My second felony stemmed from what was essentially a traumatic brain injury-related mistake. I had moved from Colorado, where there was no registry requirement at the time, and Florida’s laws had changed. I failed to report to the sex offender office because I genuinely forgot, and suddenly it became a felony charge.

Another person arrested the same day as me had a similar situation. He sold a vehicle and removed it from his registry information, but the junkyard that bought it didn’t process the title for two months. Once they finally completed the paperwork through the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles, FDLE was notified, and he was charged with a felony as well.

Experiences like that have made me terrified of dealing with standard junkyards too another thing taked away from me really.

Glad they didn’t get you and put 2 felonies on you

I had two technical violations last year and was not arrested.
I failed to get a truck registered with fdle, and failed to register.
in both cases,
I was engaged by sympathetic authorities and felt a wave of understanding and compassion from the system.

@Richard Charles
The “it is written that” statement is, without a doubt, true. A recent ABC News affiliate featured a reporter’s police ride-along. In that Florida city, the officer explained how the Flock tag reader system helped to track criminal activity. The officer mentioned that while on patrol, they “receive alerts for tags that have expired, are registered to individuals with criminal warrants, or are registered to sex offenders”. This report indicates that being on the registry is a probable cause of criminal activity. Here is the kicker: if you cannot read or missed the article you mention, this ABC affiliate is telling us that law enforcement uses Flock to track individuals on the registry.

Perhaps he is trying to be a martyr for the cause by drawing attention to the 300 ft rule. Hope Robin at NCRSOL is looking to help this gent and take on the law.

It is written that we are flagged as PFR’s and that we are all in the flock database, and are absolutely being tracked here in Florida

In the last 100 years we’ve seen this type of treatment toward a people group more than once. Thank God for our advocacy groups that fight on our behalf.

Restaurants install playgrounds to attract more young families to their business. Our problem is not with them. It’s with the state.
