I agree, however I will take a statue on my license over the alternative any day. But even if they took that off, the info still pops up anywhere your license is scanned. When I got a new license the clerk yelled at the top of her lungs “Did you know you were a sex offender?”.
It is a wonder I made it to my vehicle without being killed. You could have heard a pin drop in there after that. One of the top ten moments of my life that I actually thought I was toast. I just got my license renewed again last year and the clerk never said a word. Same place, different clerk. This time it was an older sweet lady and she made my day.

Also we don’t raise funds to acquire attorneys. We raise funds for expert witnesses, transcript fees, and filing fees. The attorneys take on these cases at their own risk and get paid if they prevail.

Also, FAC, some people still may not be aware that we already have two active challenges to the FL registry IN ITS ENTIRETY, even though it’s currently in neon green at the top of your website.

Members may not want to invest $25k to combat ‘943.0435, F.S.’ brand alone.

‘943.0435, F.S.’ is compelled speech, but a simple letter is not?

Question: Who chooses what FAC seeks funding for as it relates to acquiring attorney to represent the chosen issues? Furthermore, like most offenders I am unemployed and do not have the funds to provide for “Spearheading” by FAC. This statement made absolutely no sense coming from a organization that is well aware of hosing and employment limitations on offenders, as evidenced by your site. Furthermore, if I had the ability to provide funding I would seek out a reputable law firm.

David you are not correct

From the states website and MY drivers license, it does NOT say sex offender.

Here is from the states website

Sexual predators will have “Sexual Predator” spelled out on the card, while sexual offenders have “943.0435, F.S.” listed in this area.

I’m not sure what to make of this comment.
First, Offenders have the statute number, not bold “Sex Offender” and second, FAC does not refuse to file on this issue because (a) we are not a law firm nor attorneys, and (b) if you, David, can put together the funding for a lawsuit, we will gladly spearhead it.

Florida brands offender licenses in bold “Sex Offender” or “Sexual Predator”. The ACLU and, so far, Florida action committee has refused to file on this issue. Only issues that directly affect them!

I’m glad your license didn’t have your status in bold for all to see. Hopefully the statue will become even smaller and eventually be obsolete. I never understood the purpose of branded licenses except for minors, but if a clerk can’t figure out a person’s age they should find a new job.

As a former cop you should know not to speed or you did you have to pee.

Thanks for the laughs and making me think outside of the box.
