The most offensive and outrage thing about all this is that WE have to prove burden of proof that the registry is punishment and creates what they refer to a: “substantial burden.”

They know it’s punishment. They just want us to waste time and money filling motions and suits to prove it.

CherokeeJack Yes my friend we can sure feel the injustice first hand. But to hit the root of where it all started with proof that it is true to see injustice of additional punishment being done by LE that is like their holy grail Ground Zero of where it all started. With Florida putting me on their public website and making it public record exceeded the Tier Level 1 judgement I received granted under the State and Federal Due Process even though it’s not an extension of punishment bullshit. By making it public it sure is Public Humiliation / Shaming to me and my Oxford dictionary definition of “Punishment on and OFFENDER”

@Allan

Each time a judge states the registry is not punishment, the law makers see that the green light go ahead to add even more supposed non punishment rules, laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations, requirements and prohibitions.

I have been the victim of a crime on numerous occasions while on the registry. Law enforcement will not even respond, they just tell me to file a report online. When I do just that, there is never a follow up by a detective, even if I can identify the suspect.

We can all list 100’s of things we either have to do or are not allowed to do. And I believe I am speaking for everyone when I say we all know it is punishment because we live it on a daily basis. The lawmakers make the laws, then go home each day to a hot meal and peaceful sleep while we toss and turn wondering if we are going to forget one of the 100s of things we cannot do or have to do like reporting a new email address.

Also how they have the food drives after the hurricane set up at the schools too, nope not punishment to be denied Public services since were not allowed on school grounds (never tested this didn’t want to get arrested)

CherokeeJack We may get to test this big time. As you may know a little of my case from New Jersey I am giving them until the end of October then I will be refusing to register as it has become an extension of punishment. When they arrest me it will become unstoppable. The original New Jersey Megans Law is based on that it is informative NOT punitive. The NJSC ruling on the registry in Doe vs Poritz “Even though it is not an extension of punishment the state must provide Due Process. Well after having this State and Federal court ruling of Due Process it became double punishment. I earned a Tier Level 1 status that was stripped away 2 1/2 years later by using laws of the VCC to enforce public notification of my act. THAT WAS A NO NO as I was convicted before the VCC and I have the Civil Judgement “by the court” who reduced this to a level 1. I’m one of the 52 who challenged the Prosecutors assessment an won a tier level reduction by the court. Lee County Sheriff is now backpedaled their Our Laws Constitutional to throw it on FDLE as it is their fault. They don’t even want to do their monthly check here now.

Nothing like being charged with a crime for trying to stay alive during a hurricane. Definitely not punishment.
