Quentin (not his real name) was convicted eight years ago of child pornography possession in Florida. He served his time and has since moved to another state. But his sentence required his photo and other personal details to appear on Florida’s sex offender registry, and there they will stay for the rest of his life, even if he never sets foot in the state again.
The state’s registry is padded with thousands of Quentins, people who don’t live in Florida. Under a change to state law passed this spring, there will soon be more: Starting July 1, out-of-state registrants who visit for at least three days (down from five) must go to a sheriff’s office to have their personal details added to Florida’s list. If they don’t, they face a third-degree felony.
Rules like that aren’t unique—22 other states keep out-of-state visitors on their registries for life, according to a study released last November. It’s one reason state lists misrepresent the actual number of people with sex-crime records living in communities. As already-bloated lists keep ballooning, they feed the impression of a growing population of dangerous people who require ever-more-extreme laws to monitor and control.
You may have to face it but you don’t have to take it. If the registries keep growing then, it means the number of people opposed to them keeps growing, plus at least some of their friends and families.
The more numerous they are the stronger they potentially are. Organize registrants into a voting bloc in your district. Get the message out to all registrants to boycott the products of all registry countries.
Here’s how to boycott USA products:
The US Government receives most of its revenue from personal income taxes of workers. Products made in the USA fund sex-offender registries.
You can combat this and fight for your rights by not buying products from the USA.

…or tell the hapless vigiliante mass hysteria public that we will live next to you and no government can take away our rights to citizenship in a free society and more impotantly our dignity. JEV
