Okay, we went from “required” to “should”. And I’d contend from the discussion at the link that “should” only means if you do anything, that is all that you should do and nothing more.

I’d say instead that no PFR should ever allow “verifications” or “compliance checks”. If there is any law which says they must be done, that is the problem of whomever must do them. It is not a problem for PFRs.

PFRs really need to stop being so helpful with government harassment. Would the Registry war look different if PFRs stopped being so helpful? I have to think that is obvious. No one should be signaling that the Registry harassment scheme is acceptable.

PFRs also need stop allowing these giant, out-of-control governments to be such cowards. If they intend to try to force PFRs to allow government employees to visit them ANYWHERE and show them ID, then make the cowards write it into law. Make them say that a PFR is required to do x, y, and z. Spell it out. Personally, I think they don’t do that because they know it would never be ruled as legal and they want to keep the ability to intimidate, threaten, and coerce PFRs to do whatever they can get away with. That is what bully cowards do.

If the cowards can write a law that says PFRs must allow government visits, then and only then should PFRs do it. They expect PFRs should follow laws. They should also.

Thank you, Education, for recovering the following from our archives.

That’s not the same thing, of course. “Education” said it is required to show your driver’s license.

You don’t want to clarify what you meant?

“Sick of it all.” was talking about when law enforcement was at his door and asking questions. You responded, “If you are not on probation, you are not required to answer their questions, only to show them your driver’s license.” If you were not talking about that situation, what were you talking about?

It’s true. I live in Florida, okaloosa county to be exact. They ask to see your driver’s license. It’s ridiculous.

@Education

I pray my deputy does not retire or get re-assigned. He is so kind and professional. He also always asks if I am ok, how I am doing and then just reminds me to make sure to register and update any changes.

When I lived in another county, I made a huge mistake and sent a letter into the department praising that officer for being so kind and professional. I guess his fellow officers made fun of him because the next time and going forward, “TWO” different officers came to my door once a week and they were not as nice.
* Just to clarify, this was also while I was on probation. During that time City cops, county deputies and even FDLE agents and probation officer came to my door sometimes more than once a week. I also lived in a house that had a homeowner’s association. As soon as I was off probation, I moved to another county.

I am happy to be off all sanctions but “in my opinion”, the registry IS a form of sanctioning.

No, I did not say that.

Government is compromising their authority and playing on each and everyone of us. Whether one went to jail, prison or not. Yes I am still giving my quarterly fingerprints by mail. I live right across the street from kids. The confusion is the injustice of all these sufferings many have to put up with. Seems authorities are playing cowboy and Indians and the authorities are chief of their own makings which is very negative and unjust.

Are you sure that is true? That is hard to believe.

So I’m clear – are you saying that if law enforcement shows up at the door of a PFR (in Florida), the PFR is required to answer the door and show them their “driver’s license”?

If that is what you are saying, does it matter what agency the law enforcement is (e.g. city police, state, sheriff, etc.)? And if it does, which ones are applicable?

Lastly, if what you said is correct then I think that you are also saying that a PFR cannot have a Ring doorbell (or something similar) and when law enforcement visits, do not answer the door but instead tell them, “I’m sorry, but you are not welcome here. Please get off of my property.” Are you saying that?
