In reply to Saddles. Yeah then they charge us money that thanks to them we do not have and put us in jail for not paying.

At 68 years of age I never got married. I sort of took that advice from my dad. Homelessness well in many ways this registry brings this on many and some. Are Authorities self-centered today with much of this sex registry or is government poor in spirit and they have the last say. I can’t even image having a family and not being able to be around one’s kids let along this law of being within a 1000 feet of this establishment.

Concerned many of these sex camps should never be or has the sex registry gotten to a stage of hobo status with attachments. Its a disgrace to American Civil liberties. Look at the job market for sex offenders if the truth be known.

You are right Saddles it has gone on long enough. It should have never been started in the first place it hasn’t done a damn thing in 16 years that I have been on it. A lot have been on longer than that. All have suffered for no reason, broken family’s children have missed the parents for no reason. Why don’t the people running the registry care about what’s happening. The all know from the data the registry is for nothing making everyone suffer on an on it goes it doesn’t make sense to keep the registry going. Most people were living life happily with no problems. The registry is cruel and unusual punishment. The only ones that don’t think so is the Cruel ones!. So yes everyone on the registry agrees something has to be done to stop the registry a long time ago. “AMEN”

I had applied to the homeless coalition in Polk county I was on the list for over 3 years. Finally I found a place I could live in a camper in a different county they gave me the impression that they would never find a place for me

They should appeal all residency restrictions including the 1000 ft. Not permitting presence outside schools when schools are closed, yet permitting it when schools ate open? It is obvious public safety is not the government’s interest. Housing is a basic human right. In the florida constitution it is an inalienable right to own and protect property. That should be invoked when someone is charged with violating these statutes/ordinances.

Did you know the bible recognizes that poverty,social injustice, and homelessness are real problems. So if FAC, affiliates, & advocates get rid of the sex registry things will be a lot better. This sex registry is a barrier for many. Hey I had two good jobs before I got mixed up in all this and I’m sure many had some good jobs also. They say all’s fair in love and war but lying isn’t acceptable for anyone.
Things will be a lot better in all states and this registry in Florida has to go as well as in all states. One can understand a bit of probation or punishment but this registry is way out of proportion.
