Is there a legal and or moral reason to check on someone at 4:25 am? That unless you are never home and the only way to reach you is off hours? Seems like a vendetta or something by law enforcement. If my doorbell rang at 4:25 I wouldn&#039;t get out of bed.]]></description>

A funny story i got dude. A couple years ago a cop came to my house to do a compliance check at around 3 in the morning. That previous day I did my oil change and left the old oil in my catch pan in my front yard. He walks up to my door and steps in it ankle deep <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> needless to say he was mad lol <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f937.png" alt="🤷" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />]]></description>

About two years ago F.A.C (one of the people of many who are volunteers I guess) asked me to send a photo of the flyers I get on my door if I am not home to the FAC site. They said they received but nothing ever came of it. That&#039;s all I can do, if they did not want to do anything with it that&#039;s on them.

Also, I do not want to be the one in the lawsuit so there is that. I too feel it is compelled speech with a large yellow flyer stating Sexual offender (We tried to reach you). I still have one that I saved in my filing cabinet.

I also showed it to a lawyer once and they also did not want to pursue it.]]></description>

I have to wonder if them leaving a flyer on your house for all to see is compelled speech for you by them leaving it.  It is more than them announcing their visit, but it is enough to announce to those who can see and read it their PFR business there, which for a PFR is traumatizing enough.   They cannot by law leave their flyer in the mailbox so they leave it for all to see.  It is much like a sign that was recently decided upon in MO, IMO.  I wonder if this could be legally challenged and defeated since there surely has to be a least restrictive way to do this, of which this is not.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The deputy who comes to my house, when I asked him about this, he said he liked when the registered persons are in one spot, it keeps him from driving all over the county to find people. And if they are not home, he can ask if they have seen Joe or Mary lately. 

There is no requirement in my county to be home when the deputy arrives, but if you are not home, you get a flyer on your door that can be embarrassing. And if they cannot find you in a certain amount of time, they can consider you absconding. 

One time I sat home for a month waiting for them to come back, and I finally had to go to a doctor&#039;s appointment, and when I got home, my luck there was the flyer on my door. I called the number on the card, and they came back later that day to verify my address. What a mess.

I have dodged a lot of near misses (Not of my fault) but the system sucks and NOT in our favor. Luckily the deputy who comes to my house is an understanding and fair person. I dread the day he retires, if I am still alive, or better, off the registry.]]></description>
