Senator Book Bill advances
As if there was any doubt, Senate Bill 234 (https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2021/234) sailed through the Criminal Justice Committee with a vote of 8 to zero.
The bill would require anyone convicted of a sex offense to register even if they have not completed their sentence or paid their fee. It redefines the term “sex offender” in the Florida Statutes and circumvents the court’s orders in a 2nd DCA case that we wrote about last year (https://floridaactioncommittee.org/ruling-allows-tampa-man-to-avoid-sex-offender-registration-until-he-pays-10k-fine/). In the comments to that article we wrote, “UNQUESTIONABLY the legislature will pass something to address this.” So here it is…
Some of Senator Book’s other Bills this year include SB 236, requiring pretrial detention for persons charged with a “dangerous crime”, and SB 812, which would allow hearsay testimony in Human Trafficking cases.

“requiring”. It should be up to the judge to determine. And most would not likely let hem out anyway if they are dangerous. But I love how some politicians talk criminal justice reform and then push more bills thru that do just the opposite.
How is this bill different from Florida SB126?
Honestly… not very. 126 wasn’t sponsored by Book which is why hers is moving ahead and the other has had no action since 12/9.
Meh. Personally, I’ll continue to ensure that the Hit Lists do absolutely nothing good. I will continue to ensure that they cause as much harm as possible and cost the most amount of resources of time, money, goodwill, and peace possible.
Everyone should always try to take as much from big government as possible. Certainly try to take as much from their law enforcement criminals as possible. Their budgets are magnitudes too large. Vote the big government lovers out.
The other two bills will require greater sheriffs’ and corrections budgets as they imprison more people. They are sure to get strong support from small-government types in our legislature.
…and ironically, the law creates a method to sell American babies to wealthy same-sex couples in the Netherlands. (Place CP on a computer, then fly to the Netherlands and deliver baby so that the father cannot fight for custody of the unborn baby). YES, this CAN HAPPEN!
Which law does that? Placing CP on a computer is a crime I thought.
Not if done by “law enforcement.” Cops routinely email CP to people in chat rooms. Once they open the email, they’re screwed. No such thing as entrapment in Floriduh, especially with “sex crimes.”
Even worse things are happening to children and they’re using every excuse they can CONjure to grab babies. Much, much worse horrific uses of precious babies. Look up adrenachrome, if you have a strong constitution.
How did they (she) redefine the term “sex offender”?
