Some sex offenders no longer required to register in Indiana
egistered sex offenders living in Indiana no longer will be subject to a lifetime registration requirement in the Hoosier State simply for vacationing in Florida, where all sex offenders are listed on the registry for life.
A new Indiana Supreme Court ruling clarifies a provision of state law that mandates sex offenders registered in another state, who subsequently relocate or return to Indiana, to also register in Indiana for the same duration as their out-of-state registration period. The Indiana high court said Florida’s lifetime registry listing, which applies after a sex offender “resides” in Florida for three days or more, does not trigger a parallel lifetime registration requirement in Indiana.
It’s not known how many registered sex offenders may come off the rolls in Indiana as a result of the Supreme Court decision.

Why do the states get to set the rules? One state you can be removed in a certain amount of time, others like Florida want to keep you on it even after you die. We did our time not only in prison, house arrest, and/or probation. WHY< WHY< WHY do we have a retroactive punishment that the courts say is NOT punishment. And even if it is not, why retro actively apply it without being able to have a hearing?
Not for nothing and this will never happen but you should be able to appeal being on the registry in FL 5 or 10 years after you are charged if your charges are not heinous. waiting 20 or 25 years after you finished your probation is ridiculous. I moved to another state and they wont put me on the registry here because of what i was charged with(adjudication withheld). So i am not on the registry here but in FL i will be on it for another 15 years at least and that is if i win my trial to get off. i will be a very old man at that time if i am even alive and none of it makes sense.
To bad it does not apply in Florida where neighbors are harrassing the registered and don’t even know the story behind the cases.
For 13 years the police calls, code enforcement, state FDLE investigators and even Wildlife Management because of feeding birds, squirrels, and visits from the gopher tortises that live in the backyard while laying their eggs to make more turtles. And the hawks, one of which got shot by the neighbor and for 3 weeks had hotdogs, geikos, and frogs until it could fly again. Removed pellet from wing and small bandage until healed.
About to be homeless myself and if they send me to the jail then I will go on a hunger strike. September 2025

What happen to your house?
But its still public information for those who would like to make sure the neighborhood is secure from these scumbags.
And how is the registry going to protect you? It isn’t some magical dome lol
You are sorely mistaken if you think the registry has any way of protecting you or preventing crime. I have yet to see a case anywhere in the nation where the registry has played any part in apprehending or preventing anything. We are just burning billions of tax dollars for nothing.
Yes Sir! I agree. We need to know where they are and block from coming into the neighborhoods!
And how are you going to do that 28billion? If I want to move right next door to you, I have the liberty to do it.
All roads lead to Indiana
This is great news! Florida is so behind 😢
