In reply to Jerry. What is wrong with this system? Piece of sh*t prosecutors for one. They will foam at the mouth to push judges to side with them when they KNOW what they're doing is Morally Wrong. One of many examples.

The question: whether or not State legislators intended 775.215 formerly 794.065 to serve the objectives of criminal punishment: retribution and deterrence.

Because the statute affixes culpability to prior criminal conduct it serves the aim of retribution.

A person whose conviction under s. 794.011, s. 800.04, s. 827.071, s. 847.0135(5), or s. 847.0145 was classified as a felony of the first degree or higher COMMITS A FELONY OF THE THIRD DEGREE, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083

A person who violates this subsection and whose conviction under s. 794.011, s. 800.04, s. 827.071, s. 847.0135(5), or s. 847.0145 was classified as a felony of the second or third degree COMMITS A MISDEMEANOR OF THE FIRST DEGREE, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

The statute also criminalizes conduct legal before its enactment with the intent to deter future criminal action.

Finally, unlike other remedial statutes dealing with sexual offenders, 775.215 is prospectively applied.

Considering statutory construction and history along with a safe guard against an Ex Post Facto violation with its prospective application suggest the intention of its makers in 2004 was to impose a punishment.

A happy healthy New Year to all.

The Illinois case specifically seems a no-brainer. It’s the same logic as pocket parks – illegal as hell but still done. Kind of surprised such a case made it to SCOTUS but if that’s what it takes to end the practice nationwide I’m glad to see it.

In reply to Florida Action Committee. I worry a little more that they pick a good case with a bad lawyer arguing it.

If you are a home owner and a day care decides to move within 500 feet they should be the ones to have to move. What is wrong with this system.
