The only thing really keeping me here is my Parents. They are elderly and I pretty much take care of them. Most of my extended family is in other states and haven’t seen them in more than 30 years. My Mom and Dad are all I really have left if something were to happen to me. Getting arrested 3 decades ago almost killed my mother and she had a nervous break down. I own that and work every day to make it right, as much as is possible.

I have some sage advice for anyone getting close to going to court, to ask to be removed from the registry. KEEP that to yourself. Let me explain. If when you go into register or conversing with law enforcement that comes to your house, and you are bragging to them that this *@#$ will end soon because I am going to court, DONT do it.
All it takes is for one of them to trip you up and get a minor charge, to keep you for having a stellar record while on the government imposed life sentence on the registry. If you are going to court soon or in the near future, just be careful who you blab that too is all I am saying. It can come back to haunt you.
That happened to me when I was close to getting released from prison. But it wasn’t me blabbing, the unit posts the pre-release inmates in the common areas on the bulletin boards.
You wouldn’t believe how many inmates and guards tried to trip me up before my release. I didn’t breath well until I got outside the gates and in my parents car. I looked back for miles to see if we got pulled over and somehow I was released by mistake. But as we all now know, getting released from prison/community control or probation was only part of the battle due to the registry.

In closing, again, just keep your intentions on the removal process on the downlow as you never know what evil devious people are around you in everyday life. Even on here we have a lot of people who join the conversations that are “Wolves in sheep’s clothing” just waiting to pounce.

If you’re no longer required to register in your home state, why would you go to FL and tell them you USED TO BE on a registry?
I’m not giving “legal advice”, I’m speaking in terms of common sense. When you’re released from registry obligations, why would you assume you need to go register in a place you’re only visiting for a vacation?
Here’s what lawyers need to do; Fight this bullshit because when people have completed their probations and registry requirements, the idea in his/her mind is “Yes! Finally free to live my life again!” No one, and I mean NO ONE is thinking “Gee, I should probably get myself caught up again in this bs by telling another state I was once on the registry in my home state.”

That’s like having been on probation for a DUI, going on a vacation somewhere and going to their local law enforcement to say “Hey, keep an eye on me. I have been known to drink and drive. Put me on probation while I’m here visiting, thanks.”

Lo and behold, the newly released DOJ SORNA “Rules and Regulations” explicitly state that the International Travel Notification, like other SORNA registration requirements at the Federal level, applies for as long as the individual is subject to federal registration.

on page 9 of the newly promulgated regs, it states –

“International Megan’s Law added the international travel reporting requirements of SORNA and related authorities, appearing in 34 U.S.C. 20914(a)(7), (c) and implemented by §§ 72.6(d), 72.7(f) of this rule. In common with the other requirements under SORNA appearing in this rule, those requirements continue to apply until the end of the SORNA registration period. Whether registration jurisdictions choose to impose such requirements for longer periods than the registration periods prescribed by SORNA is within their discretion. See 73 FR at 38046.” [emphasis added]

in other words, as far as Federal SORNA is concerned, the IML Travel Notice requirement ends when the individual’s registration term ends under SORNA (per one’s Tier). However, individual jurisdictions can extend the requirements if they choose, for those required under their jurisdictions to register.

So, it seems settled -if your time of registration is over per your Federal offense tier, no need to provide this International Travel Notice as far as Federal SORNA goes (though check if your state separately may require it).

ACSOL expects to prepare a legal challenge, according to their website.

Also question on the timeline on the tiers. Is there start from the time of offense or time of conviction? Or does this change from state to state too?
