not even allowed to visit a park and feed the ducks, or push our grandson in a stroller along the lake of a park.

Seems we are owed a refund.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have a question for people who get off the registry. Many have said they were removed, then traveled to another state for the first time since they were arrested, then ended up on that state&#039;s registry, even though they had committed not further crimes, nor ever in that state.
Does anyone know which states you can visit once off the registry that is not going to put you back on a registry? And lastly, how in the living Hell are they even finding out you are visiting in the first place if you do not have to register your travel once released?
Are people going down to the sheriff&#039;s office and asking, triggering a registration?]]></description>

Why do you stay in Florida?  It makes more sense to live in a cold state off of the registry than in a warm state on the registry.]]></description>

Hello Jim, I do have a law suit against the Florida Department of Law Enforcement also want to file a law suit against the Lee County Sheriff’s Office for violating my civil liberties and civil rights. I have my rights restored back in 2003, full civil rights to vote and hold office as said conviction had not taken place, signed by a District Judge from ware my conviction had taken place. I move to Florida 8 months later have proof, I am unable to vote, unable to go to a vocational school, unable to raise our grandchild, I have to PAY every 6 months to them also. I am unable to get the funds together, I did pay on one suit and I did everything wrong so I am out of money. I need help in doing this.]]></description>

Well, congratulation on at least having a business. I&#039;ve been in sales for 26 years (which I&#039;m sick off) because I can&#039;t get anything else. And since the covid shutdown hoax began I can&#039;t even do that.

I plead no contention in 1999 (because I stupidly told my attorney I didn&#039;t have access to more money) for &#039;attempted&#039; solicitation (read no victim), I did 5 years of probation. I waited 7 years before applying (I was told that was required) and since 2012 my request for rights to be restored has been &quot;pending&quot;.

I called today 9/21/20 and was told that as of July 2013 the case hasn&#039;t been &quot;assigned&quot; to anyone yet and that they couldn&#039;t even tell me a &quot;possible&quot; time frame before it would be. Meanwhile, illegals, imaginary and dead people will vote in the next election cycle.

I believe that the restoration of rights in this state are an illusion and always will be.]]></description>
