SB 234 – WE NEED PRESENCE IN TALLAHASSEE!!!
For those who didn’t watch the Senate Judiciary Meeting today, SB234 made it through. Senator Book gave her pitch, never mentioning the change in definition to “part of a day” and NOBODY showed up to oppose it. The next stop is the Senate Rules Committee and we NEED, NEED, NEED people to show up to speak out in opposition. We MUST put our objections on the record.
Anybody in or near Tallahassee who would be willing to speak out against this bill, please contact [email protected]. We need to do a better job at the next stop.

I was just thinking…some registered citizens would not be permitted by law to register addresses that violate distance restrictions. So if a registrant’s doctor’s office, or grocery store or local fast food joint is near or includes a playground, then it can not be registered nor frequented by the registrant.
Register everything. Then let FDLE sort it all out. Death by a thousand paper cuts.
Good point! It’s effectively a statewide proximity ordinance.
A statewide Brevard County, even if that was not the intention.

I can see it now, Grocery stores will place playground equipment in their parking lots so we can be banned from their place of business. This could be a GOOD thing, as again, only a moron or A-hole would not consider that punitive. If we are unable to shop for groceries, we will be up shizt creek.
Should this pass I am sure law enforcement is going to lose their minds. Imagine registering everything from Wendy’s to the Post Office to even the Sheriff’s Office. I intend to register everything under the sun.
I would bet that if the registry were considered punishment, as it should be, that those judges would NOT in favor of Ray James. (The case in Tampa that started all this.) Those judges are only making it a big deal so as to get the Legislature to act quickly. They would have read the law as everyone other person on this planet has been reading it for 25 years if they knew that their favorable ruling would mean James wouldn’t have to register until he paid his fine. Which would be the case if the laws were correctly considered punishment. He couldn’t be retroactively required to follow Book’s law that’s about to pass with flying colors.
THE SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY IS PUNISHMENT. All of our energy, money, time and sweat should be spent on getting some judge to simply state the obvious. We’re gonna wear ourselves out with these fires that we keep trying to (unsuccessfully) stamp out.
When would this rule take effect, if it is passed?

If I had the resources to attend I’d be there, since by virtue of being kidnapped, trafficked across state lines, and held for ransom for the purpose of placing me on their government hitlist, I guess I’m now a “Floridian” for all intents and purposes.
My calls and letters were obviously ignored.
