Has anyone experienced Texas not removing you from their registry, even if you moved years ago. I just found out they won’t.

Was there every any rational justification to expand the requirements or did they just do it anyway because they could? Florida’s laws are like being on steroids might make you stronger; yet does a lot of damage. Now I know why Florida looks like a private part because the state definitely likes peeing on freedom.

Very well done and thorough for sure.

#2 Every one of these are punishment. Even if one or two were/are not, how does a judge not find at least out of an entire list, just ONE of them punishment?

#3 The answer to why they keep adding stuff? Because they CAN get away with it. Each time a ruling states we are not being punished, an Angel in Heaven loses a feather out of their wings.

Until they (the registry mafia) are stopped, or challenged by a judge, it is just going to get worse. And that is not me being a negative Nancy, we ALL know that is true.

Each day I wake up I anticipate the new post on here. Will it be a victory story or another kick in the privates? You would think with some of these other states like Michigan, winning cases and enjoying victories, a lightbulb would go off somewhere in a judges head.
Myself and others don’t want to be that guy/gal sitting in a wheelchair at 90 years old, in a nursing and the nurse says “Mister Johnson, I have good news, you no longer have to register”. You are so happy that it finally happened 50 years after the registry that you have a heart attack and die right there on the spot.
