That sucks!

No
There is a sentence at the end that says if the person would otherwise be required to register under the laws of Florida they are out of luck (in other words). That makes the section useless to begin with. The only useful thing in this bill is the vehicle registration.

If SB 1552 becomes law with the relief language intact, would it not allow Jason A to petition for removal from Floriduh’s registry?

THIS needs to stop. THIS is what needs to be challenged and challenged ferociously.

Dear Anon and Uncertain (and anyone else interested),

We all know that sex offender registries frustrate our constitutional rights. I came across Mont v. US on SCOTUS Blog last year. It does not specifically rule that any sex offender registry is punishment. But the Mont Court does recognize that supervision and imprisonment are punishments from the same sentence. Well, so is having to register as a sex offender in many cases. Usually a judge orders us to register or face the consequences of further prosecution. That being said, I think Mont allows us to argue that because a court orders says we have to register as part of our sentences, the registration is punishment just like imprisonment and supervision. I would like to know what FAC and the lawyers think.

Just wait until you accidentally violate one of the lifetime requirements your basically on trial for the first charge. They are giving everyone 6 freaking months in jail here for victimless crime. Charges carry 4 points but then they add your original charge points and your up to years in prison so people take the 6 months. If you explain it to the judge basically your on trial for the first charges in my case was 22 years ago I had to explain that like what’s that got todo with being a digit off on your VIN number or staying away from your confinement (your home) for 4 days instead of 3 cause something came up. Why have we lost our 5th amendment rights to not incriminate yourself to begin with. To have to give them info you can easily get wrong. Why are they asking us if we are married separated ect ect. No one gives a shit. Best thing todo keep you like 10 pills in your pocket they arrest you pop them…cops probably take the long way so you’d be good and hard before you get to jail. F this sucks!

Bob, lets call it out for what it REALLY amounts to: a form of terrorism, abuse and neglect.

It’s synthetic safety for worrywart mothers!

Are you saying that when a judge sentences a convicted sex offender to register as such, that is deemed as punishment for purposes of the sentence under Mont v. US?
