RTAG Creates the new 'Trip Advisor' for sex offenders.
It’s not quite Trip Advisor, nor does it provide reviews of hotels or tell you what to see while you are there, but it will tell you if you’re likely to be let into France to visit your dying grandmother or if you shouldn’t bother booking that business trip to Korea.
Registrant Travel Action Group (RTAG), an affiliated group that focuses on the international travel issues concerning registered citizens, has launched it’s new site and included is a forum where you will be able to share your travel experiences and review others’ in order to determine where you can and can’t go, now that the US is notifying all other countries of your registration status.
The site and the form where you can share experiences can be found here: http://registranttag.org/travel-experience-report/
Your information will remain anonymous, but the data collected will be consolidated and used to provide other registrants with guidance when they are planning a trip outside the country. It will also be a useful forum to share information on this important topic.
Special thanks to the team at RTAG for putting this together.

I travel to Bermuda from Florida every year. As a registrant (Orange County) I go to my Sheriff’s office and file the proper paperwork for traveling to a specific destination. Depending on the State or Country, the laws are different when it comes to visiting Offenders. Just make sure and tell Officials in the State you are registered you are leaving. Bermuda per say does not have any specific (Dutch Laws) preventing myself from traveling there. Once Florida knows what I’m doing I’m completely compliant regarding my travels. I have never been asked further about my Registrant status while traveling nor at my Destination, Hotel etc. But if you do plan on going anywhere outside of Florida just let your County Officials know about it. Hopefully this RTAG Blog will help others traveling abroad.
how does one lawfully travel between states to get to the ferry to go to Bermuda?
United States v. Murphy, 664 F.3d 798 (10th Cir.2011)
The majority concludes that “the intentional abandonment of a home does not in itself change the ‘jurisdiction where the offender resides,’ so long as the offender was still a resident of the state when the abandonment occurred.”
