So what I&#039;m understanding is that when my son gets out of prison in March and comes back home to Iowa. He&#039;ll  still be on the florida registry even though he has to register in Iowa.   He&#039;ll be off the Iowa registry in 10 years. But he&#039;ll still be on the florida registry?  How the heck is this being allowed? Is there nothing we can do?]]></description>

  I have a possible answer to why they would keep dead people on the registry. Could it be that they could then count them as none compliant  . In so doing they can use that number as a statistic in  showing the need for more police action needed , and more money needed to go after non compliant offenders. 
  Some people just don’t understand how crooked cops and government are.]]></description>

F.A.C is not a bank and relies on donations. Donations from people who many like myself, do not work so have no funding. I live with my parents and I get $23 a month food stamps, that took 12 years of applying to get. 
Lawsuits cost untold 1000s of dollars as you can see FAC is on round three of the ex post facto donations with each being over $20 grand. Even to get removed from the registry can cost $10,000 with no guarantee of removal. (That is what I was quoted to be removed)

Oh and just my opinion but let’s focus on the alive people on the registry with funding. If I am dead, I do not care if I am still on the registry. I need to be able to help my elderly parents and I cannot do that while being imprisoned in my own home.

One time I had to go rescue them when they were on a trip and I was scared to death the entire round trip I was going to get pulled over and arrested for some made of technicality. The courts need to finally admit the registry is an extension of probation. There, I said it, I feel better now. The truth will set you free.]]></description>

Correct me if I&#039;m wrong, but doesn&#039;t the law specifically require registration FOR LIFE? How is that not enough to be removed?

Perhaps FAC ought to file suit against the FDLE on behalf of all dead Florida registrants and their family members (most, if not all, are likely still being harassed). Make it a federal suit, since common sense, fairness, and decency was pushed out of their state courts long ago.]]></description>

I just saw on my local news some guys molested several children over several years and he agreed to plead guilty as long as he did not have to go on the registry. The judge agreed. 
HOW in the Hell did I and many others get forced on retroactively and did not even exist when I went to court, yet this guy got a break????? AND add to that, we are on for LIFE (most of us in Florida) so how, how, how? This proves something fishy is going on.]]></description>
